Diesel also posted a Facebook Live video from the set, with Brewster stopping by to say hello to his fans. During the video, Diesel confirmed that Lin is directing the new movie, which will serve as Lin’s follow-up to Star Trek Beyond. It is also the ninth film in the Fast & Furious 9, which is scheduled for release on April 19, 2020.
“Justin Lin is so old school, he’s so part of the DNA of the Fast mythology, that while we’re on set today, the one person he wanted to be here immediately, just as he started to feel that sense of Dom, that sense of Toretto, that sense of the Fast and Furious universe and the responsibility of that… he wanted someone who is a part of the brotherhood, when you go past gender,” Diesel said in the video. “He wanted someone very important to be here, and it’s someone you all have been asking for.”
Diesel was also really excited to work with Brewster again.

Fast 9 will be Lin’s fifth movie in the franchise. He also directed The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006), Fast & Furious (2009), Fast Five (2011) and Fast & Furious 6 (2013.
