New “Fast X” Trailer Hits The Open Road

Universal Pictures

Universal Pictures has unveiled another trailer for “Fast X,” the tenth entry in the “Fast and Furious” franchise, with a clip that takes on a more solemn and reflective tone rather than the usual bombastic previews you come to expect from the franchise.

The relationship between Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto and Michelle Rodriguez’s Letty are front and center here in a film that serves as the first of a two-parter to close out the main franchise.

Over many missions and against impossible odds, Dom Toretto (Diesel) and his family have outsmarted, out-nerved and outdriven every foe in their path.

Now, they confront the most lethal opponent they’ve ever faced: A terrifying threat emerging from the shadows of the past who’s fueled by blood revenge, and who is determined to shatter this family and destroy everything – and everyone – that Dom loves, forever.

In 2011’s “Fast Five”, Dom and his crew took out nefarious Brazilian drug kingpin Hernan Reyes and decapitated his empire on a bridge in Rio De Janeiro. What they didn’t know was that Reyes’ son, Dante (Jason Momoa), witnessed it all and has spent the last twelve years masterminding a plan to make Dom pay the ultimate price.

Dante’s plot will scatter Dom’s family from Los Angeles to the catacombs of Rome, from Brazil to London and from Portugal to Antarctica.

New allies will be forged, and old enemies will resurface. But everything changes when Dom discovers that his own 8-year-old son (Leo Abelo Perry) is the ultimate target of Dante’s vengeance.

Returnees also include Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, Nathalie Emmanuel, Sung Kang, John Cena, Charlize Theron, Cardi B, Helen Mirren, Michael Rooker and Scott Eastwood.

Joining the series for the first time are Daniela Melchior, Rita Moreno and Alan Ritchson. “Fast X” will hit cinemas on May 19th.
