THR reports that Momoa may be playing one of the roles in the film as an enemy, opposite Vin Diesel star Dominic Toretto. Universal Pictures has not reacted to this news. The upcoming 10th and 11th “Fast & Furious” movies will end one of the highest grossing franchises in the world. Director Justin Lin will be in charge, adding to his previous five films as well. news media
Along with Diesel, old stars Michelle Rodriguez, Sung Kang, Ludacris, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson and Nathalie Emmanuel are expected to return. Cardi B is also returning, who had a very talked about appearance in “F9”. During an interview for “Entertainment Tonight” Diesel for Cardi B who plays Leysa in “F9”, said that: news media
We are very excited about the evolution of her character and to include her until the finale. She did it on time. She came to “Fast 9” at the right time.
One member of the cast that will not return is Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. In a recently published CNN interview, Johnson addressed an Instagram post made by Diesel in November in which the 54-year-old actor publicly asked Johnson to reunite in the beloved movie franchise. But Dwayne called Diesel’s move “an example of his manipulation.”
I was very surprised by Vin’s last post. Last June, when Vin and I did not actually connect on social media, I told him directly and privately that I would not return to the franchise. I was determined but heartfelt with my words and said that I would always be a supporter of the cast and I would always express that the film was successful but that there was no chance of me coming back.
I also spoke privately with my partners at Universal, who were all very supportive as they understood the problem. I did not like that he mentioned his children in this post as well as the death of Paul Walker. Leave them out of it. We had talked about this months ago and reached it with a clear understanding. My goal all the time was to end my amazing journey with this extraordinary franchise like “Fast & Furious” with a lot of gratitude.
Fast & Furious 10 is scheduled to hit theaters on April 7, 2023.
