In November 2015, Vin Diesel announced in an interview with Variety that potential spin-offs for The Fast and the Furious series were in the early stages of development.[9] In October 2017, Universal Pictures announced a spin-off film centered around characters Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw and set a release date of July 26, 2019, with Chris Morganreturning to write the script.[10] Variety reported that Shane Black was being considered to direct the film.[11] The announcement of the spin-off provoked a response on Instagram by Tyrese Gibson, criticizing Johnson for causing the ninth Fast & Furious film to be delayed for another year.[12] In February 2018, Deadpool 2 director David Leitch entered talks to direct the film.[13] In April 2018, Leitch was confirmed as the director for the film and added David Scheunemann as a production designer.[14][15]
