During the promotion of his recent movie, Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, Diesel said that director F Gary Gray is taking the film to a next level. In a report by Moviefone, he referred to Gray’s last film and said: “He is definitely going to get his comeuppance … He should’ve really been acknowledged for ‘Straight Outta Compton.”

Later he added: “I think he went into making this movie with a little bit of a chip on his shoulder, going ‘Oh, really? OK. Now I’m going to take the biggest saga in the world, and I’m about to throw Oscars at you.’ Wait until you see what he does!”

It is definitely uncertain to consider it as an Academy Award contender until we see it on big screens. As there are several types of Oscar awards like sound, visual effects, editing and other technical awards. Looking at the rest of the action-buffed stories of the franchise, there could be chances that the film could get an Oscar.
