Vin Diesel Teases 'Fast X' Trailer With Dramatic Poster Reveal
They’re not pumping the brakes just yet. Fast X will be the second-to-last film in the blockbuster franchise, and Dominic Toretto’s next adventure is set to be one of the biggest so far.
“Just wait for 10,” Vin Diesel, who plays Dom, said in a January 2021 interview with Entertainment Weekly. “Let’s just say, the fact that you guys know that the studio is saying we can’t cover all this ground that needs to be covered in just one movie, you can only imagine what is to come.”
The ninth installment, which was released in June 2021, found Dom going up against his estranged brother, Jakob (John Cena), who was trying to steal a machine powerful enough to hack into every computerized weapons system in the world.
The complicated plan to stop the cyber attack took some team members to the International Space Station, but eventually Dom, his wife Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) and their team — including Mia (Jordana Brewster), Roman (Tyrese Gibson), Tej (Ludacris) and Ramsey (Nathalie Emmanuel) — stopped the evil plan. However, they let Jakob get away.
While Jakob could return to cause trouble, fans know for sure that Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) will stir the pot in the 2023 sequel.
The F9 post-credits scene gave audiences a look at Shaw, who wasn’t in the rest of the film. In the clip, he had a man trapped inside a punching bag. The victim offered plans that Shaw was looking for, but the villain said he already has the details he needed. Someone then knocked on the door, so Shaw shoved the guy back into the punching bag and answered the door to see Mr. Nobody’s (Kurt Russell) new ally Han (Sung Kang), who is clearly shocked that Shaw is alive.
The ending didn’t just leave moviegoers with questions. The actors wanted to know more too. After all, where can the story go when the last film sent two characters to space?
“I have definitely asked some questions about 10 and 11,” Gibson told Collider in June 2021.
The Masked Singer contestant added that they’ll have to meet fans’ high expectations. “We all carry a particular torch of responsibility and knowing there is a beast, and we need to feed that beast and give them what they want, what they love, and what they’re used to,” he said.

In March 2022, Momoa confirmed that he's playing the villain in Fast 10. "It's fun. I get to play the bad guy, which I haven't gotten to do for a while," the actor told Entertainment Tonight. "Now, I get to be the bad boy. A very flamboyant bad boy." Richard Young/Shutterstock
While speaking about the "amazing, ornery [and] misunderstood" villain that he will play in FF10, Momoa revealed that he will be filming alongside Charlize Theron, who plays Cipher in the franchise. "I get to shoot with some really cool people that I have never — I get to work with Charlize first up, which I'm really excited about," he told Entertainment Tonight in April 2022. "She's amazing. Then I get to go to some cool places. [And] obviously, work with the whole cast." Shutterstock (2)
“Yeah yeah yeah… you see this angel over my shoulder cracking me up, you say to [yourself] ‘That’s Captain Marvel.’ Clearly there is love and laughter in this image,” Diesel wrote via Instagram in April 2022, alongside a selfie with the Room star. “What you don’t see however, is the character you will be introduced to in Fast10. You have no idea how timeless and amazing she will be in our mythology. Beyond her beauty, her intellect … her Oscar, haha is this profound soul who will add something you might not have expected but yearned for. Welcome to the FAMILY Brie.” Courtesy of Vin Diesel/Instagram
In April 2022, Lin announced that he would no longer be directing the 10th installment of the Fast and Furious franchise, though he assured fans he would still be a producer on the project. In his place, French filmmaker Louis Leterrier was announced as the film's new director in May 2022. Leterrier is best known for his work on the first two Transporter films, 2008's The Incredible Hulk and 2013's Now You See Me, meaning he has plenty of experience with high-speed chases and thrilling fight sequences. Rodriguez later praised Leterrier for the energy he brought to the set. “This Fast and Furious is the French Fast and Furious,” she joked during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in July 2022. “Our special effects team, all of the guys who are doing the fights, they’re all French. Our second AD is French. Our director’s French. It’s like the French takeover, dude.” The actress added: “[Louis] came with all this energy of love. We haven’t had that in Fast and Furious for a very long time where we get somebody excited who’s a real fan and who really wants to take it places that it hasn’t gone before. We’ve been at it for 20 years, bro. After all that time, you get jaded and kind of forget what you do it for [until] a director like Louis comes in and reminds you, ‘This is beautiful. Let’s go make magic.’" Gregory Pace/Shutterstock
In May 2022, Diesel gave fans a sneak peek at the first day of shooting for "an intense new action sequence" that features Momoa, who hinted that his character in the film is named Dante. "Too much fun," the Aquaman star commented on Diesel's Instagram post, which showed the duo joking around on set near a purple car. "The adventures of Don and Dante 😂😂😂it’s gonna be crazy."

In May 2022, Rita Moreno confirmed that she's joining the cast of Fast 10 and will be playing Dom's grandma. “It’s been my dream forever to work with Rita Moreno, and the fact that she’s here playing my grandmother makes my soul smile,” Diesel said in a video announcement shared via Instagram. The Oscar winner said she was thrilled to be part of the film. "I'm tickled," she said. "I'm so thrilled. This is gonna be such fun." Courtesy of Vin Diesel/Instagram
