Vin Diesel confirms the Spin-off of an important character from “Fast and Furious”

A week ago Vin Diesel said that together with director Justin Lin, they had in mind, a great idea to end the saga Fast and furious in installment number 11, but always leaving open the possibility that the universe continued to expand as happened with the tape of Hobs y Shaw. For her part, Nathalie Emmanuel, who appears in the latest installments, said that she would love a spin-off of only women in the franchise led by Lashana Lynch. Diesel seems to have half heard his prayers, because it will not be Lynch, but Charlize Theron and her character Cipher who will have their own movie. Vin Diesel confirms the Spin-off to Variety in full promotion of Fast and Furious 9, which came to our billboard last weekend.

The news comes after actress Michelle Rodríguez, discussed having a better female representation in the first installment of the saga. The franchise has always had a difficult relationship with its female characters., since he has been criticized on more than one occasion, the way in which sexualized their bodies and characters. In addition, Rodríguez has always tried to fight because Fast and Furious did not put aside the evolution and new involvement of women in Hollywood, being herself the one who did not confirm her return for the ninth installment of the saga until they found a screenwriter who was a woman. The delay that the franchise takes to adapt to the times can be seen in the characters of Rodríguez and Jordana Brewster, as both interact with each other for the first time in F9, 8 films after appearing together in the first installment.

Vin Diesel confirms the spin-off, this project being the most interesting advance that the saga has made with respect to its women. This is how his co-stars Ludacris think in an interview for SiriusXM: “The girls need a spin-off. All the strong women in the movie. That is what they deserve ”. Nothing is yet known about Cipher’s solo story, but it will have to premiere sometime between this ninth installment and the last, If you want to scratch the hype that will surely generate the end of Fast and Furious
