11 Best Dom Toretto Family Memes

Besides being the central focus of the Fast & Furious franchise, Dom Toretto’s love of family has also resulted in some hilarious memes. The character of Dom Toretto made his debut in 2001 as part of the franchise-launching The Fast and the Furious, and it was clear from the outset that his loyalty to his family was his defining trait. Played by Vin Diesel, Dom Toretto has become so well-defined by his penchant for family that the character himself has become something of a meme on the internet. Even without seeing every Fast & Furious movie, the character of Dom Toretto is still instantly recognizable.

Memes have long been a way for fans of certain franchises to express their love for their favorite movies, shows, books, and comics, but they have almost become a language all their own. A franchise like Fast & Furious has such strong crossover appeal that Dom Toretto has made his way into a myriad of meme scenarios even outside his original context. Dom Toretto’s full Fast & Furious timeline has opened the door for many meme-able moments, but the overarching theme of the character himself has always been the undeniable power of family.

No matter what exciting jam the characters of Fast & Furious find themselves in, it always seems as if Dom Toretto arrives at the perfect time to save the day. Echoing the harrowing moment from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, it isn’t entirely out of the realm of possibility that Dom Toretto would come to the aid of a friend, even if that friend was locked in deadly intergalactic combat. Dom has frequently used his deep family connections to rescue those in need, and the meme is exactly how Dom has come through in some of the most ridiculous moments from the Fast & Furious film series.

The best memes become unforgettable in their own special way, and Dom Toretto’s love of family is a meme that has embedded itself deeply in internet culture. Norman Osborn’s acceptance of Peter Parker into his flock during 2002’s Spider-Man was a bit ironic considering the Green Goblin would soon be locked in bitter combat with the Wall-Crawler. However, when Dom Toretto extends an invitation to join his crew in the Fast & Furious movies, it has proven time and time again to be a lifetime guarantee of loyalty.

9 Dom Toretto’s Takes SpongeBob’s Driving Test

In his decades on the air as a cartoon icon, SpongeBob SquarePants has been continuously vexed by his inability to pass his driving test. SpongeBob’s rather unique approach to driving has made him the bane of existence for driving instructor Mrs. Puff, and he actually has a lot in common with Dom Toretto because of his dangerous driving. There are many Fast & Furious missions where Dom should have died, and SpongeBob’s approach to the driving portion of his test is reminiscent of those death-defying Dom Toretto moments.

8 Dom Attacks The Death Star With The Power Of Family

On numerous occasions in the Fast & Furious franchise, Dom Toretto has plunged headlong into certain death all for the love of his family. Much in the same way that the Force in Star Wars is a power that relies heavily on faith, Toretto’s faith in his family has often shielded him on his deadly missions. While Luke used the Force to target the Death Star’s core, Dom would obviously use the undeniable power of family to approach the problem in a more direct and hilariously meme-able way.

7 Dom Explains The Family To Luke Skywalker

Though the two franchises are quite different, Star Wars and Fast & Furious are both the subject of many hilarious memes, and they are both governed by their own mysterious power. For Luke Skywalker, the discovery that he possessed the Force sent him on a galaxy-saving adventure, and for Dom Toretto, his wielding of the power of family was enough to get him through his many adventures in the Fast & Furious movies. In many ways, the family is a lot like the Force, and Toretto has been able to use his powers as effectively as Luke Skywalker.

6 Dom And Spider-Man Fight The Lizard

Peter Parker’s love affair with Gwen Stacy is one of the defining moments for the character, and the final climactic battle with the Lizard in 2012’s The Amazing Spider-Man proved he had been accepted into the Stacy family when Captain Stacy came to his aid. Much like Captain George Stacy, Dom Toretto’s loyalty is just as difficult to come by, but it is just as powerful once earned. The meme posits that Dom Toretto would go toe-to-toe with anyone to protect his family, and that includes the super-powered Lizard.

5 Darth Vader Slashes Dom With His Lightsaber

Perhaps one of the most protected characters in all of film history, Dom Toretto’s faith in family has been plot armor enough to see him survive adventures that would give even the most hardened heroes a run for their money. This Dom Toretto meme hilariously spins that idea on its ear and actually strips the character of his plot armor when he is faced down by a superior foe in Darth Vader. The best fights in Fast & Furious often show off Dom Toretto’s superhuman confidence, but his family wouldn’t do him much good against Darth Vader’s lightsaber.

4 Bruce Banner Warns Tony Stark About Dom

Bruce Banner warns Tony Stark about Dom Toretto in a meme.

The arrival of Thanos into the MCU presented one of cinema’s most dynamic villains, and the character of Dom Toretto is one of the few to rival Thanos in the number of memes produced around him. Mimicking the scene from 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War, Dom Toretto is cast as the Thanos of memes and his frequent overtaking of other popular meme formats makes that comparison quite apt. While Thanos was driven by his desire for the Infinity Stones, Dom is powered by his family alone.

3 Dom Doesn’t Need The Force When He Has Family

Essentially summing up the character of Dom Toretto and his best memes, it is entirely possible that his expert driving skills would have made him the perfect pilot to destroy the Death Star. In the Star Wars universe, The Force is one of the most powerful factors in the galaxy, but Fast & Furious has shown frequently that family is even stronger. Whether he’s taking on an international villain with his supercharged cars or plunging into the trenches of the Death Star, the one thing that Dom always brings with him is his faith in family.

2 Wanda And Black Widow Join Dom’s Family

The Fast & Furious franchise changed as it went along, and what was essentially a car-centric B-movie morphed into nearly superhero proportions. As such, a meme of Dom Toretto coming to the aid of Wanda in Avengers: Infinity War isn’t entirely unrealistic. Dom has often come to the rescue of his family, and the action hero of mythic proportions can always be expected to stick up for his friends no matter what challenge stands in his way. Though he possesses no superpowers, the power of family is enough for Dom.

1 Dom Leads The Avengers Into Battle

Loyalty is perhaps the trait that best defines Dominic Toretto in the Fast & Furious films, and that makes him quite similar to the MCU superhero Black Panther. While Black Panther’s loyalties lie with his nation of Wakanda, Dom’s are squarely focused on his family, and he has never hesitated to go to bat for those he cares for. Even if his early-2000s street racing car looks rather silly next to the Avengers as they charge into war, the Fast & Furious movies have shown again and again how powerful Dom can be when protecting his family.

Fast & Furious 11 Release Delay & Filming Start Date Confirmed By Director

Summary

Fast and Furious 11
is facing a release date delay to Summer 2026 due to strikes, with director Louis Leterrier confirming the sequel will not be hitting its April 4, 2025 date.
Leterrier also confirms that filming starts in Fall 2025 after finishing a horror movie in September.
The final installment in the
Fast Saga
reunites Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto for one last ride, while also leaving the door open for other spinoffs.

After facing multiple delays due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild of America strikes, Fast and Furious 11 is seeing its release date delayed. The next installment in the Vin Diesel-fronted franchise is expected to be the last mainline sequel, while development continues on the Dwayne Johnson-led spinoff Hobbs & Reyes, a mysterious standalone movie penned by Fast X’s Zach Dean and a potential female-led spinoff. While a filming start date was never confirmed, Universal had previously set the movie for an April 2025 release date.

During a recent interview with Collider at a CCXP MX panel, Louis Leterrier was asked for an update on Fast and Furious 11. The director went on to confirm that the final mainline installment in the action franchise will no longer be making its April 4, 2025 release date, instead now aiming for a Summer 2026 release window with the filming start date being set for this fall. Check out what Leterrier said below:

It’s happening. It’s happening very, very soon. I’m able to shoot a little horror movie this summer. I’m finishing my horror movie on September 15th, and I start Fast on September 16th.

Will Fast 11’s Multiple Delays Help Or Hurt The Sequel?

Much like the tenth film before it, Fast and Furious 11 has faced a few behind-the-scenes hardships in its road to getting off the ground, namely the delays stemming from the 2023 strikes. While the latest movie seems to have retained its core creative team in comparison to the shift in directors from franchise vet Justin Lin to Leterrier on Fast X after reported creative differences between the former and Diesel, this change didn’t seem to help much with the continued downward trend recent sequels have seen from critics. Check out how the franchise’s Rotten Tomatoes scores compare below:

Title RT Critical Score RT Audience Score The Fast and the Furious 54% 74% 2 Fast 2 Furious 37% 50% The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift 37% 69% Fast & Furious 28% 67% Fast Five 78% 83% Fast & Furious 6 71% 84% Furious 7 81% 82% The Fate of the Furious 67% 72% Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw 67% 88% F9: The Fast Saga 59% 82% Fast X 56% 84%

Even looking outside the Fast and Furious franchise, many movie sequels have found themselves hurt by various delays, be they from creative changes, general release shifts or other factors. The action genre in particular is one in which lengthier development periods can lead to diminishing returns, be it A Good Day to Die Hard, Rambo: Last Blood or Diesel’s own xXx: The Return of Xander Cage. While Fast and Furious 11 may only be getting pushed back by a year, the delay is nonetheless a concern that the final installment could find itself in trouble.

On the other hand, the longer wait for Fast and Furious 11 to close out the mainline series of movies could actually prove beneficial for the sequel. Though Leterrier may be busy with another project in the lead-up to filming the next installment, writers Oren Uziel and Christina Hodson should now have more than enough time to really look back at the script and ensure it learns from the critical missteps of recent installments to deliver a satisfying conclusion to the Dominic Toretto saga.

Vin Diesel Already Has His Perfect Fast & Furious Replacement Franchise With 51-Year-Old Remake

Summary

Vin Diesel’s dominance in Fast & Furious is ending, but Kojak could kick off a new action franchise for him.
Kojak’s reboot faces an uncertain future, but its similarity to Fast & Furious makes it a worthy project for Diesel.
Diesel’s potential shift from criminal racer to cop signifies a fresh start in a possible Fast & Furious-like series.

Vin Diesel’s days of playing Dominic Toretto are numbered, but the actor has already found his perfect Fast & Furious replacement. Diesel found a major breakout role in the early 2000s thanks to participating in The Fast and the Furious. The original 2001 street racing crime movie became the springboard for a sprawling franchise that has lasted for over two decades. The success of the Fast & Furious movies transformed Vin Diesel’s career, turning him into an even bigger star, especially in the action movie genre. But, Fast & Furious 11 is planned as the final chapter for him and the franchise.

The Fast & Furious franchise’s end will put Vin Diesel in an unfamiliar position of not having a major franchise to lean back on. This presents the actor with various options, such as changing the course of his career to pursue non-franchise roles. However, the more likely outcome is that Diesel will attempt to find a new IP that can replace Fast & Furious. He has had trouble in that regard recently, with franchises like xXx or Riddick running cold and Bloodshot and The Last Witch Hunter failing to launch franchises. There is another option for Diesel, though.

Kojak Can Be Vin Diesel’s New Action Crime Franchise After Fast & Furious
Diesel Has Been Developing The Reboot Since 2015

The impending conclusion of the Fast & Furious franchise means it is finally time for Vin Diesel’s Kojak reboot to get off the ground. The project was announced back in 2015 with Diesel re-teaming with Universal Pictures, the studio behind Fast & Furious, to develop a movie based on Kojak. The original TV series starred Telly Savalas as Theo Kokaj and ran for three seasons after debuting in 1973. The series revolves around Kojak, a New York detective known for being willing to go beyond the law and a love for cars and lollipops, and follows him as he investigates different cases.

Kojak was rebooted in 2005 as a TV show starring Ving Rhames, but it only ran for six episodes

Development on Vin Diesel’s Kojak movie has not been very active in the nine years since it was announced. However, it still maintains the base similarities to Fast & Furious, which makes the project a worthwhile endeavor for Diesel in terms of finding a new action franchise. He would now have another big action series about cars and crime, essentially making Kojak into a newer version of Fast & Furious. The irony here is that Diesel takes on the role of a cop after playing criminal racer Dominic Toretto.

Vin Diesel’s Involvement Can Morph Kojak Into A Major Action Franchise
Kojak Could Be A Fast & Furious Clone

Looking at the original TV show, Kojak might not necessarily project to be a major blockbuster action franchise akin to Fast & Furious. The TV series was relatively grounded and small due to the nature of its production. However, the fact that Diesel and Universal pinpointed this property as something they wanted to revive together is telling. The announcement of Kojak’s reboot came months after Furious 7 debuted in theaters and took the franchise to new heights at the box office and in terms of how ridiculously big the action and story could get.

It’s sometimes difficult to remember that Fast & Furious started off with a story about DVD thieves who were also street racers before Diesel helped turn it into something much bigger. With that experience and success already behind him, it would be understandable if a similar path was envisioned for Kojak. The series could then morph into a Fast & Furious clone, one that gives Vin Diesel a new franchise to headline and Universal a “fresh” action franchise to grow.

The Rock’s WWE Run Means Fast & Furious 11 Must Make 1 Major Hobbs Change

Summary

Hobbs from Fast & Furious 11 needs a gritty edge like The Rock’s WWE character to keep the franchise fresh and exciting.
The Rock’s time away from the Fast & Furious universe provides the perfect reason for Hobbs to return with a personal vendetta and a more savage attitude.
While Hobbs shouldn’t become a full-fledged villain in Fast & Furious 11, adding some edginess and dirty tricks could make his character more intriguing and dynamic.

Fast & Furious 11 must make one major Hobbs change after The Rock’s incredible WWE run. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s WWE return surpassed his recent movies, with the actor creating some of the best work of his career. Having returned to a thunderous reception, The Rock was able to flip the crowd’s reception by becoming a heel and playing a major part in WrestleMania’s main events. The Rock hasn’t played a villain on screen for years, as even his depiction of Black Adam lent more into the character’s anti-hero side, which made his wrestling run all the more refreshing.

While his wrestling character may not perfectly translate into the Fast & Furious universe, there is one aspect of The Rock’s WWE run that the franchise should attempt to implement. After debuting in Fast Five, The Rock’s best Fast & Furious scenes helped contribute to the movie series becoming so popular, with Luke Hobbs becoming an instrumental part of the story. He was even given his own spinoff alongside Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) and is set to get a solo movie in the future. Despite this, Hobbs would still benefit from adding one key aspect of The Rock’s WWE run.

The Rock’s WWE Run Proves Fast & Furious 11 Needs To Give Hobbs More Of An Edge
Fast & Furious Would Benefit From Hobbs Adopting Some Of The Rock’s WWE Tendancies

Given how electrifying The Rock’s recent WWE run was, there is no doubt Fast & Furious 11 needs to give Hobbs more of an edge. Although the character has had his more serious moments, like most of the Fast & Furious cast, Hobbs tends to mix action with comedy. Hobbs and Shaw are supposed to be two of the more stoic heroes, yet they are constantly at each other’s throats and cracking jokes to help maintain the franchise’s lighthearted core. However, giving Hobbs a grittier side would help the character thrive upon his return.

The Rock’s Fast & Furious return may redeem Fast X’s box office, but the character needs to come back stronger than ever. By allowing him to be more ruthless, he can still maintain some elements of comedy but also become more interesting in the process. Johnson proved that despite being a detestable heel, he was still as hilarious as ever during his recent WWE tenure. This proves that he can maintain Fast & Furious’ tone and humorous style while being more layered; therefore, Hobbs adopting some of The Rock’s WWE characteristics could make him even more entertaining.

Fast & Furious Already Has A Reason For Hobbs To Be More Savage
Hobbs Has Been Away From The Franchise For Several Years

Making a major change to Hobbs’ character could be tough to explain, but Fast & Furious 11 already has a great reason to make him more savage. His four-year absence from the franchise gives him a perfect excuse to come back with a vengeance and potentially have a personal attachment to Fast & Furious 11’s villains. Hobbs’ time away from the main story could be explained through a connection to Fast X’s secondary villain, Aimes. Aimes’ villain twist in Fast X was well executed and suggests he’ll be around for the sequel, which is the perfect reason to bring back Hobbs.

Having a more personal story with one of the villains could allow Hobbs to continue his great quips and one-liners, but it would also give him more of an edge.

Fast X never explained why he’s back, but having a personal vendetta against Aimes could be an intriguing reason. Given Dom and Dante are the focal point of the franchise’s conclusion, Hobbs returning to take down Aimes would avoid overshadowing the main story while still giving him an interesting role. Having a personal story with one of the villains could allow Hobbs to continue his great quips and one-liners, while also giving him more of an edge. This provides The Rock with the perfect reason to implement some of his heel traits while still portraying a morally good hero.

2:34 Image 147 Related Predicting The Ending Of All 13 Fast & Furious Characters In Fast 11 The Fast Saga is set to conclude with Fast & Furious 11 – or Fast X 2 – but how will Dom Toretto and his family’s stories come to a definitive end?

Why Fast & Furious Can’t Bring The Rock Back As A Villain
Hobbs Already Appeared As An Antagonist In Fast Five

Although The Rock’s villainous tendencies worked well in the WWE, Fast & Furious can’t bring him back as an antagonist. Johnson already played the main villain of Fast Five, as Hobbs was originally an enemy of Dom and his crew before becoming an ally. Hobbs’ role in Fast Five was one of his best, but despite being the main antagonist, he always had a level of integrity. Dropping all of this to make him a villain in the final movie would be completely unnecessary, especially as the franchise needs him to remain a hero for his spinoff.

Fast & Furious 11 may end the main story, but The Rock will be part of the franchise beyond this, and altering his character so drastically wouldn’t make any sense. Instead, adding some extra edge to his character would have the same effect and would avoid stealing the thunder from Dante and Aimes. Although Fast & Furious 11 shouldn’t make him a villain, the film can still allow Hobbs to play dirty and pull some cheap tricks in order to show a grittier side, while letting him taunt his enemies when he inevitably helps save the day.

Fast & Furious 11
is scheduled to be released in theaters on April 4, 2025.
