TheFast Xtrailer begins whereF9ended, withVin Diesel’s Dominic Torettohaving a meal with his family, which has always been a big part of the franchise. With this installment, Toretto worries about “losing someone [he] loves.” This is where Momoa’s Dante comes into the picture, as he wants revenge for what Toretto did to his family in the past. A scene fromFast Fiveplays where Toretto and O’Conner dragged an entire safe across a highway, seemingly killing Dante’s family members. Dante is related to crime lord Hernan Reyes, the main villain in the fifth installment.
In typicalFast and Furiousfashion, the trailer is loaded with cars, explosions, and several mentions of “family.” Apart from Momoa, the trailer alsointroduces Brie Larson’s Tess. Fans have theorized for months that Larson’s character is O’Conner’s sister, and the trailer does support it to an extent. She is one of the good guys on Toretto’s side, but will Captain Marvel be enough to stop Aquaman? Time will tell. TheFast Xtrailer also brings back John Cena’s Jakob, Toretto’s estranged brother, and Jason Statham’s Deckard Shaw, after he ventured off with Dwayne Johnson’s Luke Hobbs for a bit.
It seems like the franchise is coming full circle, as theFast Xtrailer also focuses on the racing aspect, which was the crux of theentireFast and Furiousfranchisewhen it first began. Bringing some of the most important characters back also means that the journey toward the franchise’s ending has started. And for the filmmakers to include Walker’s O’Conner in the trailer and film is a nice touch, as he is now a part of the installments that bring the franchise to an end.
Fast Xis scheduled to premiere in theaters on August 02, 2025.
