'Fast X' Unveiled: Vin Diesel's Instagram revelation about the next Fast and Furious installment

"Fasten Your Seat Belts!" Vin Diesel Spills the Beans on 'Fast X'

"Fasten your seat belts." These were the words of an Instagram post by Hollywood's action star, Vin Diesel, back in April 2022, as he confirmed the title for the tenth installment of the Fast and Furious franchise, Fast X. Today, we look back at the past year and the subsequent hype that followed this announcement.

Unveiling Fast X

It wasn't just a title reveal that Diesel served up. Fans around the world were also thrilled with news about casting announcements. Fast X didn't simply promise more thrilling car chases but also an ensemble of old and new faces. Among the series regulars, we could expect the return of Dom (Diesel), Letty (Michelle Rodriguez), Roman (Tyrese Gibson), and Tej (Ludacris), plus the welcomed reprise of Han (Sung Kang) and Ramsey (Nathalie Emmanuel).

A Stellar Cast Joining the Fast X Line-Up

Brie Larson, who immortalized Captain Marvel on the silver screen, was added to the cast, as well as Daniela Melchior, known for her role in The Suicide Squad. The exciting newcomer to the franchise was none other than Jason Momoa, who promised an intense showdown as the villain in Fast X.

Notable Absence in the Fast X Roster

However, one familiar face seemed conspicuously absent from the Fast X roster. Dwayne Johnson, who had been publicly feuding with Diesel, was not included in the casting announcements. His absence ignited speculation, with fans and critics alike theorizing about the implications of his non-participation.

Nevertheless, the excitement about Fast X was palpable. The highly-anticipated movie was slated for release on May 19, 2023, under the directorial reins of Justin Lin, making his sixth appearance behind the camera in this high-octane franchise.

As we inch closer to the premiere date, we look back at this Instagram post that set the Fast X frenzy in motion and look forward to the thrill ride that the tenth installment of Fast and Furious promises to be.
