There's been a long-running joke that The Fast and the Furious franchise would get so crazy that the characters would eventually venture into space.

In a new interview with Sirius XM's "The Jess Cagle Show", Fast & Furious franchise star Ludacris talked about how the movies' creative team is using the downtime during the coronavirus pandemic to make the next few installments of the series as big and bold as anything they've done.

That led host Jess Cagle to bring up the 'Fast & Furious: In Space" joke - and surprisingly enough, Ludacris actually teased that space could be a part of the upcoming Fast 9.

That tease led Cagle to press harder, and once again ask about a possible Fast 9 space sequence: Ludacris didn't answer the question verbally, but the look on his face seems like pretty big confirmation that yes, Fast 9 will have a sequence set in space.

Would the Fast & Furious franchise feel like it jumped the shark with a space sequence
