USA Today got to talk to Vin Diesel and he revealed a little on the Fast and Furious franchise and why he skipped out on the XXX sequel.
The actor also might re-explore his drag-racing Dominic Toretto from The Fast and the Furious. Not in a sequel, but in a movie spinoff, but only if the story captures Toretto’s need “to be competitive and victorious,” Diesel says.
Why did he turn down the chance to earn $20 million plus profit points for each of two XXX sequels?
“The script wasn’t right. They changed writers. It wasn’t XXX to me. Two scripts were done, one by Rich Wilkes (who did the original XXX) and then another by someone else. I wanted the Wilkes one. That was the one I was excited about.”
