Fast Five Is The Avengers Movie Vin Diesel Has Been Trying To Replicate For 12 Years

Since Fast Five was, in many ways, “The Avengers” of the Fast and Furious franchise, it is not surprising that Vin Diesel has been trying to replicate its success for the past 12 years. Based on a magazine article titled “Racer X,” the first Fast & Furious movie came out in 1998. With a budget of around $38 million, the movie performed fairly well, earning over $200 million at the global box office. This set the stage for three more sequels 2 Fast 2 Furious, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, and Fast and Furious, all of which proved to be profitable endeavors for the franchise’s creators.
