The “Fast and the Furious” franchise has excelled with each new movie, surprising fans with how the plot has evolved from simple street races to space missions.
And if it depends on Vin Diesel, interpreter of Dom Toretto, the franchise could even win a musical version.
During an interview for The Kelly Clarkson Show (via Comic Book), the star was asked about the idea and didn’t rule out the possibility.
“Well, I’m dying to make a musical. I’m dying to do a musical for my whole life. “, did he declare.
Diesel also revealed that he is a huge fan of musicals and almost took part in one with director Steven Spielberg.
“I was interested in doing ‘Guys and Dolls’ with Steven Spielberg, but we ended up not doing it. For a long time I thought that the role of Nathan Detroit in ‘Guys and Dolls’ would be very interesting if it was renewed, the character played by Frank Sinatra, you know?
For those who don’t know, Diesel is also taking risks in his singing career and even released two songs last year, titled ‘Feel Like I Do’ and ‘Days Are Gone’.
However, it looks like the musical version of ‘The Fast and the Furious’ is far from happening, officially.
Remember, “The Fast and the Furious 9” picked up at the box office last weekend, surpassing the impressive $ 400 million mark worldwide.
In the United States, the feature was created with an excellent US $ 70 million – which is the biggest debut in the country since the start of the COVID pandemic. On the international market, 335 million US dollars have already been collected.

In total, the production has already raised 405 million dollars worldwide.
It should be mentioned that in Brazil, “Velozes e Furiosos 9” also broke the record for the biggest post-pandemic debut, with a solid R $ 12.7 million.
