‘Fast X’: The past and future of the saga are defined in a trilogy

If you want to prepare well before watching the next one Fast and furious (Fast X), We recommend that you rewatch the fifth movie in the saga, Fast 5, available on the platform Stream HBO Max. Why should I do it? Because It will be the story that lays the groundwork for the new film arriving in Ecuador on Thursday, May 18. and whose protagonist is still Vin Diesel, as Dominic Toretto, directed by Louis Leterrier (Revenge of the Titans, the carrier 2).

In Fast 5, released in 2011, Toretto’s team (and family) had a risky and explosive encounter with Brazilian businessman and drug trafficker Hernán Reyes (played by Joaquim de Almeida), who hired them first, though they later had to betray him to save their own life and finally escape to their new life with that money.

But now, in 2023, Reyes’ son (Dante) has returned twelve years later to avenge his father’s death with a plan he has perfected over a decade.. That turn in history will be the ideal opportunity for it Jason Momoa joins the new movie as the antagonist that will even sue Brian, the 8-year-old son Dom was with Letty (Michelle Rodriguez).

Another face that will appear for the first time in the saga will be the actress Brie Larson (Captain Marvel), who will be the rebel Tesspresumably the daughter of the character known as Mr. Nobody (Kurt Russell). In addition, Rita Moreno (West Side Story) will give life to Granny Toretto.

While the saga’s most loyal fans will also receive their dose of nostalgia with the return of several stars such as Michelle Rodriguez, John Cena, Tyrese Gibson, Helen MirrenChris ludacris Bridges, Jason Statham, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jordana Brewster, Sung Kang, Scott Eastwood and Charlize Theron.

the fulfillment of a promise

Although for the general public the fact that a movie franchise stretches to ten episodes may seem excessive, the reason why actor Vin Diesel (who also voiced Groot in the recent Guardians of the Galaxy part 3) decided to keep this saga of action and speed alive because of a personal promise to the late actor Paul Walker, beyond economic motivation.

Walker, who was a founding member of the franchise with his role as police officer Brian O’Conner, who eventually becomes Dominic’s best friend, He was always very pleased with the reception the films received from public premiere after premiere.

So in a conversation shortly before Walker’s death (which took place in 2013), he asked Diesel how many of these movies he thought the industry would allow them to make. And Diesel answered that with certainty the real question would not be whether they could do them, but whether it would be seven, eight, nine, or ten. And then a giant smile spread across Walker’s face and he exclaimed, “’What?! That is impossible!”.

But later that same night, Diesel later revealed, the actors and close friends promised that they would reach the goal of 10 films and only then would they close the saga. So after Walker’s passing, it’s Vin who keeps her word. “It may mean nothing to anyone else, But for me, on a personal level, that’s the promise I made to my brother. So hopefully, if it’s supposed to be that way, I’d like to honor that,” the actor said years ago.

Days ago, there was also a rumor that Diesel decided to expand the end of the saga into a trilogywhat does that mean after Fast X, we could still enjoy two more movies. It was also confirmed that the model Meadow Walker, daughter of Paul Walker, will make a cameo in this tape, Well, he paraded with the cast at the Rome (Italy) premiere.
