Fast & Furious 11 gets a potential new tease from Vin Diesel, who recently reunited with a character from the franchise’s past. After the release of Fast X last year, Diesel is now set to return as Dom Toretto for one last ride. Fast & Furious 11‘s release date is currently scheduled for 2026, with the Louis Leterrier-directed film set to bring together a variety of characters from across the hit franchise.

Diesel now shares a new post of himself on Instagram with actor Devon Aoki, who appeared in 2003’s 2 Fast 2 Furious as Suki. Check out Diesel’s post below, which could be teasing a potential return from Suki in Fast & Furious 11:

“One of my favorite pics of 2024,” Diesel writes in his caption. “[T]wo decades for this moment…as we are in preproduction for the Fast finale, Pablo sent a message, Suki.” While Diesel’s mention of the upcoming film could be a hint of what’s to come, it’s also possible that the image and caption are just celebrating a meeting of two members of the Fast & Furious family, with no Suki return actually planned. Aoki posted the same photo on her own account, writing that her “heart is full.”

Devon Aoki only played Suki in 2 Fast 2 Furious before disappearing from the franchise. Why didn’t the actress ever reprise the role since 2003?

How Devon Aoki Could Return

2 Fast 2 Furious, notably, is the only film in the franchise to not feature an appearance from Diesel’s Dom. Paul Walker’s Brian O’Conner serves as the sole protagonist of the film, with other franchise veterans like Tyrese Gibson’s Roman and Ludacris’ Tej also appearing. Though Dom isn’t a part of the narrative of the 2003 film, it could certainly still work to have Suki return in Fast & Furious 11.

Some of the Fast X reviews criticized the film for having an unwieldy cast, but it seems likely that audiences will be seeing some familiar faces from the franchise’s past when Fast & Furious 11 releases. A core theme of the franchise has always been the importance of family, and Suki, despite being a relatively minor supporting character in the grand scheme of things, is a part of this extended family. Plus, Suki’s return, even if it’s just a cameo, could be used to honor a much more prominent character and actor.

Walker tragically passed away in 2013 during the making of Furious 7, but Brian remains alive in the franchise. Diesel has previously teased Fast & Furious 11 will feature some kind of farewell to Brian, and it’s entirely possible that Suki’s return could play a part in this. Many questions still remain about Fast & Furious 11, but Diesel is evidently hard at work crafting a compelling finale for the franchise.
