Fast X (also known as Fast & Furious 10) is a 2023 American action film directed by Louis Leterrier from a screenplay by Dan Mazeau and Justin Lin, based on a story by Mazeau, Lin, and Zach Dean. It is the sequel to F9 (2021), serving as the tenth and penultimate main installment, and the eleventh full-length film in the Fast & Furious franchise. The film stars an ensemble cast including Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Jason Momoa, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jordana Brewster, John Cena, Jason Statham, Sung Kang, Alan Ritchson, Daniela Melchior, Scott Eastwood, Helen Mirren, Charlize Theron, Brie Larson, and Rita Moreno.
With the 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, it is the seventh-most expensive film ever made. Filming lasted until that August, taking place in London, Rome, Turin, Lisbon, and Los Angeles.
Fast X is scheduled to be released in the United States on May 19, 2023, by Universal Pictures. Its sequel, intended to be the main series’ final installment, is also in development.
Premise
Dominic Toretto must protect his crew and family from Cipher, who now joins forces with Dante Reyes, the son of drug lord Hernan Reyes, seeking revenge for his father’s death.
Cast
Vin Diesel as Dominic “Dom” Toretto:
A former criminal and professional street racer who has retired and settled down with his wife, Letty Ortiz, and his son, Brian Marcos. In an interview, Leterrier described Fast X as exploring the fallout of Dom’s actions in previous installments, saying “[Dom] has fought so hard to keep faith and protect family [but] there is a price to pay. His enemies are coming after him”.
Michelle Rodriguez as Letty Ortiz: Dom’s wife and a former criminal and professional street racer.
Tyrese Gibson as Roman Pearce: An ex-habitual offender, expert street racer, and a member of Dom’s team.
Chris “Ludacris” Bridges as Tej Parker: A tech expert, mechanic, and a member of Dom’s team.
Jason Momoa as Dante Reyes:
The son of drug lord Hernan Reyes, seeking revenge against Dom and his crew for his father’s death during the events of Fast Five (2011). Momoa described the character as Dom’s foil, saying Dante is “very sadistic and androgynous and he’s a bit of a peacock… He’s got a lot of issues, this guy. He’s definitely got some daddy issues”. Momoa expressed a desire to play against type when portraying Dante, taking on a “less macho” character, and he performed his own stunts for the film.
Nathalie Emmanuel as Ramsey: A computer hacktivist and a member of Dom’s team. Emmanuel said her character sees increased involvement in Fast X compared to the previous films.
Jordana Brewster as Mia Toretto: Dom and Jakob’s sister and a member of Dom’s team who has settled down with her partner, Brian O’Conner, and their two children.
John Cena as Jakob Toretto: Dom and Mia’s brother and a master thief, assassin, and high-performance driver who once worked as an agent for Mr. Nobody.
Jason Statham as Deckard Shaw:

Helen Mirren as Magdalene “Queenie” Ellmanson-Shaw: The leader of a female militia and mother of Dom’s former enemies Deckard and Owen, and MI6 agent Hattie. Mirren drew inspiration for the character from her aunt (also nicknamed Queenie) and from her performance as Queen Elizabeth II in The Queen (2006).
Charlize Theron as Cipher:
A criminal mastermind and cyberterrorist who is an enemy of Dom’s team and is working with Dante. Leterrier described Cipher as the “devil” and speaking on her dynamic with Dante, Leterrier said, “They are bad news, but one is more afraid than the other. One is worse news than the other”.
Brie Larson as Tess:
The daughter of Mr. Nobody and a rogue representative of his agency who allies with Dom and his crew. According to Diesel, Larson drew inspiration from his daughter, Pauline, for the character; Pauline was named after series star Paul Walker.

Michael Rooker is set to return as Buddy, a mechanic who was a member of Dom, Jakob, and Mia’s father’s pit crew, and Cardi B as Leysa, a member of Magdalene’s crew who shares history with Dom; they both reprised their roles from F9 (2021).
