The film received mixed reviews from critics with praise for the cast performances (particularly Momoa) but criticism for its writing.

Plot

In 2021, Dominic Toretto and his team are requested by the Agency to steal a computer chip during its transit in Rome. Dom and his wife Letty Ortiz stay behind with his son Brian "Little B" Marcos, while the rest of the team travel to Rome. However, a wounded Cipher arrives at Dom's home and informs him that Dante Reyes, the son of drug lord Hernan Reyes, has turned her crew against her by threatening their families and is using them to target Dom in revenge for his father's death and the loss of his family's fortune ten years prior.[b] Little Nobody takes Cipher into custody but reveals to Dom and Letty that there is no Agency mission in Rome. Realizing that Dante set them up, Dom and Letty go to rescue the team. In Rome, Dante locks the team in a truck containing a bomb while Dom and Letty pursue them. The bomb is released through the streets, so Dom pushes it into the Tiber River to minimize the damage. Letty is arrested, and Agent Aimes, the Agency's de facto leader since Mr. Nobody's disappearance,[c] believes that Dom and his team are responsible for the bombing and begins a manhunt, attaching a multi-million dollar bounty.

In Los Angeles, an armed team arrives to take Little B, who was under the care of Dom's sister Mia. Dom's brother Jakob defeats the team and takes Little B to a secret location in Portugal, where they will await Dom. Mr. Nobody's daughter, Tess, is convinced of the team's innocence and uses God's Eye[d] to find Dom in Naples, informing him that Dante is in Rio de Janeiro. Dom confronts Dante and agrees to a race, where they are joined by Dom's friend Diogo and Isabel Neves, the sister of Little B's late mother Elena.[e] During the race, Dante tells Dom that he planted bombs in Diogo and Isabel's cars. Unable to reach Diogo, Dom crashes into Isabel to dislodge the bomb as Diogo's car explodes.

Tess visits Letty at a CIA black site and covertly wounds her to send her to the prison's treatment center, where she meets Cipher. They discover the black site is in Antarctica and agree to work together to escape. In London, the rest of Dom's team discover their bank accounts have been drained, so they use cash hidden by Roman Pearce to consult with Ramsey's associate Bowie to acquire supplies. However, Bowie reports their arrival to law enforcement for the bounty, leading the team to turn to Deckard Shaw for help. Initially reluctant, Deckard agrees to help them after learning his mother Queenie is also a fugitive for helping Dom. Aimes tracks down and arrests Dom, but his team is ambushed by Dante's mercenaries. Aimes joins forces with Dom to fight them, but Dante reveals that he has kidnapped Isabel. A sniper of Dante's wounds Tess, while Dante steals the God's Eye and locates Little B in Portugal. Dom manages to save Isabel as Dante escapes. Isabel promises Dom to get Tess to a hospital, while Aimes agrees to help Dom take Dante down. Dom's team is also informed and travel to Portugal.

Meanwhile, Dante manages to kidnap Little B and orders his mercenaries to stop Dom and Jakob. Jakob sacrifices himself in an explosive crash, taking out all of the mercenaries and allowing Dom to rescue his son. Arriving at a nearby dam, Dante boxes them between two drone-operated semi-trailers and prepares to crush them, while Aimes is revealed to be a double agent working for Dante and shoots down the plane containing Dom's team. Dom drives off the edge and down the slope of the dam, landing safely in the water, but Dante reveals the dam is rigged with explosives and sets them off. In Antarctica, Letty and Cipher escape the black site and trek to the coast, where a submarine surfaces and Gisele Yashar, who was presumed dead,[f] emerges to rescue them.

In a mid-credit scene, Luke Hobbs and his agents storm a former police station owned by Dante, who calls to tell Hobbs that he is the next target for killing his father.

His enemies are coming after him".[7]

In one early version of the screenplay, Aimes and Dante were brothers, but Ritchson was asked to film a scene with that plot twist along with the one used in the final cut that reveals Aimes as having been in cahoots with Dante all along, unaware of which version would be ultimately used but still playing the role in the same way as he felt that Aimes wouldn't care on whether he's evil or not as long as his methods made him felt like he was a good guy. According to Ritchson, Aimes was a creation from producer/former director Justin Lin.[13]
  • Helen Mirren as Magdalene "Queenie" Ellmanson-Shaw: The leader of a female militia and an ally of Dom as well as the mother of his former enemies Deckard and Owen.[14] Mirren drew inspiration for the character from her aunt (also nicknamed Queenie) and from her performance as Queen Elizabeth II in The Queen (2006).[15]
  • Brie Larson as Tess:
    The daughter of Mr. Nobody and a rogue representative of his agency who allies with Dom and his crew.[16][17][18] According to Diesel, Larson drew inspiration from his daughter, Pauline, for the character.[19]

  • Jason Statham as Deckard Shaw:
    A former opponent of Dom and his team, who became an ally and new member after saving his son. Deckard's younger brother, Owen, was hospitalized working for Cipher.[23]
  • Jason Momoa as Dante Reyes:
    The son of drug lord Hernan Reyes, seeking revenge against Dom and his crew for the death of his father and loss of his family's fortune during the events of Fast Five (2011).[24][25] Momoa described the character as Dom's foil,[26] 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".[27] Momoa expressed a desire to play against type when portraying Dante, taking on a "less macho" character,[28] and he performed his own stunts for the film.[29]
  • Charlize Theron as Cipher:
    A criminal mastermind and cyberterrorist who is an enemy of Dom's team.[6][9] 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".[7][30]
  • Joaquim de Almeida as Hernan Reyes: A ruthless drug lord and Dante's father, who was killed by Luke Hobbs at the end of Fast Five. de Almeida was digitally de-aged to match his appearance in Fast Five for the flashback sequences that take place during the events of that film.
  • Leo Abelo Perry as Brian "Little B" Marcos: Dom's son. Perry replaces twins Isaac & Immanuel Holdane from F9 (2021).[31]

Luis Da Silva reprises his role from Fast Five as Diogo, a Brazilian street racer who allies with Dom and his crew,[32] while appearing through archive footage from that film are Michael Irby as Hernan Reyes' right-hand man Zizi and late series star Paul Walker as Brian O'Conner. Making cameo appearances are Ludmilla as a race starter in Rio de Janeiro,[33] Pete Davidson as Bowie, a friend of Ramsey,[34] Walker's daughter Meadow as a flight attendant helping Jakob,[35] and Debby Ryan and Josh Dun (credited as themselves) as a couple in an airport.[36]

Production

Development

Justin Lin, who directed five films in the franchise, originally returned as director of Fast X.

In November 2014, Universal Pictures chairwoman Donna Langley said there would be at least three more films in the franchise after Furious 7 (2015).[42] In April 2017, producer Neal H. Moritz stated that the tenth entry would serve as the finale for the franchise with Chris Morgan attached as screenwriter.[43] In October 2017, Justin Lin entered negotiations to direct the ninth and tenth installments, after directing four films in the series.[44] In February 2020, Vin Diesel hinted the film could be split in two,[45] which he confirmed in an April 2021 press conference, stating, "There's so much ground to cover and so many places in so many locations that we have to visit" as the rationale behind the decision for a two-part finale.[46] Prior to production, Diesel announced filming would take place in Italy, stating, "I was asked, 'Would there ever be a Fast where you could film in Italy?', and I [promised] we would".[47] While Morgan ultimately did not return as screenwriter, it was confirmed he would serve as an executive producer on the film, alongside Joseph M. Caracciolo, Jr., David Cain, Amanda Lewis, and Mark Bomback.[48]

By April 2022, a new screenplay draft was written by Lin and Dan Mazeau.[49] On June 5, 2022, Tyrese Gibson announced Fast X would see the franchise "going back to its roots", with reports indicating this to be a return to street racing elements of previous entries,[50] although shared details the film would also continue to explore the history of the Toretto family in a "similar" vein to F9;[51] Leterrier later revealed the film focuses on increased familial responsibilities, saying, "Dom was always a lone wolf. He was living a quarter mile at a time [but] the stakes are real now. [He is] responsible for a human being, an innocent life [he] brought into the world".[30] Gibson also expressed a desire for the franchise to film in South Africa, stating, "me and Luda always had this idea [that] it's time for us to head to South Africa. It needs real estate in this franchise [because] it [has] a beautiful skyline with ocean. It's the Fast and Furious package".[52] Ludacris later stated his favorite franchise filming location was his home city of Atlanta, Georgia,[53] and revealed that he did not anticipate returning to the franchise after his initial appearance in 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003).[54] During an August 2022 interview with ComicBook, Nathalie Emmanuel said "the stakes are higher on a more personal level in this [film]", indicating a more grounded approach compared to previous installments.[55] In developing the character of Dante, Leterrier revealed they wanted to forge the "anti-Dom", saying, "[Dante] is the yang of [Dom's] yin, the antichrist of his Christ" and wanted to give Dante clear motivation with Dom's role in Dante's origin story, noting, "There are strong ties with [Dante and Dom] and that is what makes an amazing villain because you understand why they became this and [their motivations]".[30] Leterrier noted Larson's character as also being influenced by "the generational legacy of the characters", saying, "Everybody [in the franchise] has a different point of view on Dom and his own influence on their lives. And that's how she [fits in]".[30]

Describing the film's retcon of Fast Five (2011), Leterrier said it was to "explore the price of justice", noting, "[We] Rashomon'ed [the fifth film] to experience it through the eyes of Reyes, with Dom and Brian the thieves. We [wanted to] guide the audience to rethink everything they've experienced in the franchise [because] a good antagonist has their own truth, [separate] from the protagonists".[30] Leterrier noted the film touches on each previous installment, saying, "The snowball [of Dom's actions] has picked up speed and became an avalanche", and said his favorite film in the franchise is Fast Five.[30] Leterrier later revealed he performed several uncredited rewrites to the entire screenplay on his initial travel to the set, stating he lacked sleep for the first four days he worked on the film.[56] During the film's early promotional run, Leterrier said Fast X explores the potential breakup of family, noting "people are going to need to take sides [and] alliances will need to be made" compounded by "[the] war brewing" between the characters, saying "there will be some tremendous casualties".[57] He later confirmed the film will end on a cliffhanger,[58] and further hinted at character deaths, saying, "The beauty of the end of this franchise [is] understanding these characters will [not] live forever. Only in Westerns do cowboys gallop out into the sunset. This is different; the stakes even more than they've been before".[59] This was seemingly confirmed by Michelle Rodriguez, who considered the fan reaction to the ending, saying, "You're going to feel so cheated in a way, but then so gratified and excited about what's to come. After 23 years of [making films], it's really tough at this stage to shock me, and they got me good".[60] She reiterated this in a promotional interview with Collider for Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023), saying the ending[61] of Fast X would "[leave] people really surprised and we're [going to] get open mouths at the end. In [the] theater, I was like, 'Oh my god. What have we done?!'".[62]

In an interview with Collider, Universal Pictures producer Kelly McCormick stated the impact of COVID-19 and the production schedules of "our interfering projects" (like Fast X and its sequel) caused delays in developing the sequel to Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019).[63] Filming in Turin required the Film Commission Torino Piemonte, local authorities, and city councillors to conduct a five month planning schedule from September 2021 and January 2022, collaborating with the Departments of Culture to co-ordinate the city's major events, roads and transport, public, and security around filming requirements. Such planning included managing the overflight of drones and limitations on circulation made necessary for the management and safety of the set.[64]

Vehicles

Fast X is the first film in the series to feature electric cars, with leaked set photos featuring the 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Banshee Concept and the gull-winged DeLorean Alpha5. Other vehicles set to feature include the 2022 TorRed Dodge Charger R/T, the 2023 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye, and the 1970 Charger R/T, the latter a franchise staple.[65] On June 27, 2022, it was reported Fast X would include the fan favorite orange and black Veilside Mazda RX-7 FD Fortune, which first featured in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006).[66] The inclusion of the electric Dodge Chargers in the film was confirmed upon release of the first trailer on February 9, 2023, with the "Greys of Thunder" Dodge Charger Daytona SRT also appearing in other promotional material. In an interview with Fox News, a Dodge spokesperson said the company "has a long-standing marketing partnership with Fast & Furious", which will continue with Fast X.[67] Other vehicles expected to feature in the film include the foreign-made Lamborghini Gallardo, Alfa Romeo 159, Nissan Silvia, Porsche 911 997 GT3 RS, and the Datsun 240Z, as well as the U.S.-made Chevrolet Impala and El Camino and the 1966 Ford Fairlane.[68] In an interview with vehicle co-ordinator Dennis McCarthy, who worked on every Fast & Furious film since Tokyo Drift (2006), each significant car featured on screen required around seven duplicates, resulting in an estimated 200 cars built for Fast X to race-car standards required for the stunt work.[69] In April 2023, Momoa revealed that he personally contacted Jochen Zeitz, the CEO of Harley-Davidson, to secure six motorcycles for his character to be used in the film.[70]

Casting

Jason Momoa, Daniela Melchior, Brie Larson, Alan Ritchson and Rita Moreno joined the main cast for Fast X.

In June 2021, Diesel announced the film would be split in a two-part culmination to the franchise, with principal photography slated to begin in January 2022 and take place back-to-back.[71][72] In December 2021, Dwayne Johnson ruled out returning for Fast X,[73][74][75][76] although he would ultimately reprise his role as Luke Hobbs in a mid-credit scene cameo appearance.[39][40][37]

In early 2022, Jason Momoa was cast as Dante, the villain,[24] while Daniela Melchior, Brie Larson, and Alan Ritchson joined the cast by that April.[11][16][12] Larson was initially hesitant to join another franchise after the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), saying, "I was scared of what would happen to me [by joining Fast & Furious]. But what I always come back to is, I have to live with myself in a way that nobody else has to. The choices I make, I have to live with, whether I regret them or not",[77] but stated Fast & Furious was her "dream franchise", saying, "I've been begging to be in this for years. Being part of something you've watched your whole life and that you love is an amazing feeling".[78] In a March 2023 interview with Total Film, Larson revealed she would portray Tess, the daughter of government agent and covert operations team leader Mr. Nobody; she described Tess as "a bridge", saying, "she doesn't go along with the Agency. She believes in the legacy her father set up, standing with Dom and the Toretto family".[79] Describing Momoa's addition, director Louis Leterrier said Dante is "an incredible new character. It's 1,000 per cent Momoa",[80] while Michelle Rodriguez said Dante is "malicious but he can be playful. It's like a fresh energy. There's something charming about him".[81] She later labelled Dante as the best male villain in the franchise's history, describing him as "revenge with a smirk".[82] After being cast, Momoa was initially apprehensive over filming conditions due to reports of conflict on set between Diesel and Lin,[83] and said he accepted the role to play against type.[84]

In May, Rita Moreno was cast as Abuelita, the grandmother of Dom, Jakob, and Mia,[21] with Leterrier describing her inclusion as the "guiding light that Dom is following", adding, "[Abuelita] is his conscience, [she is one] of the people that keep him grounded. When your grandmother you haven't seen for years gives you a message that becomes guiding for the second part of your life, you listen".[30] In a February 2023 interview with Collider, Moreno's grandson said he pitched for her inclusion in Fast X after he met Diesel at the premiere for West Side Story (2021), which starred Moreno.[85]

On December 23, 2022, it was revealed that Gal Gadot, who portrayed Gisele Yashar in three previous installments, filmed a scene for Fast X; according to social media reports, she appeared in one of two versions of the film screened three days prior, with further details about the nature of her return undisclosed.[86] Gadot's potential return was met with mixed reception by fans and critics; some criticized the franchise's history of reviving dead characters to capitalize on star power, labelling it "ineffective" fan service which negatively impacts the previous installments and the story of the franchise.[87][88][89] Others were positive about Gadot's potential return, citing her portrayal of one of the franchise's most popular characters.[90] In a February 2023 interview with ComicBook, Sung Kang refused to rule out Gadot's character being resurrected in Fast X.[91] As the final cast rounded out, it sparked debate that it could create a story problem for the film; writing for Screen Rant, Ryan Northrup said, "With such a large cast, it's uncertain whether Fast X will be able to serve [every] character in a satisfying way. With many new and returning characters, [every] arc may not be as fleshed out [and if] new characters aren't given much screen time or development, [it will be] a disappointment. [It may be] up to the finale to rectify [it]".[92] A month later, a leaked email from the The Hollywood Reporter revealed some crew returned after principal photography had completed to film a "button or tag" (a mid or post-credits scene) that will feature "a guest cameo".[93] Gadot ultimately reprised her role for a cameo appearance in the mid-credits along with Johnson,[37] though Rodriguez and Diesel later admitted that Gadot had filmed cameos for previous entries in the series that didn't make into the final cuts, the latter feeling that "we have shot other things a long time ago that might not have fit that specific movie as a finale. Doing tags is a very tricky thing because you want your great talent but at the same time you have to be very careful to maintain the emotional state of your audience at the end of the movie. So that’s what you’re juggling".[94]

Following the release of the film's trailer on February 9, 2023, Leterrier hinted archival footage featuring Paul Walker from previous films may be used in Fast X, saying, "Brian is very much alive in [this franchise]. This [film] jumps back and forth between the past and the present. You will see Brian in the past, you won't see Brian in the present. [His] family is part of this franchise. It has to be the right moment, the right tone [if] Brian has to re-enter the franchise. [It must be] as perfect as how he left".[95] Regarding Walker's inclusion, Rodriguez said, "It's really hard to [make the films] without a blessing of some sort from [his] family because it's everything. Without that kind of like that love from them, we would be lost". She also revealed Furious 7 (2015) is her favorite film in the franchise, citing its emotional tribute to Walker.[96] Diesel similarly commented on Walker's potential inclusion in the film in a March 2023 interview with Total Film, saying, "[Universal] made a bold, righteous, and daring decision to keep Brian O'Conner alive. I couldn't image this saga ending without truly saying goodbye to Brian".[59] Several actors who were reported to be reprising their roles from previous films in Fast X did not end up doing so, including Michael Rooker as Buddy,[6][97] Cardi B as Leysa,[98] Don Omar as Rico Santos, and Tego Calderón as Tego Leo, respectively.[99]

Principal photography began on April 21, 2022, with the film's title being revealed and Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Jordana Brewster, Nathalie Emmanuel, Sung Kang, and Charlize Theron confirmed to reprise their roles.[6][9] According to Diesel, an earlier draft excluded Brewster's character, which he overturned. Fast X's production budget was initially reported to be $300 million in May 2022, which was revised to $340 million that November; the cast was reportedly paid $100 million for their involvement,[100] including $20 million for Diesel.[101] Other costs for the rising budget (which factors in tax-incentive offsets) included increases in production costs caused by global inflation and charges for pandemic testing requirements mandated by COVID-19 safety protocols.[102] According to unnamed sources reporting to Radar, Diesel reportedly "stressed" over the increased budget and the creative decisions in Fast X; sources wrote Diesel is considered by Universal as "simultaneously the greatest star [they've] had and their biggest headache" and that "[Diesel] doesn't let anybody forget [how] the Fast & Furious franchise is important to the whole [film] industry".[75]

A week after filming commenced, Lin exited the film as director due to "creative differences", leaving primary production stalled. However, Lin will remain on board as a producer.[103] Later reports alleged that Lin clashed on set with Diesel, who purportedly arrived out of shape, was often late, and did not remember his lines.[104] Lin was also upset with rewrites to his screenplay, as well as changing filming locations and one of the film's villains having yet to be cast;[100] a disagreement with Diesel reportedly escalated to the point it caused Lin to shout, "This movie is not worth my mental health";[105] Lin reportedly forewent pay in the region of $10–20 million in his departure.[106] Second unit production remained ongoing in the United Kingdom while the studio sought for a replacement director.[107] Universal Pictures reportedly spent $1 million a day to pause production.[108] Former Fast & Furious directors F. Gary Gray and David Leitch, who previously directed The Fate of the Furious and Hobbs & Shaw respectively, were considered by the studio to replace Lin, however neither were likely to step in due to their commitments with Lift and The Fall Guy, respectively.[109][110] Furious 7 director James Wan, who was once considered to direct The Fate of the Furious but declined due to his straining experience on Furious 7, was also considered a "viable option" but was tied with commitments to Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023).[110][111] Variety reported hiring an "A-list" director was not probable without drastic changes to the screenplay and Universal would likely turn to a second unit director "well-versed" in big-budget action films.[110] On May 2, 2022, Louis Leterrier was announced as Lin's replacement.[112]

Louis Leterrier replaced Lin as director a week after filming began.

Leterrier already had an established relationship with the studio, having previously directed The Incredible Hulk (2008), and he was knowledgeable about the franchise;[113] he and franchise star Jason Statham went to watch the original film in Paris in 2001 while on a break from filming The Transporter (2002).[114] Leterrier joined filming in London after scheduling and contractual considerations were confirmed;[115][116] he later revealed he initially rejected the offer to direct the film, labelling it a "massive" task,[56] although later used elements of Lin's original contributions, such as the established crew, as well as Lin's shot lists and storyboards, to complete the film.[106] Production in London concluded in mid-August, with scenes filmed at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden.[117] Rodriguez later revealed a fight sequence between her and Theron was shot without a principal director, being done while studio negotiations with Leterrier were ongoing.[60] Describing his style for the film, Leterrier said, "I'm more practical than other directors, and I brought [the franchise] back to earth", revealing he favored more practical stunts (including a return of racing scenes featuring a "vertical quarter mile race") enhanced with visual effects,[118] as opposed to largely computer generated placements in the recent installments.[57][30]

Filming took place in Genzano di Roma[119] in mid-May. Filming took place in Rome for two weeks in mid-May,[120] and one week in mid-July,[121] with scenes being shot at the Via Cristoforo Colombo, Lungotevere, Via dei Fori Imperiali, Ponte Umberto I, Ponte Vittorio Emanuele II, and the area around the Castel Sant'Angelo and the Spanish Steps.[122] Filming then took place in Turin between May 24 and June 6, with action sequences filmed at the Piazza Crimea and Corso Fiume, Murazzi del Po, Via Roma, and the Piazza IV Marzo.[123] Momoa began shooting his scenes on May 16.[120] Like previous installments, Diesel supervised writing and design of the film's action sequences; according to unnamed sources to The Hollywood Reporter, Diesel's creative control and frequent last-minute changes reflect "a process [which] is like a mosaic that doesn't stop moving", labelling him "demanding" and a perfectionist.[105] On June 6, it was reported a stuntman was injured in an accident after being hit by part of a car after an explosion.[124] On July 22, in an interview with Deadline Hollywood while at San Diego Comic-Con, Rodriguez announced she had completed filming her scenes and said "only four [or] five weeks [are] left" in production.[125] Filming in Angelino Heights (the location of the Toretto house) faced protest from some local residents after production gave notice of the filming of a sequence which would involve "simulated emergency services activity, aerial photography, wetting down of street and atmospheric smoke". According to those residents, the protest was to raise awareness for road safety education, claiming the franchise caused their neighborhood to become a hot spot for fans to engage in street racing and other dangerous activity.[126] Filming managed to occur following the protest on August 26,[127] while other portions were filmed in Portugal, such as in Lisbon, Viseu, and Vila Real. In an interview with Lusa News Agency, Conceição Azevedo, the mayor of Viseu, announced filming would take place on IP5, a highway in the Vouzela municipality.[128] Ritchson finished filming his scenes by August 16,[129] and hinted at flying cars in the film, stating "we're going to take it to the sky".[130]

During filming, Sofia Noronha, a producer for Sagesse Productions (the company in charge of overseeing production of Fast X in Portugal) said a "brutal economic investment" will be made in the country by the film. Highlighting the weather, affordability through tax breaks, and flexibility of the production, Noronha argued "investments [from film] made in the country is almost double that tax incentive. The [producing] country always benefits".[128] This was echoed during filming in Turin, with it reported the two-week schedule generated €3.8 million for the local economy, coming mainly from expenses related to location rent, hospitality, technical staff and local workforce employment, security and sanitation, and storage and unloading. It was also reported the film regularly brought troupes of close to 400 people (5 times above average for comparable films) and often collaborated with hundreds of local professionals on the research of locations and finalization of the working filming plan.[123] In a statement, Beatrice Borgia, President of Film Commission Torino Piemonte, said "Fast X is a confirmation of the key role Turin and Piedmont has gained in filmmaking. [We have] proved to have all what is needed to host complex productions: skilled professionals, supportive institutions, and amazing locations".[123]

Post-production

Dylan Highsmith and Kelly Matsumoto, both of whom were two of the three co-editors on F9, return as editors with Laura Yanovich and Corbin Mehl joining. Peter Chiang returns as the visual effects supervisor for the production, after doing so for F9, with DNEG and Industrial Light & Magic as the returning visual effects vendors. Composer Brian Tyler also returned. In a July 2022 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Michelle Rodriguez praised the addition of Leterrier and his predominantly French-speaking creative team, labelling it "the French takeover, dude". She stated Leterrier "came with all this energy of love [from] a real fan of [the] franchise who really wants to take it places that it hasn't gone before. It reminds you [how] beautiful and magical [filmmaking] is".[131] Several aerial shots were filmed with first-person view (FPV) drones with an attached RED Komodo camera piloted by Johnny Schaer, similar to the filming techniques that were used for the action sequences in Michael Bay's Ambulance (2022). Schaer previously supervised the drone-led filming in Rawson Marshall Thurber's Red Notice (2021).[132] In March 2023, the writing credits were finalized; Mazeau and Lin received screenplay credits, and both shared story credits with Zach Dean.[133] In May 2023, despite his initial refusal to return to the franchise, it was announced that Dwayne Johnson would appear as Luke Hobbs in the movie's mid-credits scene.[40]

Music

The first single for the film's soundtrack, "Let's Ride", was released on February 10, 2023, performed by YG, Ty Dolla $ign, and Lambo4oe. The soundtrack is expected to feature hip hop, pop, reggaeton, electronic rock, and rhythmic Latin tracks. Veteran franchise composer, Brian Tyler, was confirmed as composer on March 8, 2023.[134] The second song from the film, "Won't Back Down", performed by YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Bailey Zimmerman, and Dermot Kennedy, was released on May 4. The soundtrack of the film was released on May 19, by Artist Partner Group.[135]

The official soundtrack by Brian Tyler will be released on June 2nd, 2023.

Marketing

Parts of Fast X previewed at CineEurope in Barcelona in June 2022, including a first look at Jason Momoa and Brie Larson. Speaking of the film, Universal Pictures International President of Distribution, Veronika Kwan Vandenberg, stated the studio's drive was to continue to "cater to the diverse tastes" expected from the franchise.[136] At the 2022 Grio Awards, Tyrese Gibson stated he watched the completed film on October 20, 2022, describing it as "crazy" with "just too much magic", and announced an extended version of the film's trailer would first premiere at Super Bowl LVII on February 12, 2023.[137] This was seemingly confirmed in a December 2022 social media post by Vin Diesel, who wrote the trailer was "less than two months away",[138] and was made it official in January 2023 post.[139] In a January 2023 report by Collider, it was confirmed the first trailer would debut worldwide on February 10, 2023 (after being screened at a private fan event a day prior); it was three minutes long,[140] and was followed with a Super Bowl spot alongside Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, Cocaine Bear, Scream VI, 65, Air, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and The Flash (all 2023).[141][142] Beginning February 1, to promote the release of the trailer, official recuts of the trailers of each of the previous nine films, dubbed "Legacy Trailers", were released daily in conjunction with IGN.[143] The fan event took place at L.A. Live in downtown Los Angeles, being hosted by Maria Menounos and featuring Diesel, Rodriguez, Gibson, Ludacris, and Cody Walker, the brother of the series' longtime initial star Paul Walker.[144] Similar fan events also took place in Mexico, France, and Japan but did not feature the cast.[145]

On February 1, the film's teaser poster was released, depicting Diesel alone in the center, bowing his head and clutching a cross between his fists on a dark to light backdrop. Writing for Collider, Safeeyah Kazi said his positioning depicts "an intense prayer" with the "small amount of light [from the cross] engulfing his fist acting as the optimism in the dark". She also said that the relative simplicity of the poster compared to the "color explosion" for F9 could indicate a grittier storyline in Fast X. Kazi wrote the film's "the end of the road begins" tagline depicted "a new level of intensity", and speculated it could refer to the end for some of the franchise's characters.[146] In an analysis by Matt Singer of WBUF, Singer described the poster as "somber", noting it as "remarkably tense" compared to the posters for other entries in the franchise.[147] Stills from the film detailing Momoa, Larson, and Diesel's characters were publicly released on February 9,[148] and was followed by a teaser showcasing the main cast a day later.[149] The official trailer then released soon after,[150] featuring an orchestral flip of "Notorious Thugs" by The Notorious B.I.G. and Bone Thugs-n-Harmony from the former's album Life After Death (1997).[151] The trailer was mostly postively received; writing for GQ, Grant Rindner labelled the trailer "glorious absurdity", stating it is "as glossy and over-the-top as recent features". He commended the return of racing scenes, saying it "restores the original feeling" of the films, and said the music was an "operatic nail-biter".[152]

According to data from social media analytics company RelishMix, the film's Super Bowl trailer (dubbed "The Big Game Trailer") clocked 94.1 million views across social media in the 24 hour period following the game; it was the third most viewed trailer that aired at the event, behind Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (134.1 million views) and The Flash (97.4 million).[153] It was the highest-viewed trailer which did not debut at the event,[153] but its view count was down from the 110.9 million views received by F9's Super Bowl trailer in 2020, prior to that film's eventual delay. According to unnamed sources reporting to Variety, the first trailer accumulated an estimated 295 million views globally within the first 72 hours of release;[145] Instagram drove nearly 30% of views, followed by TikTok (25%), Facebook (22%), YouTube (18%) and Twitter (6%), with a majority of viewership coming in from international territories. Fast X also trended as the top topic on Twitter in the U.S. immediately after the trailer debut.[145] Similar to other Fast & Furious releases, Hot Wheels announced a themed basic assortment of cars set to feature in Fast X, which is set to be released with the film.[154]

On March 14, 2023, the official theatrical poster was released; writing for Collider, Aidan King positively reviewed the poster, saying the vehicles placed around the characters are similar to a "high-octane drag race", indicating a return to the franchise's history as car-oriented films. He also noted the characters "loom above the drag [race] scene", referencing the franchise's thematic shift away from car culture.[155] Two weeks later, further promotional images featuring Diesel, Larson, and Momoa were released; the images featured alcoholic beverages not released by Corona, marking the first time Corona is set not to be featured in the franchise.[156] Two featurettes were also released, first on March 31 and then on April 7, 2023, with the main cast giving a behind-the-scenes look (with previously unseen footage) at the production of the film.[157][158] An additional featurette highlighting Diesel and Perry's characters was released on May 5, with the pair and Leterrier providing commentary.[159]

On April 19, the second full-length trailer and the film's official synopsis was released; it was generally praised by critics for its action and Momoa's presentation.[160] On May 2, a character trailer featuring Diesel and Rodriguez, titled "Fast X: Open Road", was released; writing for /Film, Bill Bria described it as "reflective". The trailer featured elements of Max Richter's "On the Nature of Daylight" and Dinah Washington's contributions from "This Bitter Earth", which Bria said "lent even more gravitas to the Dom/Letty highlight reel". He further praised the combination, stating "visuals so nakedly frivolous and music so achingly earnest" created "an exquisite tension".[161] Two days later, the free to play 8-bit style game Fast X: Let's Race was launched online. The game features multiple top-down race courses set in the film's locations of Los Angeles, Rio de Janeiro, and Rome.[162] Diesel and Rodriguez then appeared in promotional spots at the 2023 Miami Grand Prix,[163] while in the United Kingdom, the film partnered with the Capital radio network to launch a competition for a listener to win a trip to Rome.[164]

In May 16, Philips partnered with Universal Pictures in the Philippines to get a chance to win tickets with the limited edition Evnia Gaming Experience Television Monitor.[165] Universal Pictures was also partnership with Frito-Lay in the potato chips brand Ruffles to create a limited edition potato chips. The potato chips comes a raffle ticket for fans to win a theatre ticket and the lucky prize was the car brand named "2023 Dodge Charger R/T."[166]

Release

Fast X was released first in Belgium, France, Sweden and Chile on May 17, 2023, and in the United States and Canada on May 19.[167] In February 2016, Diesel announced initial release dates for the ninth and tenth films, with the tenth film initially set to be released on April 2, 2021.[168] After F9 was delayed to the tenth film's release date due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tenth film's release date was delayed indefinitely.[169] In June 2021, Diesel announced a targeted release date of February 2023 and February 2024 for the tenth and eleventh films.[71] That August, Fast X was officially announced to be released on April 7, 2023. In December, the film was pushed back to May 2023,[167] and was widely released in IMAX and other premium large formats.[170]

Fast X had its world premiere at red carpet in Rome on May 12, 2023.[171] The film was cleared for release in China on March 28, 2023, marking one of the first large American films released in the country in 2023; Fast & Furious films have grossed over $1.2 billion in China since the release of Fast & Furious 6 (2013), and was one of the first countries where F9 (2021) was released, being five weeks ahead of its domestic release.[172]

Reception

Box office

As of May 21, 2023, Fast X has grossed $67 million in the United States and Canada, and $251.5 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $318.5 million.[4][5]

In the United States and Canada, tickets went on sale at midnight on February 9, 2023, a day prior to the premiere of the trailer.[170] According to a Fandango study, which surveyed over 6,000 ticket buyers between February and March 2023, Fast X was revealed to be the sixth-most anticipated film of the summer.[173] In April 2023, box office projections estimated that the film would gross $65–75 million in its opening weekend.[174] By the week of its release, estimates had been lowered to $60 million.[175] The film made $28 million on its first day, including $7.5 million from Thursday previews. It went on to debut to $67 million from 4,042 theaters, topping the box office.[176] Writing for TheWrap, Jeremy Fuster predicted that Fast X may be less profitable than some of its predecessors, citing the film's sudden increased overall production budget (at 70% larger than F9) and the expected large marketing budget.[102]

In the United Kingdom, tickets went on sale on May 5.[177] The film was projected to gross around $280 million worldwide in its opening weekend, including about $220 million from 84 countries.[175] Like its domestic debut, the film ended up slightly out-performing projections, making $252.7 million internationally and a total of $320 million worldwide. It was sixth-best opening weekend for a studio film since 2019, and second-biggest non-superhero title (behind Avatar: The Way of Water).[178] Its largest markets were China ($78 million), Mexico ($16 million), France ($9.6 million), and Brazil ($9.6 million).[179]

Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 54% of 235 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 5.7/10. The website's consensus reads: "As irredeemably silly as it is satisfyingly self-aware, Fast X should rev the engines of longtime fans while leaving many newcomers in neutral."[1] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 55 out of 100, based on 57 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[180] Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B+" on an A+ to F scale, the same as F9 and the first film but below other installments. PostTrak reported filmgoers gave the film an 82% positive score, with 67% saying they would definitely recommend it.[176]

Clarisse Loughrey of The Independent said that an "arbitrary" plot serves a "biblically-scaled soap opera [that] happily rewrites the laws of gravity and physiology to put a smile on its audience's faces", and praised the cast performances, namely Momoa's.[181] Momoa's performance was widely praised by critics; Eric Eisenberg of CinemaBlend said Momoa "plays Dante like [the] Fast & Furious version of The Joker", concluding it was a "delighful portrayal of a gleeful psychopath". Liam Crowley of Comicbook seconded this view, calling Momoa "hilarious", while Screen Rant's Joseph Deckelmeier said Momoa brings "magic" to a performance which "oozes charisma".[182]

In a mixed review, Brian Truitt of USA Today also praised Momoa's performance but criticized the screenplay, saying "laws of physics are pummeled at length and all logic is shot out of a cannon [with] its bizarre character choices and decisions".[183] Chicago Sun-Times's Richard Roeper gave the film two out of four stars, writing "Everyone slips comfortably into their roles and does what they can with the goofy dialogue and the death-defying, logic-defeating stunt sequences."[184]

In a less positive review, Charles Pulliam-Moore of The Verge criticized the return of former characters, saying the film has "convoluted twists and turns" which contribute to making it feel "exciting, but airless". He also wrote the large cast made its characters "feel like souped-up cameos meant to remind you of the past rather than figures organically existing in the present — especially when they just pop up out of nowhere, which happens more often than you'd expect". He also criticized the screenplay, saying "[Dom and Dante's] conflict ends up feeling like something that was mapped out on paper, but was not crafted tightly enough for on-screen".[185] This was echoed by Den of Geek's Don Kay, who lamented the lack of character beats for the supporting cast and the lack of stakes in the plot, although he praised Cena's performance, saying he "plays to his comedic strengths and gets by on his sheer charisma".[186]

Alison Willmore of Vulture criticized Leterrier's direction, writing the film "plays like it was made by an AI versed in the existing [films] but not quite up to spitting out something coherent itself" and called its plot "deliriously unwieldy". She also criticized its cast as being bloated and its dialogue as feeling "engineered to be clipped and used without context for promotional purposes", concluding watching Fast X "feels like sustaining a head injury".[187]

Sequels

A sequel, which is tentatively planned to serve as the eleventh main installment, is in development.[188] Prior to development of Fast X, in June 2021, Diesel said, "Every story deserves its ending. I know people are going to feel like it doesn't have to end, but I think all good things should. There are reasons for a finale. I think this franchise has deserved it".[54] This was echoed by longtime series director Justin Lin that September, who revealed the two-part finale, saying, "Every day, I try to configure and make sure whatever we're [discussing] will yield the best result. I think having one chapter in two [films] is correct".[189] This was then also confirmed in an interview by Louis Leterrier, who replaced Lin as director for Fast X, who said, "[Fast X] is big. What we're planning for the next [film] is gigantic, in terms of action, scope and emotion. You will feel all the feels. Tears will roll".[189]

In February 2023, Diesel said he wanted Robert Downey Jr. to star in the eleventh film as the primary antagonist, revealing a character has been developed which is "the antithesis of Dom". Rodriguez said she wanted Matt Damon to be included in the eleventh film.[190] Later that month, Diesel also confirmed the eleventh film will be the final main installment, saying, "What gets harder [about the films] is the work off-screen. The thinking, the expanding... It's hard to continue mythologies. There's a reason why Tolkien stopped writing after a while".[91][191] On April 19, Leterrier was announced as the director of the eleventh film,[192] while Christina Hodson and Oren Uziel were confirmed as screenwriters five days later.[193] On April 26, at CinemaCon, Diesel revealed the eleventh film will be released in 2025.[194] In May 2023, during the film's premiere in Rome, Diesel claimed Universal requested the series extend to a three-part finale, thus extending the main series to twelve films.[195] That same month, it was announced that Dwayne Johnson will be reprising his role as Luke Hobbs in the sequel.[196][197]
