Hard to believe, but “Fast & Furious” is already in its tenth round! However, having grossed over $6.6 billion, the Fast And Furious franchise is slowly coming to an end. “Fast & Furious 10” or “Fast X” and the subsequent “Fast & Furious 11” should be the grand finale of the popular action series.
It goes without saying that Vin Diesel, John Cena and Co. unleashed a particularly unrestrained firework for the final chord of the franchise – and this is also underlined by the new trailer. It is also necessary that the big spectacle is central here, because ‘Fast X’ cost a total of 340 (!) Million dollars and is therefore almost 100 million more expensive than the most expensive part of the series to date (“Fast 8” with 250 million).
“Fast X” opens in German cinemas on May 17, 2023.
This is “Almost X”
Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) is unaware that his actions, going back years, have left a deep impression on the now extremely powerful Dante (Jason Momoa). He is now plotting revenge and wants to drive the entire Toretto family apart. A revenge story unfolds as all members of the original crew, as well as Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham), Jakob Toretto (John Cena) and newcomer Tess (Brie Larson) appear on the scene.
However, Dom soon discovers that he cannot protect all members of his extended family, as the vengeful rival will stop at nothing! Dom is faced with what is probably the hardest choice of his life: who will he save?
What a cast!
While French filmmaker Louis Leterrier (“The Incredible Hulk”) takes the place of Justin Lin, who jumped out during filming, the true thrill of “Fast X” is not behind the camera, but in front of it. Because after ten parts a downright gigantic star ensemble has gathered that will make your ears pop:
In addition to the established “F&F” family around Vin Diesel (“Babylon AD”), Michelle Rodriguez (“Dungeons & Dragons”), Tyrese Gibson (“Black And Blue”), Ludacris (“LA Crash”), Nathalie Emmanuel (” Deadpool”), Jordana Brewster (“American Heist”) and Sung Kang (“Shootout”), also include Jason Statham (“Operation Fortune”), John Cena (“12 Rounds”), Helen Mirren (“Shazam: Fury Of Gods “) and Charlize Theron (“Mad Max: Fury Road”) are part of the party.
But that’s not all, as new on board are “Aquaman” star Jason Momoa, who plays Dante, the son of Reyes in “Fast 5”, “Captain Marvel” star Brie Larson as Tess (Kurt Russell’s daughter played Mr. Nobody) and Rita Moreno, who appears as the grandmother of the Toretto children Dom, Mia, and Jakob. Daniela Melchior (“The Suicide Squad”) and Alan Ritchson (“Reacher”) are also new.
