Fasten your seatbelts because we finally have the trailer for the penultimate installment of the Fast & Furious saga, and we have the internet’s best reactions and theories.
Are you in need of a little family time? Well, luckily, Vin Diesel and company have got you covered! The trailer for Fast X has finally hit the internet!
Keeping in line with past entries in the series, this film looks like it is going to up the stakes, giving us bigger action, crazier set pieces, and an even larger family. The biggest reveal of the trailer is no doubt Jason Mamoa, as Dante, the film’s villain. It looks like he has direct ties to Hernan Reyes, the bad guy from Fast Five, and is planning to take his revenge on Dom and his family because of their actions in Rio.
Absolutely cackling at the reveal of who Momoa’s character is in the Fast X trailer

Extremely smart to tie the villain back to FAST FIVE, the one that probably the most people have seen and the one that completely changed the trajectory to the series.

Jason Momoa being retroactively added into the canon of Fast Five, still the apex of this joyously dumb series, is both hilarious and thematically appropriate for Fast & Furious. How many other unknown sons and daughters and brothers and sisters want revenge against Dom? pic.twitter.com/mOD9oQGzq5

The trailer also introduces us to some new friendly faces, with Oscar winners Rita Moreno and Brie Larson joining the cast. While they may be new to us, Moreno is actually playing Dom’s Grandmother.

If Rita Moreno and Helen Mirren don’t have their own girl gang by the end of this, they’ve wasted an opportunity. https://t.co/dZ5VISdiQo

Larson may also be a family member, as some speculate she could be an O’Conner. Possibly Brian’s sister.
Brie Larson has gotta be an O’Conner, right?

I don’t what Brie Larson’s character is doing in this new Fast X clip but obviously I support. pic.twitter.com/wYihpnmHkk

Of course, being a Fast & Furious movie, the fans have been having the time of their lives making memes about the new trailer.

Just a little bit bummed that this trailer doesn’t include a “fast-ten your seatbelts” line https://t.co/ZWH4vH2V1s

At the trailer premiere, Diese teased the plans for the 11th and final installment. It looks like Dom and his family will be going up against an evil tech billionaire, and Diesel wants Robert Downey Jr. to play him!
He says that this tech villain is the antithesis to Dom, and that would be an insane way to end the franchise, and we are all here for it!
Vin Diesel wants the “antithesis” of Dom for the next movie. That can only mean one thing: pic.twitter.com/61QzTH9AkN

Diesel also talked about this being the beginning of the end of the franchise. He spoke about how the lore and mythology just keep growing and even compared the planning of the franchise to Lord of The Rings.
Vin Diesel comparing himself to JRR Tolkien is giving me the strength I need to write today. pic.twitter.com/WrPLeMCrqP
