The official trailer of the sequel to 2017’s The Fate of the Furious, will be out this Friday
Over the course of nineteen years, Fast & Furious has evolved from a film series about illegal street car racing to a franchise about what’re essentially superheroes who save the world from mercenaries and cyber-terrorists.
The property’s ensemble has only grown along with its scale, adding Dwayne Johnson, Gal Gadot, Luke Evans, and Jason Statham to its universe while also bidding farewell to the late Paul Walker; who tragically died mid-way through production on Furious Seven.
The movie is also expected to do better by its women in general after Michelle Rodriguez publicly called out the Fast & Furious movie series for letting their female characters down back in 2017.
Fast & Furious movies will supposedly call it quits after Fast & Furious 10 which is tentatively scheduled for 2021.
