Fast X is the tenth Fast & Furious movie, one of the most beloved sagas for fans of crazy action. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the franchise starring Vin Diesel has not ceased to amaze with a universe based on tuning and heists that has grown more and more. And now comes a new installment that will be the first step towards the end of the saga.
Many things have been said about Fast X: that it has the best possible villain, that it takes Fast & Furious action to an even higher level or that it is one of the most emotional installments of “the family”. But what do we have for sure about Fast X? Here we leave you with all the facts you need to know about the umpteenth installment of the saga that began A Todo Gas.
What is Fast X about?
First of all: how are the machines? The tenth Fast & Furious movie has a story that recovers one of the most beloved installments of the franchise, Fast Five, to tell a plot of revenge, resentment and psychosis through a villain that will give much to talk about: Dante, played by Jason Momoa.
But what exactly is the movie about? Fast X’s synopsis makes it very clear that, despite having all the classic Fast & Furious elements, it seeks to raise the bar and leave the road barren for an epic conclusion that, it seems, will take longer than expected to arrive:
During numerous more-than-impossible missions, Dominic Toretto and his family have been able to outwit, outbrave and outmaneuver any enemy that has crossed their path. But now they will have to face the most lethal opponent they have ever known: a terrible danger that resurfaces from the past, driven by a bloody thirst for revenge and ready to tear the family apart and destroy forever everything Dom cares about.
The aforementioned Dante is the son of drug trafficker Hernan Reyes (Joaquim de Almeida) who seeks revenge for the death of his father during the events of Fast & Furious 5. Thus, Momoa’s character seems to be much deeper and more convoluted than the usual ones in the saga.
Is this the last Fast & Furious movie?
Much has been said that Fast X was going to be the definitive conclusion for Fast & Furious, a saga that is already thinking about its end. However, this will not be the case at all… although it will be a little bit. Basically, the story it will tell will be the last of all Fast & Furious, but it will not be a single film, but will be extended over a trilogy.
“Without revealing too much, I can say this. In making this movie, the studio asked if it could be a two-parter. And after the studio saw the first part, they said, ‘Could you make Fast X a trilogy?‘ So, um…”.
These were the first words Vin Diesel said about the making of Fast X and the end of Fast & Furious. Despite being intended as the conclusion of the saga, plans were soon changed: first it was confirmed that there would be a second part of this same story that would close the franchise. And, later, a third part was added, which will finally be, a priori, the one that ends Fast & Furious.
Thus, we will still have two more movies to see what happens with the franchise. However, everything seems to indicate that Jason Momoa’s character will repeat and that he will become a kind of Thanos of the Fast & Furious universe.
