Vin Diesel opted against starring in this year's The Fast And The Furious sequel, but he may be back for a third installment. Diesel reportedly met with producers about reprising his role as Dominic.
The rumor has gotten enough attention that star of both movies Paul Walker commented on it while promoting Timeline. "Nothing's definite -- you know how this town works. But the sequel did really well and rarely do you see a sequel reach the success of the first one. We actually did much better, so I think we'll go back and do a third one, and we're hoping Vin will be on board. It will be great -- me, Tyrese and Vin," the actor said.
The sequel didn't quite do better than the original, at least not monetarily. 2 Fast 2 Furious earned $127 million at the box office domestically while the first film grossed $144 million. But they did prove they could run without Diesel power.
Look for Vin in another sequel this year. He'll be back for The Chronicles of Riddick, a sequel to 2000's Pitch Black.
No word on a timeline for The Fast and the Furious 3.
