news culture Fast X: A character close to Dom (Vin Diesel) enters the saga
While Fast X won’t see the return of some of the stars who made the saga’s finest hours, beginning with Dwayne Johnson, the feature film will welcome a handful of new faces, including Jason Momoa, Brie Larson, and a little surprise.
Fast X introduces a new character
Vin Diesel is happy to share a few glimpses of the upcoming movie he will be starring in, Fast X. The actor, who plays Dominic Toretto, formalizes the presence of an additional actress alongside Michelle Rodriguez at the conclusion of the Fast & Furious saga.
As a matter of fact, Today we learn that Rita Moreno (Anita in 1961’s West Side Story) will play Dominic Toretto’s grandmother. Information that isn’t all that surprising given that the 2021 actor confided in Variety that he wanted Rita Moreno to play a member of his character’s family. A dream that has come true.
The arrival of Rita Moreno in the Fast X cast shows that Dominic Toretto’s real family just keeps getting fatter as the Fast & Furious episodes come out. Remember that Chapter 9 of the franchise had already highlighted Jacob, the brother of the hero played on-screen by John Cena.
Fast X, a film that has already changed directors
If the film is still expected in dark rooms on May 24, 2023, note that Fast X has already met some disappointments. In fact, a week after filming began, director Justin Lin decided to step down (after some creative differences with producer Neal H. Moritz) to make way for French director Louis Leterrier. If you don’t know this gentleman, you know that he loves to film cars from all angles, having made The Transporter in particular; a 2002 cult film starring Jason Statham.
“As a reminder, this new adventure offers us the opportunity to glide under the scorching Roman sun and, above all, the many inseparable members of our dear Dom’s (Vin Diesel) family, namely Letty (Michelle Rodriguez), Roman (Tyrese Gibson), Tej (Ludacris), Han (Sung Kang) and Ramsey (Nathalie Emmanue). In addition to Dom’s grandmother, there will also be new faces, starting with Brie Larson (Captain Marvel), Daniela Melchior (The Suicide Squad) and Jason Momoa (Games of Thrones, Aquaman).
