Universal Pictures has dropped the final trailer for the second to last film in the hugely popular ‘Fast and Furious’ series, Fast X. The end of the road begins on 19th May with the movie driving the franchise towards its climax. There is one more film to go in the series, though, and overnight it was confirmed that Fast X helmer Louis Letterier will come back to direct the final movie, too.
Here’s the premise for Fast X which, judging by the trailer, looks absolutely bat-shit nuts and seems to be balancing practical stunts and CGI well.
Over many missions and against impossible odds, Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his family have outsmarted, out-nerved and outdriven every foe in their path. Now, they confront the most lethal opponent they’ve ever faced: A terrifying threat emerging from the shadows of the past who’s fueled by blood revenge, and who is determined to shatter this family and destroy everything—and everyone—that Dom loves, forever. In 2011’s Fast Five, Dom and his crew took out nefarious Brazilian drug kingpin Hernan Reyes and decapitated his empire on a bridge in Rio De Janeiro. What they didn’t know was that Reyes’ son, Dante (Aquaman’s Jason Momoa), witnessed it all and has spent the last 12 years masterminding a plan to make Dom pay the ultimate price. Dante’s plot will scatter Dom’s family from Los Angeles to the catacombs of Rome, from Brazil to London and from Portugal to Antarctica. New allies will be forged and old enemies will resurface. But everything changes when Dom discovers that his own 8-year-old son (Leo Abelo Perry, Black-ish) is the ultimate target of Dante’s vengeance.
Vin Diesel is back alongside Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jordana Brewster, Sung Kang, Jason Statham, John Cena, Scott Eastwood, Jason Momoa, Helen Mirren and Charlize Theron.
The ‘Fast’ movies have remarkably made over $6 billion at the global box-office with multiple different directors over the years from James Wan to Justin Lin and the late, great John Singleton to F. Gary Gray. Letterier seems to have done an amazing job with this film, too.
The summer starts with this new one.
