Oh No! The Release Date For Fast 9 Has Been Pushed Back (Again)
The Fast and Furious franchise has been plagued by drama thanks to a major rift between stars Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel, but the latest beef between cast members has resulted in the next installment in the long-running series getting pushed back. Tyrese Gibson, who plays Roman, took to Instagram back in October 2017 to reveal why Fast 9‘s release date has been pushed back a year from April 19, 2019 to April 10, 2020. According to Gibson, the reason for the delay is because of Johnson’s Hobbs and Shaw spinoff.
“#PSA Congratulations to @TheRock and your brother in law aka 7 bucks producing partner @hhgarcia41 for making the fast and the furious franchise about YOU – And like you, DJ even if they call I will not be deleting this post,” he captioned an image of the new release date. “Gn folks see you in 2020 April #FastFamily right? Nah….. it’s about #TeamDewayne #3yrs will it be worth the wait? #NoShaw just Hobbs will this be another #BayWatch? Guys guys just relax I’m just a passionate film critic.”
However, on Friday, Variety announced that Universal has now pushed back the film another six weeks from April 10, 2020 to May 22, 2020, which is the start of the Memorial Day weekend. The movie still does not have a title, and will premiere the same weekend as Godzilla vs. Kong and The Spongebob Movie. Hopefully this doesn’t delay Fast 9 any further, though, because we really need to know if the team is heading to outer space.
