As James Wan begins to plan his vision for the next Fast & Furious film, he shared a bit of where he sees the seventh entry going. For whose who haven’t seen Fast & Furious 6 yet (and really, why haven’t you?), its ending sets up as a direct segue into the next film. Wan, known mostly as a horror film director, will be thrust into the franchise at the peak of its popularity following ex-director Justin Lin’s successful upheaval of the action franchise.

“Then there’s the drive of Number Seven, which was set up at the end of Number Six, which is a classic revenge story. I’m a big [genre] fan, so that’s how I’m approaching it: I’m looking at it like a gritty, ’70s revenge thriller, but one that still fits into the ‘Fast and Furious’ series.”

A finely-tuned revenge thriller would be amazing to see. Again, alluding to F&F6‘s ending, the revenge angle would help frame the film, as well as allow Wan to leave his own mark on the franchise. However, in saying that, a few changes to the established formula will have to be made. Perhaps the focus could move away from Dom and the gang and fully get behind the antagonist? However Wan crafts the film, I have confidence in the prospect of the film, the least of which relating to the actors attached.
