Fast & Furiousfans were shocked on Tuesday. Then it turned out that director Justin Lin resigned as director of Fast X. Lin did that just a week after the shooting of the film had started.
Lin only cited “creative differences” as the reason for resigning. “With Universal’s support, I’ve made the difficult decision to step down as director of Fast X, while staying connected as a producer.” He did not mention Vin Diesel in his post, which sparked speculation among fans.
Fast X-departure
The fact that a film director resigns a week after filming has started is never good news and makes fans not very happy.
They are now massively pointing to Vin Diesel as a producer and lead, who is known as a diva on set and clashes with people more often. Just think of actor Dwayne Johnson, with whom Diesel clashed in such a way that the two no longer want to be seen in the movies together.
Below are some of the reactions from fans:
This is from less than a week ago on the set of Fast X.
Vin Diesel looks like he’s holding Justin Lin hostage and he’s already thinking to himself “I have to get out of here.” pic.twitter.com/DIBY5qDL3h

Justin Lin X-its FAST X just days into production due to “creative differences,” though he’ll remain onboard as a producer on the sequel
In other words, what did Vin do this time? He’s not even MENTIONED in Deadline’s story. 🤐

There’s no good way to spin this whatsoever. The fact that they lost Justin Lin, A director who is synonymous with this series is a horrible. It’s a bad look for the producers. I’m willing to bet that this is Vin Diesel’s fault given he is a tyrant over this series 🤦 https://t.co/0eWo5fgDQb

The Fast & Furious movies would’ve never made it past 3 or would’ve been straight to DVDs movies that would’ve been sold in the $5 bin at Walmart if it wasn’t for Justin Lin, I hope Vin Diesel realizes that
