'Fast X' Brings Back [SPOILERS] Not One, But Two Major Cameos (2023)

Spoiler alert:Spoilers ahead"hurry upNow in theaters.

- Do you believe in ghosts? asked Agent Monica Fuentes (Eva Mendes) at the end of Fast Five in 2011. I just introduced Agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and a surveillance photo of Letty (Michelle Rodriguez), who was presumed dead after a horrific accident in 2009's fourth film, The Fast and the Furious.

In the end credits, the Fast franchise has established that if you can't see a body, no one is really dead.

(In fact, Rodriguez recently revealed that she didn't know about the third-act plot twist until she saw Fast Five in theaters. She said in February"Fast X" trailer released.incident, explaining that he called producers and starswine dieselInstantly. "Can I just go to the movies and find out, Wen?" she asked him. )

Fast X, directed by Louis Leterrier, has promised to be the biggest installment yet, with a cast that includes Fast Family members Diesel, Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, John Cena, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Tyrese Gibson, Sung Kang, Scott Eastwood and Nathalie. Emanuel joins Jason Statham, Helen Mirren and Charlize Theron as the supervillain Codex.

Newcomers to the action-packed stage include Alan Richson (Ames, the agency's no-nonsense new boss who sees "family" as just "car cult"), Brie Larson (Tess, Kurt Russell's headstrong daughter, Mr. Nobody), Rita Moreno (as Dom's grandmother Abuelita Toretto) and Daniela Melchior (Isabel, a street racer with ties to her family). Jason Momoa stars as the film's main villain, Dante, who takes revenge on Dom and his family over two and a half hours.

So now that we've got the background, who's resurrecting "Fast X"?

[This is your final spoiler alert...]

Get ready for Fast Fam, as "Fast X" returns not once but twice, featuring Hobbs and Dwayne Johnson, andGal GadotGiselle.

In an action-packed chase scene, Dom escapes Dante's final trap (two large remotes threatening to crush him and his son, Brian Jr. (Leo Abelo Perry), using NO to steer/pilot his The car leaves the dam and enters the waters below, the villain detonates a series of bombs, and the film cuts to black.

Letty and Cipher follow, wandering the icy landscape after escaping from a maximum security prison in Antarctica. They crossed the ridge when suddenly a large submarine surfaced. Who should climb out of the hatch to save her? Giselle.

"You still think my plan is terrible," Cipher broke down, and Letty looked confused.

Before becoming Wonder Woman, Gadot made her big-screen debut in the fourth Fast & Furious movie, in which she played Gisele, an intelligence operative and weapons specialist who has become an integral part of the Sun racing family. When the character died in 2013 in Fast & Furious 6, when the crew fell off a cliff while trying to shoot down the plane, his time in the high-octane franchise seemed to be over.

Most Fast fans will be quick to point out that Gisele's beloved Han (Kang) had a near-death experience in the latest 2021 installment of F9: The Fast Saga. So with the third resurrection, the series officially kicked off.

It also raises the question of whether Han knew Giselle was alive all along. Only time and the next movie will tell.

Also, with Letty and Cipher striking a truce at Fast X, does Gisele's reappearance bring things closer to fan-favorite female-centric flicks? perhaps.

Gadot confirmed her return on Saturday, posting photos of Gisele and the team on social media. "I miss my fast food family! I'm so thrilled," she wrote. "To my fans, this journey is fueled by your continued love and support. This is a tribute to the legacy we have built together, the fans and the Fast Family!

But the biggest surprise was Johnson's return after him.Publicly reject Diesel's requestRejoining the action series in a December 2021 interview with CNN after a very public feud between the two action stars.

"The world is waiting for the end of 'Quick 10,'" Diesel wrote on Instagram in November 2021. "Years ago, I said I would keep my word to Pablo [the late Paul Walker] Promise. I vowed in the finale, which is the 10th, that we will realize and embody the best "fast"!

in the interviewJohnson explained that he had spoken privately with Diesel. "My words are strong but sincere, and I say I will always support the cast, always support the success of the series, but I will never go back," he said, blessing the "Fast & Furious" franchise. Good luck and success for the next chapter. "

A chapter from Johnson is now obviously included.

A scene in the "Fast X" end credits follows the tactical team as they search for something (or someone) in a movie theater while Roy Rogers and Dale Evans' "Happy Trails" plays in the background. One of the officers, dressed head-to-toe in black with a mask and glasses to conceal his identity, reached for a ringing cell phone. The screen says "No Caller ID," but the voice on the other end is definitely Dante.

"You did something bad and dirty, Sheriff. Dom was driving the car, but you pulled the trigger," Dante said, while "Fast Five" footage showed Hobbs shooting Dante's father , the villain in that movie, Hernan Reyes. "Now I'll make you suffer," he said Dante. "The devil has come for you, lawyer."

As he prepares to return, the camera presses harder and harder on Johnson's face, and he grows more and more angry. "Well, I'm not hard to find, bitch!" Johnson growled.

Considering the film marks Johnson's franchise debut, using Fast Five to bring Hobbs back into the game makes perfect sense. In the movie, his character Hobbs starts off as an antagonist to Team Dom, trying to bring them to justice after a botched job, but as the show progresses, he sides with our heroes. Johnson later rode with the "family" in 2013's Fast and Furious 6 and 2015's Fast and Furious 7, but stepped down from the main series after 2017's Fast and the Furious, and in 2019 He reunited with Statham in the 2019 spin-off The Fast and the Furious. . : Hobbs and Shaw.

So not only does Fast X's mid-credits scene bring Hobbs back into the main plot, but it also opens up multiple possibilities for the path forward for the upcoming 11th film.

But the bigger question is when will Dom and Hobbs meet on screen? Or will they travel on parallel paths for most of the next movie, then collide at the end? who will say

(If these returns somehow prove to be one-offs, like Mendes' reappearance, then at least fans can still hope that Johnson and Gadot star alongside Ryan ReynoldsThere are also two "Red Notice" movies.Netflix）。
