Fast X

It is the sequel to F9 (2021), the tenth main installment, and the eleventh installment overall in the Fast & Furious franchise. It stars Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto alongside an ensemble cast including Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, John Cena, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jordana Brewster, Sung Kang, Scott Eastwood, Daniela Melchior, Alan Ritchson, Helen Mirren, Brie Larson, Rita Moreno, Jason Statham, Jason Momoa, and Charlize Theron. In the film, Toretto must protect his family from Dante Reyes (Momoa), who seeks revenge for his father’s death and the loss of his family’s fortunes.

With a tenth film planned since 2014 and a two-part finale planned since October 2020, Lin was confirmed to return to direct with the main cast attached. The film’s official title was revealed when principal photography began in April 2022. Lin left as director later that month citing creative differences, though he retained writing and producing credits.

Leterrier was then hired as his replacement a week later and performed several uncredited rewrites to the screenplay. Longtime franchise composer Brian Tyler returned to score the film. With an estimated production budget of $340 million, Fast X is the eighth-most expensive film ever made. Filming lasted until that August, taking place in London, Rome, Turin, other Italian cities, Lisbon, and Los Angeles.

Fast X premiered in Rome on May 12, 2023, and was released in the United States on May 19, by Universal Pictures. The film received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for its action sequences and Momoa’s performance but criticism towards the writing. It grossed $714 million worldwide, becoming the fifth-highest-grossing film of 2023.

A sequel that reportedly serves as the final main installment is in development and is scheduled to be released in 2026.

Dom and his wife Letty Ortiz stay behind with his son Brian “Little B” Marcos, while the rest of the team, consisting of Roman Pearce, Tej Parker, Han Lue, and Ramsey, travels to Rome. A wounded Cipher arrives at Dom’s home in the middle of the night and informs him and Letty that Dante Reyes,

the son of drug lord Hernan Reyes, has turned her crew against her and is using them to target Dom as revenge for his father’s death and the loss of his family’s fortune ten years prior. The next morning, when Little Nobody informs Dom and Letty that there is no Agency mission in Rome, they realize the mission is a setup, and travel to Rome to rescue the team.

In Rome, Tej and Ramsey break into a truck which they believe is carrying the computer chip. However, Dante begins remotely controlling the truck, and Tej and Ramsey realize that a DM-79 sub-nautical neutron mine is in the storage. Dante activates the bomb and releases it into the streets.

Dom arrives and pushes it into the Tiber River, minimizing the damage, but Letty is arrested by the police. Agent Aimes, the Agency’s de facto leader since Mr. Nobody’s disappearance, believes that Dom and his team are responsible for the bombing and begins a manhunt. In Los Angeles, Dom and Mia’s brother Jakob rescues Little B and Mia, his and Dom’s sister, from a squad sent by Dante to kidnap Little B, and with Mia’s approval,

takes Little B to a secret location in Portugal, where they will await Dom. Mr. Nobody’s daughter, Tess, is convinced of the team’s innocence and uses the God’s Eye to find Dom in Naples, informing him that Dante is in Rio de Janeiro.

There, Dom confronts Dante and meets Isabel Neves, the sister of Little B’s late mother Elena. Dom later challenges Dante to a race, along with Isabel and his ally, Diogo. However, Dante wins while killing Diogo and injuring Isabel. Tess visits Letty at the black site and covertly wounds her to send her to the prison’s treatment center, where Letty meets Cipher.

They discover the black site is located in Antarctica and they must work together to escape. In London, Dom’s team turns to Deckard Shaw for help, through the convincing of Han after a scuffle between himself and Deckard.

Dom gets caught in Rio by Aimes but they both get intercepted by Dante on the same bridge where Luke Hobbs killed Dante’s father. Tess gets injured by a sniper and Dante steals the God’s Eye from Tess.

While Tess is taken to the hospital, Aimes joins forces with Dom to fight Dante. Dante locates Little B in Portugal and kidnaps him. As Dom is cornered by mercenaries, Jakob sacrifices his life to take them all out, allowing Dom to rescue his son. Dante again corners Dom and his son, just as Roman, Tej, Han, and Ramsey arrive by plane to aid Dom. Realizing too late,

Dom orders Roman to turn the plane around, but Aimes, revealed to be a double agent working with Dante, shoots down the plane. Dom drives off the edge of the dam they are on to avoid another trap, but Dante has the dam rigged with explosives and arms them, intending to kill Dom and Little B. In Antarctica, Gisele Yashar, who was presumed dead, emerges from a submarine to rescue Letty and Cipher.

In a mid-credits scene, Hobbs infiltrates an abandoned theatre with a team of agents where he is contacted by Dante, who tells him that he will be his next target for killing his father. Hobbs replies he is not hard to find.
