Universal has revealed the action-packed first trailer for Fast X, the 10th and penultimate film of the Fast & Furious saga. Fast X will hit theaters on May 19, 2023, worldwide.
The almost 4-minute-long trailer gives us a glimpse of what the rivalry is going to be between Vin Diesel's Dominic Toretto and Jason Momoa's Dante, who is out for blood - not only Dom's but his whole family. At the end of the trailer, they can be seen staring at each other while racing through the tracks.
Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his family have outwitted, out-nerved, and outdriven every opposition in their path over many missions and against impossible odds. They are now up against the most formidable opponent they have ever encountered: A terrifying threat emerges from the shadows of the past, fueled by blood vengeance, and determined to shatter this family and destroy everything—and everyone—that Dom loves for all time. Dom and his crew took out nefarious Brazilian drug kingpin Hernan Reyes and decapitated his empire on a Rio de Janeiro bridge in Fast Five (2011). What they didn't realize was that Reyes' son, Dante (Jason Momoa), witnessed everything and has spent the last 12 years plotting a way to make Dom pay the ultimate price. Dom's family will be scattered from Los Angeles to the catacombs of Rome, from Brazil to London, and from Portugal to Antarctica as a result of Dante's plot. New allies will be formed, and old foes will reappear. But everything changes when Dom discovers that Dante's ultimate target is his own 8-year-old son (Leo Abelo Perry, Black-ish).
Earlier, Tyrese Gibson hinted that Fast X would see the franchise "going back to its roots", indicating this to be a return to street racing elements of the earlier film in the franchise. Later, it was also revealed that a few cars from Tokyo Drift are also set to return.
Directed by Louis Leterrier and written by Zach Dean and Dan Mazeau, Fast X will see the return of Vin Diesel as Dominic "Dom" Toretto, Michelle Rodriguez as Letty Ortiz, Jason Statham as Deckard Shaw, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges as Tej Parker, Tyrese Gibson as Roman Pearce, Jordana Brewster as Mia Toretto, Nathalie Emmanuel as Ramsey, Sung Kang as Han Lue, Michael Rooker as Buddy, Charlize Theron as Cipher, Helen Mirren as Magdalene "Queenie" Ellmanson-Shaw, Scott Eastwood as Little Nobody, and Cardi B as Leysa. Alan Ritchson is one of the new faces in the film, who will make his debut in the franchise. Other new faces are Brie Larson, Daniela Melchior, and Jason Momoa, who is playing the lead villain.
Distributed by Universal Pictures, Fast X has a budget of over $300 million, which makes it the most expansive film in the franchise. Producers are Neal H. Moritz, Vin Diesel, Jeff Kirschenbaum, Joe Roth, Justin Lin, Clayton Townsend, and Samantha Vincent. The executive producers are Joseph M. Caracciolo, Jr., David Cain, Chris Morgan, Amanda Lewis, and Mark Bomback.
Fast X will be released in theaters in the United States on May 19, 2023, while its sequel (the final movie in the franchise) is currently scheduled to be released in February 2024.
