The upcoming “Fast X” marks the beginning of the end of the “Fast and Furious” franchise with the film serving as the first of a two-part finale with the ‘family’ of Dominic Toretto.
With another entry guaranteed and this film by its very nature only half of a larger story, it comes as little surprise then that the movie could end on something of a cliffhanger.
The film sees Dante Reyes (Jason Momoa), son of slain “Fast Five” villain Hernan Reyes (Joaquim de Almeida), out for revenge with a sinister plan targeting Dom’s own son (Leo Abelo).
Out promoting her role in “Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves,” actress Michelle Rodriguez recently spoke with Collider about “Fast X” and calls Dante “the best male villain we’ve had in the entire franchise”. She then goes on to tease what’s coming:
“I think people are gonna be really, really surprised and we’re gonna get a lot of open mouths at the end of Fast X. Let’s just put it that way. It’s gonna be like, ‘Really? What?’ Like that! Like that’s how I was in theater. I was like, ‘Oh my god. What have we done?'”
The film’s director Louis Leterrier previously teased a cliffhanger leading into a final installment that is: “gigantic, in terms of action, scope, and emotion.”
We’ll find out for ourselves what they mean when “Fast X” hits cinemas on May 19th.
