Fast & Furious 8: What The Ending Of Fate Of The Furious Really Means

7. So, Dom Toretto Has A Baby Now

The most emotional part of the entire movie comes during the final barbecue when Deckard Shaw drops Dom and Elena's baby off at his house (because apparently, Dom just allowed him to transport their child back from Russia alone).

In one of the most obvious revelations ever, Dom names him Brian (because Elena revealed she'd only given him a middle name as it was a father's job to name their son for some reason), and the audience weep collectively. Or at least I did.

So does this mean Dom is going to retire? He basically insisted Brian should to concentrate on his family, so it would be pretty hypocritical. Maybe this spells the end of Letty's part of the team? Someone is going to have to look after this child, or he's going to hang over the plots of the rest of the movies like Ben in Friends - absent but confusingly ignored.

I really wouldn't be surprised if Letty will retire. Unless we see Roman being forced to babysit or something?
