Fast X: Tyrese confirms when we'll get a trailer

 With filming for "Fast X" completed since August, we now know when we'll get a trailer according series regular Tyrese Gibson. 

Gibson spoke with ET's Kevin Frazier backstage at Byron Allen's TheGrio Awards in Beverly Hills on Sunday, and revealed that fans will get a good look at the action-packed Fast X in just a few months.

"This might be an exclusive, and I hope I don't piss nobody off, but the Super Bowl is gonna have the world premiere of the [Fast X] trailer," Gibson shared. "And it's going to be much longer of a trailer than usual!"

Super Bowl LVII will be kicking off on Feb. 12, so fans have less than four months before getting a look at all the long-awaited and star-studded action of the forthcoming film.

So I'm excited!" Gibson shared. "Jason Momoa, Jason Statham, Vin [Diesel]. Just too much magic!"

"I actually just watched the movie, four days ago," Gibson added, "and it's crazy. That's all I can say, man."

Apart from, Diesel, Gibson and Statham returning, we'll also expect to see the returns of Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Ludacris, John Cena, Sung Kang, Nathalie Emmanuel, Scott Eastwood, Helen Mirren and Charlize Theron with Momoa, Brie Larson and Alan Ritchson joining the cast with a release date of May 19th, 2023.

2023: The Year of Statham

 In recent years, Jason Statham has become one of Hollywood's most bankable action stars, starring in action-driven films like "The Mechanic" (2011) and its sequel in 2016, The Expendables franchise, "The Meg" (2018), "Spy" (2015) and "Wrath of Man" (2021). He is also part of the "Fast & Furious" franchise appearing in five, soon to be in 6 of the soon-to-be-10 movies. But in 2013, he will be starring in four movies and these include "The Meg 2:The Trench", "The Expendables 4", "Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre" and of course "Fast X"

The Expendables 4 will se Statham returning alongside Sylvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren and Randy Couture as the infamous mercenary team with Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, Tony Jaa, Megan Fox, Iko Uwais and Andy Garcia joining the cast. This film is said to be Stallone's send-off from the series allowing Statham to potentially take over. Will be released on September 22nd, 2023.

"Operation Fortune" will be the fifth collaboration between Statham and director Guy Ritchie. The film is said to involve around Statham's MI6 agent and his team of operatives recruit one of Hollywood's big movie stars to stop a billionaire arms dealer from selling a deadly weapons technology that could threaten the world order. Along side Statham,  Aubrey Plaza, Josh Hartnett, Bugzy Malone, Hugh Grant and Cary Elwes will round out the cast. Initially the movie was set to be released in March 2022, but was pulled, apparently because of the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, thus speculating it's because there are Ukrainian baddies in the film.

The first movie was a surprise hit and the studio wanted to a sequel with Ben Wheatley in the director's chair, Statham also reprises his role as Jonas from the first movie, no plot details though.

Lastly there is "Fast X" which will see Statham reprise his role as Deckard Shaw. His involvement was teased in the Post-Credit Scene of the last movie which see him come face-to-face with Han (Sung Kang), the man who he thought he had killed. In June 2022, his involvement was further teased by cast member Tyrese Gibson, but it's unclear if his role will be as large as the film will have a large cast including Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, John Cena, Gibson, Ludacris, Jordana Brewster, Nathalie Emmanuel, Kang, Scott Eastwood, Jason Momoa, Helen Mirren, Brie Larson, Alan Ritchson, Rita Moreno and Charlize Theron.

Fast X: Cast Recap

 Returning

Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto: Diesel will be back behind the wheel, leading his team to mew places and saving the world from Cipher for the third time

Michelle Rodriguez as Letty Ortiz: Rodriguez has stated that production went well after Justin Lin's departure and has since praised director Louis Letterer for his direction and wrapped her scenes in July 2022.

Tyrese Gibson as Roman Pearce: Gibson has stated the series will return to the roots of the first movie

Chris 'Ludacris' Bridges as Tej Parker

Jordana Brewster as Mia Toretto O'Conner: Initially, Brewster was excluded from the original script of "Fast X", but her involvement was saved by Diesel at the last minute.

John Cena as Jakob Toretto: Cena's involvement was confirmed way back in June 2022, in which he was photographed with co-star Jason Momoa and was photographed again (along with Scott Eastwood) in August 2022 in Los Angeles.

Nathalie Emmanuel as Ramsey: Emmanuel has since stated that Ramsey will be more involved and expanded upon in the upcoming sequel

Sung Kang as Han Lue: The snack eating member of Dom's team is back after his return in "F9" and it seems like he has some unfinished business.

Scott Eastwood as Little Nobody: Eastwood was confirmed way back in May, but did not begin filming his scenes until late-July of this year so I guess his character got a promotion since Kurt Russell is so far not in the film. He is said to be involved in a highway scene that involves Diesel, Brie Larson, Jason Momoa and Alan Ritchson.

Jason Statham as Deckard Shaw: His involvement was most recently confirmed by Tyrese Gibson on Instagram back in June, so his situation with Han will likely be resolved, not sure if he'll have an extended cameo or large role.

Charlize Theron as Cipher: The evil mastermind is back, Theron had wrapped her scenes way back in July, to film another project, but she'll be teaming with Momoa for the upcoming sequel.

Helen Mirren as Queenie Shaw: The legend is back, her involvement was confirmed by Diesel in July 2022, hopefully she'll have another scene with her on-screen son Statham.

Cardi B as Leysa: Diesel had confirmed that Cardi B would be back in June 2021, however no sign of her on set (as of yet)

New Cast Members

Jason Momoa as the main villain: Momoa will be teaming up with Theron's Cipher and has described his villain as flamboyant and like a peacock, so this will be a completely different role for Momoa.

Brie Larson as Tess: Larson had recently confirmed her character name as Tess, but no other details whether she's a new ally or enemy, but one could assume that she could be the sister of Brian O'Conner

Alan Ritchson as Agent Aimes: Ritchson's role is said to be a substantial one as he filmed his scenes from May to August and has been seen in a few videos with cast member Vin Diesel, so we can assume that he will be a new ally.

Daniela Melchoir: This is a tricky one, but it seems that she'll be another ally to Dom and co.

Rita Moreno: The legendary actress will be playing the grandmother of the Toretto siblings

Fast X: What actors appeared in Comic Book Movies

 

Vin Diesel: Played Groot in the "Marvel Cinematic Universe", was considered to play Daredevil in the 2000s and had expressed interest in playing Black Bolt in "The Inhumans" movie before it was scrapped

Set pics, casting confirmations and updates

 I have been out of action for the last few weeks but here are a bunch of new set images. From the images, first is one from a video from Vin's IG account that features Alan Ritchson, who is wearing some stealth gear assuming that he's working alongside Dom and crew, the second one confirms that John Cena, who is pictured with Momoa, will be reprising his role as Jakob in the upcoming, the next one is from another video from Vin's IG account that veteran actress Rita Moreno will playing the Toretto grandmother, which is interesting and the last one confirms that Jason Statham will be back in the main series.

Charlize Theron is said to have finished shooting her scenes as she is preparing to film a sequel to 2020's "Old Guard", as for Scott Eastwood, he is currently filming a movie in Greece with Jamie Foxx and Robert DeNiro which is set to wrap in July, however it's unclear whether he shot his scenes at the beginning or he will film later, which is likely, so he could have a role similar to Han in "F9". I would doubt that he shot anything before Lin departed and was already in Greece when Louis Letterer was brought on board.  

Fast X: Cast and Theories

 

The cast for "Fast X" is jam-packed with several returning cast members and a lot of exciting newcomers, the only cast member that we don't expect to return is Dwayne Johnson's Luke Hobbs. We're going to have a look at where each cast member stand.

Returning cast members:

Here's which returning cast members are confirmed.

Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto

Michelle Rodriguez as Letty Ortiz

Jordana Brewster as Mia Toretto O'Conner

Tyrese Gibson as Roman Pearce

Ludacris as Tej Parker

Nathalie Emmanuel as Ramsey

Sung Kang as Han Lue

Scott Eastwood as Eric Reisner/Little Nobody: Eastwood's return is a big one to us, he was a welcome addition to the team in "The Fate of the Furious" and his interactions with the character was just too good to miss. No word on how big his role is, but we can expect it to be as the character worked with Kurt Russell's Mr. Nobody, who's whereabouts in the franchise remains a big mystery. Hopefully Eastwood gets involved in the action.

Charlize Theron as Cipher

Michael Rooker as Buddy

Cardi B as Leysa

New Cast Members:

Jason Momoa as the main villain: Momoa confirmed that he would be playing a villain, mostly working with Charlize Theron's Cipher and will most likely have a fight scene or two with Vin Diesel's Dominic Toretto.

Brie Larson as TBA: We don't know who exactly Larson will be playing but from Diesel recent IG post, we could speculate that she isn't just a random newcomer and could be the sister to Brian O'Conner who was played by the late Paul Walker.

Alan Ritchson as TBA: Another actor in an undisclosed role but we could see him as a villain against Dom and his crew...or maybe he's another Hobbs' type character, hopefully we could get Aquaman vs Aquaman.

Daniela Melchoir as TBA: This one is hard to speculate but we could see her as a new family member, an ally akin to Helen Mirren's Queenie Shaw or possibly as an underling to Momoa's character.

Cast Members Yet-To-Be-Confirmed

Jason Statham as Deckard Shaw: We last saw Deckard at the end of "F9", when was interrogating a Russian thug about a flash drive that contains secret plans, which possibly has something to do with the plot of the upcoming instalment, he then heard a knock on his door and when he opened it, it's Han Lue to his shock, if he's back for the next movie, we could expect some sort of tension between him and Han.

John Cena as Jakob Toretto: The last time we saw Jakob was when Dom gave him the keys to his charger allowing him to escape from the authorities and his enemies, could Momoa be one of his enemies? Cena has publicly expressed interest in returning and joining the family as a full on member.

Anna Sawai as Elle: "F9" introduced us to a new character named Elle, who was the "key" to Project Aries and was being watched over by Han in secret between the events of "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" and "F9", however Sawai is yet-to-be-confirmed, she was last seen at the family BBQ.

Kurt Russell as Mr. Nobody: The current whereabouts of the suave government agent are unknown however with Eastwood's return, that loose end could hopefully be tied up.

Helen Mirren as Queenie Shaw: We saw her get a moment to drive in "F9", and Mirren has openly expressed interest in returning behind the wheel.

Lucas Black as Sean Boswell: We last saw Sean at the family BBQ with the rest of the family, however he is yet to be confirmed to be returning. "F9" gave him a supporting role aiding both Roman and Tej into destroying the satellite in space. Black had signed for three more movies when he returned to the role in "Furious 7", he missed out on "The Fate of the Furious" due to being committed to the show "NCIS: New Orleans", in which he left in 2019 so he could return to the franchise. Along with Black, we are waiting on confirmation on both Shad Moss' Twinkie and Jason Tobin's Earl.

Luke Evans as Owen Shaw: We last saw Owen in "The Fate of the Furious" when he was infiltrating Cipher's plane with his brother Deckard. However we haven't seen the last of him, we believe that the character's return would be a big one as we would think Han could see Owen being the one responsible for the loss of his lover Gisele (Gal Gadot), we also think that Cipher could have manipulated him once again, giving Deckard the choice to kill his brother or join him. 

Fast X: First Look at Brie Larson, could she be playing Brian's sister?

 

Vin Diesel recently took to his Instagram, posting an image of himself and Brie Larson during filming of "Fast X", the tenth instalment of Universal's fats-moving franchise which reunites it's core cast members with some new players. Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, Nathalie Emmanuel, Sung Kang, Scott Eastwood and Charlize Theron are all returning while newcomers Larson, Jason Momoa, Daniela Melchoir and Alan Ritchson round out the new cast. 

The upcoming sequel recently hit a snag when it's director Justin Lin, who directed the third, fourth, fifth, sixth and ninth movies exited the project a week into filming over "creative differences", later to be replaced by "The Incredible Hulk" director Louis Letterier. The script is from Lin and Dan Mazeau and is the first of a two-part closer for the franchise's main narrative story. Character and plot details are being kept under wraps, while it has been confirmed that Momoa is the film's villain alongside Theron's Cipher, Larson's character remains a mystery.

In his Instagram post, which suggests that there is family link, Diesel wrote the following "There are some people you will meet in life.... That will change you, change your family... change the world, FOREVER!", which also suggests that Larson is more than a random newcomer.

It has been speculated that Larson's new character is the sister to Brian O'Conner, who was played by the late Paul Walker in six of the "Fast" movies. No such character has appeared or been hinted in the movies, but it's entirely possible that could be the case. Walker died in a car accident in 2013 and the franchise has worked to keep his memory alive ever since. Walker's character was not killed-off but retired after 2015's "Furious 7", but the character's presence still exists in the franchise after that. His brother Cody Walker helped stand in for him to finish "Furious 7". However it's unclear if he'll be involved in the upcoming tenth instalment.
