Jason Momoa Seeks Revenge in Fast X's Action-Packed Trailer

[embedded content] This time it's personal: Vin Diesel's Dom Toretto must protect his family from old enemies in Fast X.

Vin Diesel's Dom Toretto finds his peaceful existence as a family man cut short once more in the trailer for Fast X, the 10th main installment (and the 11th feature film) from the wildly successful Fast and Furious franchise.

(Some spoilers for previous films in the franchise below.)

This has been in the works since 2014, later split into two films that will wrap up the main episodes. Justin Lin was originally tapped to direct Fast X, but left the project due to "creative differences" a week after filming began in April last year, although Lin has co-wrote the film and stayed on as producer. The Hollywood gossip mill quickly kicked into high gear, with reports of on-set clashes between Lin and Diesel, alleging the star was out of shape, struggled with his lines and was often in delay. Lin also objected to some of his script rewrites, and it was reported that after an intense disagreement with Diesel, he exclaimed that the film "isn't worth my sanity".

Universal had to scramble to find a replacement director, and it found one in Louis Leterrier, who directed the first two Transporter films, as well as The Incredible Hulk< /em> in 2008. , Clash of the Titans from 2010, and Now You See Me from 2013. Leterrier said he wanted to do more live stunts enhanced with visual effects, rather than tons of CGI, to bring the franchise "back to Earth" - perhaps a sly reference to F9, which featured a climactic scene in which Tej (Chris "Ludacris" Bridges) and Roman (Tyrese Gibson) drive a "rocket car" into near-Earth orbit to destroy a satellite and are rescued by the crew of the International Space Station (no, really). We'll even see a bit more of the street racing that featured so well in the previous films.

All main cast return for Fast X: Diesel, Bridges, Gibson, Michelle Rodriguez as Letty, Jason Statham as Deckard Shaw, John Cena as Dom's brother Jakob, Jordana Brewster starring as Dom's sister Nathalie Emmanuel as computer hacktivist Ramsey and Sung Kang as Han Lue, who we learned in F9 faked his death. Charlize Theron reprises her role as criminal mastermind Cipher, and Helen Mirren returns as Deckard's mother, Queenie. There are some new faces too, including Jason Momoa as the main antagonist, Dante, in league with Cipher. Brie Larson plays a character named Tess, and Rita Moreno plays Abuela Toretto, grandmother to Dom, Jakob, and Mia. It will also be the first film in the series to feature electric cars like the DeLorean Alpha 5.

Family has long been a central theme in F&F movies, and Fast X is no exception. According to the official premise:

In Fast Five in 2011, Dom and his team took out Brazilian drug kingpin Hernan Reyes and decapitated his empire on a bridge in Rio de Janeiro. What they didn't know was that Reyes' son, Dante (Jason Momoa), witnessed all of this and spent the last 12 years hatching a plan to make Dom pay the ultimate price. Dante's plot will disperse Dom's family from Los Angeles to the catacombs of Rome, from Brazil to London and from Portugal to Antarctica. New allies will be forged and old enemies will resurface. But everything changes when Dom discovers that his own eight-year-old son is the ultimate target of Dante's revenge.

The trailer opens with Abuela reminding our assembled team that despite all the hardships they've faced, they're still here together, "building this wonderful family." But Dom worries about his former adversaries, especially now that he has something valuable to lose. "You are about to learn...
