Author's Summary
Justin Lin planned a major twist for Fast X revealing Dante as Little Brian's father instead of Dom, but left due to creative clashes with Vin Diesel, leading to a full rewrite. (148 characters)
Key Revelation
Director Justin Lin envisioned a franchise-altering twist for Fast X before departing early in production. The planned reveal would have shown Jason Momoa's Dante Reyes as the true father of Little Brian, not Dominic Toretto. This shift aimed to challenge Dom's core family values dramatically.
Production Changes
The film underwent significant rewrites after Louis Leterrier replaced Lin amid rising tensions with star Vin Diesel and producer Samantha Vincent. Lin's version included a bold cliffhanger focused on this paternity secret. Diesel's preferences ultimately prevailed, dropping the dark twist.
Disputed Finale
Lin also proposed an over-the-top ending with Dante piloting a massive excavator-like machine to devour cars, evoking Transformers style chaos. Universal rejected it for being too costly and mismatched. Second-unit director Alexander Witt noted it felt out of place for the movie.
"Several drafts of the screenplay also hinged on a jaw-dropping twist in which Dante is revealed to be the true father of Little Brian."
