This villain is portrayed as the biggest threat in the family and the video teases Dante’s motivations behind his revenge against Vin Diesel’s Dom. It also offers insight into the unique admiration he developed for his enemy.
Dante is arguably the franchise’s most ridiculously over-the-top villain. I can’t help but laugh at this character because I can’t take him seriously. I don’t know if he was what they were looking for, but he comes across as a ridiculous cartoon-like character.
Look, I love this franchise! Most of the movies have been a blast to watch, and this one looks like it’s going to be full of insane action, but I’m not convinced by the villain.
Watch the featurette and let us know what you think!
Fast X, the tenth film in the Fast & Furious saga, launches the final chapters of one of cinema’s most legendary and popular global franchises, now in its third decade and still going strong with the same cast and characters as when it began.
Over the course of many missions and against impossible odds, Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his family have outwitted, unnerved and defeated every foe in their path. Now they face the deadliest adversary they have ever faced: a terrifying threat emerging from the shadows of the past, fueled by a blood feud, and who is determined to tear this family apart and destroy everything – and everyone – that Dom loves, forever. . .
In 2011’s Fast Five, Dom and his crew took down nefarious Brazilian drug kingpin Hernan Reyes and beheaded his empire on a bridge in Rio De Janeiro. What they didn’t know was that Reyes’ son Dante (Aquaman’s Jason Momoa) witnessed it all and has spent the last 12 years hatching a plan to make Dom pay the ultimate price.
Dante’s plot will scatter 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 8-year-old son (Leo Abelo Perry, Black-ish) is the ultimate target of Dante’s revenge.
Fast X was directed by Louis Letterier (The Incredible Hulk) and written by Justin Lin (F9) AND Dan Mazeau (Wrath of the Titans). Fast X stars returning cast members Michelle RodriguezTyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jordana Brewster, Sung Kang, Jason Statham, John Cena AND Scott Eastwoodwith Elena Mirren AND Charlize Theron.
The film also features new cast members including Brie Larson as Tess, a rogue representative of the Agency; Alan Ritchson (Reach) as Aimes, the new head of the Agency who doesn’t have the same passion for the Dom crew as his predecessor, Mr. Nobody; Daniela Melchior (The suicide squad) as a Brazilian street racer with a strong connection to Dom’s past; AND Rita Moreno like Abuelita Toretto from Dom and Mia.
Fast X will be released on May 19, 2023.
