Who’s in the tenth instalment of the franchise?
The movie franchise originally started with The Fast and the Furious in 2001 and has since become one of the highest-grossing action film franchises.
Details of Fast X remain under wraps but nearly all of the main cast members are known. These include recurring stars Nathalie Emmanuel, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, Michelle Rodriguez, Sung Kang and Charlize Theron.
The new names to join the acclaimed action franchise include Jason Momoa, Daniela Melchior and Brie Larson.
Momoa will be playing the main villain in Fast X while Larson has been cast in an undisclosed role. Both Momoa and Larson join a long list of mega stars who have earlier been part of the franchise such as Dwayne Johnson, John Cena, Jason Statham and Gal Gadot.
