The 48-year-old action star has taken to this Facebook page to confirm his intention to make more films for the money-spinning franchise, which began in 2001 with 'The Fast and the Furious'.

Vin started his post: ''The fans of the Fast & Furious SAGA are the best fans in the world ... Since I became the producer in 2008, you have been with me every step of the way ... literally giving me feedback that proved invaluable. Thank you.''

Vin said he is currently making efforts to appoint a director and revealed he'll make another three movies.

He wrote: ''My producing partner Neal would love for me to just sign off on a director, but this is too special a franchise, so these matters have to be very carefully handled. To be clear, NO ONE has been offered to helm Fast 8 yet ... let alone seen a script.

''Universal has been so good to me and so trusting of the vision ... they have been like family ... I promised the studio I would deliver one last Trilogy to end the saga.

''I will announce the directors on my next post ...(sic)''
