Justin Lin's departure from 'Fast X' reportedly has to do with conflict over the script and clashes with series star Vin Diesel.
New reports about Justin Lin's sudden exit from the Fast & Furious franchise suggest the director’s departure came after a disagreement with producer and star Vin Diesel. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lin and Diesel's clash came after multiple re-writes and compromises on Fast X, bringing the director to a breaking point where he voluntarily left the Fast & Furious family.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY According to THR, right before quitting the franchise, Lin thought he had locked in a script for Fast X. Unfortunately, a scene set in Eastern Europe had to be scrapped from the film due to the Ukraine War. That fact added to the chaotic production, which has yet to cast one of its main villains yet. On top of that, Universal Studios sent Lin’s script to another writer in London to refine the dialogue, a move that was poorly recieved by Lin.
Although Lin's departure from the director’s chair was abrupt, the filmmaker remains attached to Fast X as a producer. According to THR, Lin also gave his blessing to the continued production of Fast X to calm things down and prevent any other cast or crew members from jumping ship.
