Fast and Furious is one of the most loved franchises in the world. The series has a massive fanbase around the world. It is mostly loved for attractive cars, chasing scenes, heists, and much more.

Paul Walker as Brian O’Conner, was one of the most loved characters in the franchise. After the death of Paul Walker in 2013, it was believed that Furious 7 would be the last film of the franchise.

However, the makers announced that more Fast and Furious movies will be made. Now, Fast and Furious 10 is being said to be the end of ‘The Fast Saga.’

Release date: ‘Fast & Furious 9’ Delayed for next year

F9 is scheduled to be released in the United States on June 25, 2021. F9 was previously scheduled to be theatrically released in the United States on April 19, 2019, April 10, 2020, May 22, 2020 by Universal Pictures.

It has pushed back its original release date by a year. Universal Studios, the company behind the “Fast & Furious” franchise, made the decision because of the impact that the fast-moving coronavirus is having on the global economy and the distribution landscape.

But on March 12, the film was pushed back 10 months to April 2, 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On October 2, 2020, the film moved to May 28, 2021, after No Time to Die was moved to its release slot, before moving to its current date.

Several high-profile releases have moved their release date as the rate of infection has increased. “A Quiet Place Part II” has opted not to premiere in March and the James Bond adventure “No Time to Die” moved from April to November.

These moves come at a cost. There’s often tens of millions of dollars in lost marketing revenue.

Final Thoughts

‘F9’ will have to wait a little longer to launch into space, as the latest instalment of the franchise has been delayed once again.

The ninth title in the vroom-vroom-bang-bang series, will finally open in cinemas on 25 June, 2021 in the United States. It is scheduled to world premiere in South Korea and Taiwan on May 19, 2021.
