Fast X __exclusive__ May 2026

(also known as Fast & Furious 10) is a 2023 American action film directed by Louis Leterrier and represents the eleventh installment in the high-octane Fast & Furious franchise. Serving as the first part of a grand finale for the "Fast Saga," the film is a direct sequel to F9 (2021) and leans heavily into the series' long-running themes of "family," high-stakes vengeance, and physics-defying stunts. Plot Overview & New Threats

The narrative of Fast X centers on Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) as he faces his most personal threat yet: Dante Reyes, played with flamboyant, sociopathic energy by Jason Momoa.

The Motive: Dante is the son of drug lord Hernan Reyes, the antagonist from Fast Five (2011). He seeks revenge for his father’s death and the loss of his family’s fortune during the iconic Rio de Janeiro vault heist.

The Conflict: Unlike previous villains who sought global power, Dante’s sole goal is to make Dom suffer by systematically targeting every member of his family. This pursuit scatters the crew across various global locations, including Rome, London, Brazil, and Antarctica. Cast and Production

The film features an expansive ensemble cast that includes returning series veterans and several Academy Award winners:

Action Sequences: Physics as a Suggestion

Leterrier, known for the Transporter films and Now You See Me, grounds the chaos with slightly more spatial coherence than some predecessors, but the laws of physics remain firmly optional.

• The Rome Bombing: A massive, multi-stage chase involving a spherical explosive device rolling through the ancient streets. Dom uses his car to redirect the bomb toward the Tiber River, creating a spectacular, fireball-filled water geyser.
• The Rolling Bomb in London: A sequence that rivals Fast Five’s vault drag. This time, Dom’s car is attached to two massive, rolling bombs. The practical effects work is notable, with real cars and explosions.
• The Hydrofoil Chase: Tej and Roman commandeer a remote-controlled hydrofoil boat, leading to a chase sequence that defies logic but delivers high-speed thrills.
• The Dam Jump: Dom drives his Dodge Charger off a collapsing dam in Portugal—but not before his car is magnetically attached to a helicopter. The jump involves a 720-degree roll and a landing down a near-vertical dam wall.
• The Antarctic Submarine Battle: The climax shifts to a frozen reservoir behind a dam in Antarctica. Dom’s Charger, equipped with snow tracks and rockets, races across ice while a nuclear submarine (piloted by Dante) emerges. The sequence involves cars outrunning a laser-guided missile and a cliffside explosion that seemingly kills a major character—only for a mid-credits scene to reveal otherwise.

The Plot: Dante’s Inferno on Wheels

Picking up directly after the events of F9, Fast X retcons a crucial moment from Fast Five (2011). In Rio de Janeiro, Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his team infamously dragged a massive bank vault through the streets, destroying half the city. Among the casualties was the vehicle of Hernan Reyes, a drug lord they killed. However, we learn that Hernan had a son: Dante Reyes (Jason Momoa).

Dante wasn't just a bystander; he was in the car during the heist. He watched his father die and was left scarred, both physically and psychologically. Unlike previous villains who wanted money or power, Dante wants suffering. He is a flamboyant, sadistic, and terrifyingly intelligent villain who has spent the last decade infiltrating every agency Dom trusts.

The plot kicks off when a seemingly routine mission to steal a computer chip in Rome goes wrong. Dante has hacked the device, turning it into a massive bomb that levels the Eternal City. The world blames Dom and his crew, forcing them to go off-grid. What follows is a global chase from Rome to Rio to Antarctica, as Dante systematically picks off Dom’s family members one by one.

Key Performances and Characters

• Vin Diesel (Dominic Toretto): Diesel delivers a more introspective and vulnerable Dom. While still uttering iconic lines about "family," the film places him in a constant state of reaction and protection, stripped of his usual invincibility. His relationship with his son, Little B (Leo Abelo Perry), becomes the emotional core.
• Jason Momoa (Dante Reyes): The breakout star of the film. Momoa abandons typical stoic villain tropes for a performance of flamboyant, queer-coded, and unpredictable villainy. He laughs, cries, sings, wears colorful suits and pinky rings, and kisses his bicep after a kill. His Dante is a peacock of pure, sadistic glee—a dark mirror of Dom’s own unwavering loyalty, twisted into obsessive revenge. Momoa has cited influences like The Joker and Hannibal Lecter.
• Michelle Rodriguez (Letty Ortiz): Letty spends much of the film separated from Dom, teaming up with the rogue agency head Tess (Brie Larson, daughter of the late Mr. Nobody). Their mission explores a more clandestine, spy-thriller angle, though Rodriguez brings her characteristic grit and physicality.
• John Cena (Jakob Toretto): Returning from F9, Jakob evolves from antagonist to beloved uncle. Tasked with protecting Dom’s son while Dom draws Dante away, Jakob’s arc culminates in a surprisingly emotional sacrifice, adding genuine weight to the family theme.
• Charlize Theron (Cipher): The previous main villain (from The Fate of the Furious) is now a chaotic neutral. Captured and desperate, Cipher is forced into an uneasy alliance with Letty and Tess. Theron plays her with weary pragmatism, creating a fascinating dynamic where the lesser evil partners with the heroes.
• Alan Ritchson (Aimes): The new, by-the-book leader of the Agency, Aimes initially seems like a bureaucratic antagonist but has more complex loyalties.
• Rita Moreno (Abuela Toretto): In a surprising but welcome casting, the legendary actress appears as Dom’s grandmother, offering words of wisdom and, in a signature Fast moment, wielding a shotgun to defend her home.

Returning Legends

• Michelle Rodriguez (Letty): Still the baddest driver alive.
• Tyrese Gibson (Roman): At his most meta, Roman literally breaks the fourth wall to question why they haven't died yet, suggesting "plot armor." It is the funniest moment in the film.
• Sung Kang (Han): Finally back to his old self, though his resurrection is still never explained satisfactorily.
• John Cena (Jakob): Surprisingly vulnerable. Cena gets the dramatic heavy lifting in the final act.

Also, look for a shocking cameo from Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Luke Hobbs in the mid-credits scene. After years of public feuding with Vin Diesel, Johnson’s return sets up the final confrontation perfectly.
