Fast & Furious 9 will come out 2 years after on April 19,2019 and Fans will have to wait until the next decade for the finale, “Fast 10” which is set to hit theaters on April 2, 2021.
Deadline announced that the next film is being set in NYC and with the long standing embargo now lifted from Cuba, there are rumors that the project may be shooting a few scenes there as well. Parts of the movie will also be filmed in the Atlanta area and the casting calls for extras have just come out for Atlanta.

Dear Justin Lin,
I never acted in my life and I want to be in the next movie and fast and furious 10. I love all the cast and crew. Jason Statham is brilliant, Dwayne Johnson is fantastic playing his role and so is the other cast and crew.
I am 22 going on 23 who is a huge fan of fast and furious movies. I want to be in fast and furious 9 and 10. I have never acted in my life before.
Live in Atlanta and interested in the women non speaking roles
I am 19 and live north of Atlanta. These movies have had a direct impact on my life and it would be an amazing experience to be a small part of one.
