The finish line is almost in sight for Vin Diesel and the cast of the Fast & Furious Saga as the first trailer for Fast X speeds its way online.
Love them or hate them (I personally love them), the Fast & Furious movies are box office dynamite. From the very first film back in 2001, the franchise has thrilled audiences around the globe. With its mix of action, stunts, drama, and in the later movies, sheer outlandishness, the movie-going public has taken Vin Diesel and his ‘Family’ to their hearts. But all good things must come to an end.
The tenth and penultimate film in the main franchise opens this May. Fast X will begin the end of the road for Dominic Toretto and his crew. The new film has all the main characters back in place alongside some outstanding newcomers in the form of Brie Larson and Jason Momoa. The first trailer for the film has been released online. Gas up the Dodge Charger again as we speed in to take a look:
