It has already been confirmed by "Fast X" director Louis Leterrier that the film will end on a cliffhanger. Speaking with Empire Magazine (via Digital Spy) the director said, "This one is big. You know, I don't want to oversell it, but what we're planning on the next one is just gigantic, in terms of action, scope, and emotion. You will feel all the feels. Tears will roll." Based on the audience's recent exposure to a major franchise culminating in a two-part finale, "Fast X" is almost guaranteed to have an "Avengers: Infinity War" level conclusion.
Of course, the new movie is not going to copy the aforementioned film by having half of the heroes turn to dust, however, fans should still prepare themselves for tragedy. And while you may be wondering why this sad ending is on a list of theories we want to come true, it is worth considering the payoff. Movies that conclude on a disastrous or dramatic note — like "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back" — are often the most celebrated and memorable. Meanwhile, the inevitable victory that follows in the subsequent film holds more weight thanks to the loss that came before. Without the tragic end of "Infinity War," there is no triumphant re-emergence through the portals in "Endgame" after all. It is safe to say that fans are in for an unexpected ending in "Fast X," and it won't necessarily involve a family barbecue with a case of Coronas.
