2 Fast 2 Furious (alternatively known as The Fast and the Furious 2[3]) is a 2003 American action film directed by John Singleton and written by Michael Brandt and Derek Haas. It is the second installment in The Fast and the Furious franchise. It was released in the United States on June 6, 2003. 2 Fast 2 Furious follows Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) and Roman Pearce (Tyrese Gibson) who team up to go undercover for the U.S. Customs Service to bring down drug lord Carter Verone (Cole Hauser) in exchange for the erasure of their criminal records. 2 Fast 2 Furious is a standalone sequel to The Fast and the Furious (2001), and plans for a second installment were developed immediately following the box office success of the first entry.[4] Early treatments for a sequel initially featured the returns of both Diesel and Walker, however, the former declined, instead opting to star in The Chronicles of Riddick (2004).[5] As a result of this, Universal Studios delayed the start of filming to allow for script rewrites,
