The Fast & Furious franchise was met with a surprising piece of news on Tuesday, when it was revealed that Justin Lin has stepped down from directing Fast X. The film, which is poised to be the first installment in a two-part finale for the franchise, had just begun filming days prior, and the search for a replacement director is reportedly already underway. A new tweet from The Hollywood Reporter’s Borys Kit sheds more light on who that could potentially be, revealing that F. Gary Gray, who previously directed The Fate of the Furious, as well as Bullet Train and Atomic Blonde director David Leitch, are reportedly being floated as possibilities. That being said, Kit specifies that Leitch is currently lined up to direct Fall Guy, a movie starring Ryan Gosling, and might not be available for Fast X.
