The end of the Fast and Furious franchise with the 11th film leaves American actor Vin Diesel looking for a new saga.
A new franchise for Vin Diesel
The famous actor Vin Diesel, known for his role as Dominic Toretto in the Fast and Furious franchise, is preparing for a change. As the 11th installment of Fast and Furious marks the end of the Universal Pictures saga, the American actor is already looking to replace this franchise that has defined his career.
Farewell Fast and Furious, welcome Kojak?
With the end of the Fast and Furious franchise, Vin Diesel finds himself in an unusual situation. He no longer has a major franchise to rely on. However, the actor seems to have found the ideal solution: the reboot of the Kojak series. Announced in 2015, the project is still in development at Universal Pictures, the studio behind Fast and Furious.
The original series, broadcast in the 1970s, follows the adventures of Kojak, a New York detective willing to do anything to solve his cases. The character, portrayed by Telly Savalas, is recognizable for his love of cars and lollipops. The reboot of this series could therefore be a perfect replacement for Fast and Furious.
A promising future for Kojak
While the Kojak project has not been very active in recent years, it does share similarities with Fast and Furious, making it an interesting option for Vin Diesel. The actor could find himself at the helm of a new action franchise focused on cars and crime. He would then transition from the role of a criminal racer to that of a police officer.
What do we think?
This news is both exciting and reassuring for the future of the American actor at the helm of the Fast and Furious franchise. It shows that Vin Diesel is not done yet and is willing to push the boundaries of the action genre. The reboot of Kojak could very well be the next big franchise to watch.
