Universal has begun the promotional campaign for the highly-anticipated 10th film of the Fast & Furious franchise, Fast X. Today, they released the film’s action-packed trailer. Brie Larson and Jason Momoa lead a group of new actors and actresses that have been added to the franchise. Momoa plays a villain, Dante. Larson plays a new character, Tess. Other individuals new to the franchise include Michael Rooker, Daniela Melchior, Alan Ritchson, and Rita Moreno. Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Jordana Brewster, Sung King, Jason Statham, John Cena, Helen Mirren, Charlize Theron, and Scott Eastwood will return to their roles.
The trailer for Fast X showcases the danger that Dom and his crew will encounter in as “the end of the road begins.” Momoa’s character, Dante, is their newest adversary. Apparently, he has ties to Fast Five (2011). Dante remembers when Dom and Brian (Paul Walker) tied a bank fault to their Dodge Chargers and drove it through Brazil to get away from Hernan Reyes. Their heist ruined his life. After all, he is Reyes’ son. He has spent the last 12 years thinking of a plan for revenge against them. He wants to ruin the “Fast” family and make Dom lose someone he loves.
“Fast X” Trailer
Since becoming reunited with Jakob at the end of F9: The Fast Saga, the Toretto family’s patriarch has tons to lose. He is also raising his son, little Brian (Leo Abuelo Perry), with Letty (Michelle Rodriguez). According to Fast X‘s synopsis, “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 is the ultimate target of Dante’s vengeance.”
Larson’s character, Tess, is described as a “rogue representative from the Agency, looks to be on the side of the Torettos.” Also, “Captain Marvel” makes four Oscar-winning performers in the franchise (with Moreno, Theron, and Mirren). Richtson’s character, Aimes, is the new head of the agency. Apparently he “doesn’t hold the same fondness for Dom’s crew as his predecessor, Mr. Nobody.” Furthermore, Melchior is a Brazilian street racer who is connected to Dom’s past. The trailer footage also promises a major fight scene between Cipher (Theron) and Letty (Rodriguez). The film is to be epic.
