🎬 Fast X: Part 2 – The Final Lap (2025) marks the explosive conclusion to the Fast & Furious saga, delivering an emotional and action-packed finale that ties together over two decades of high-speed storytelling.
💰 Budget:
With a reported production budget of $340 million, The Final Lap stands as one of the most expensive entries in the franchise and one of the highest-budgeted films of all time. The budget covered a global filming schedule (including Brazil, Italy, and Los Angeles), cutting-edge visual effects, and the recreation of Paul Walker’s character Brian O’Conner using advanced CGI and AI voice modeling—with full approval from his family. Additionally, the ensemble cast’s salaries—including Vin Diesel, Jason Momoa, Michelle Rodriguez, and Dwayne Johnson—contributed heavily to costs.
