Vin Diesel has been playing Dominic Toretto for more than two decades, but he knows that the end of that stage is near.
When Fast & Furious XI hits theaters and, if there is no other turn by Universal, concludes the main saga of the franchise, Vin Diesel will have spent 25 years of his career playing Dominic Toretto.
Despite his absence in 2 Fast 2 Furious so that in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (Full throttle: Tokyo Race) only had a cameo, the saga has revolved around Toretto and his “family”, something that has generated many memes as a result.
But every saga must end at some point, and while fantasizing about watching Dom doing 10-second races with the nursing home stroller is tempting, it doesn’t look like we’re going to get there.
Vin Diesel will say goodbye to Dominic Toretto, but his career will continue. Although he has roles like Riddick and Xander Cage (xXx) waiting for him, there is also another who will take him away from crime and take him to the other side of the law to play an iconic police officer: Kojak.
Vin Diesel will play Kojak in the remake
As stated Screen RantVin Diesel is ready to give life to the iconic police officer Theo Kojaka role he played Telly Savalas in the original series from the seventies Ving Rhames in the 2005 television remake.
Kojak is a cop who doesn’t miss out on breaking the law to catch criminals, so he fits Vin Diesel’s approach and doesn’t completely clash with his typecasting as Dominic Toretto, although be it on the side of the law where the badge is worn.
The last time the actor played a police officer was in Devilthe 2003 revenge thriller, but most of his roles have been more focused on the “criminal” side of the law.
We will still have to say goodbye to Dominic Toretto in the saga Fast & Furious and see how Vin Diesel’s other roles progress, but it will be interesting to see him as one of the most iconic bald police officers in audiovisuals.
