Jason Momoa Shakes Up the Fast & Furious Franchise
Switching Lanes – Jason Momoa’s first time in the Fast & Furious series has him ditching his “hero” armor for the ultimate villain moves.
Why the Ride Is a “Time of My Life”
During a cheery chat with Variety, Momoa gushed about the adrenaline‑filled chase scenes, saying: “Time of my life!” His excitement was contagious.
Meet the New Villain
- Bad Guy 2.0 – He finally cements his place in the bad‑boy tier, having been a hero for ages.
- He’s sadistic, androgynous, and a bit of a peacock – a flamboyantly terrifying mastermind.
- He’s grappling with “daddy issues” that add a layer of deep‑dark drama.
In the 10th Major Takeoff
With Fast X rolling out, Momoa swaps his Aquaman legacy for motor‑powered mayhem, turning the beloved franchise into a fresh playground for his villainous flair.

Fast X: Vin Diesel, Charlize Theron, and a Sneaky Return of the Villain
Vin Diesel’s Big‑Screen Excitement
“I get to shoot with some really cool people that I have never worked with before,” Diesel said, adding a grin that could match a mirror. “First up, it’s Charlize Theron. I’m buzzing to team up with her—she’s absolutely amazing!”
He repeated it twice, like a catchy refrain: “I’m excited I’m working with Vin. I’m excited I’m working with Charlize.” This time it was the Vin—”Vin” engaged, meaning check out the action-ready brand of “I’m thrilled”!
Who’s the New Bad Guy?
And just when you think you’re ready for a solo, the Fast & Furious crew brings back a beloved baddie. The villain’s return promises a showdown that’ll keep fans on the edge of their seats—think of it as the echo of the classic “wild card” you didn’t see coming.
A Change in Direction
The blockbuster Fast X is in the pipeline for a May 19, 2023 release. Instead of the familiar Justin Lin behind the camera, Louis Leterrier (the brain behind The Incredible Hulk) is steering this chapter. Think of it as picking a fresh captain for a high‑speed cruise; the fuel’s the same, but the steering wheel’s taken hand.
- New director, new vision for the high‑octane thrills
- Lin’s abrupt exit last year has left a gap that Leterrier fills with charisma
- Expect some novel twists in the chase scenes
What’s Going On Outside the Movie
Meanwhile, the man (well, the “man” behind this stuff) is also dashing off into the live‑action adaptation of One‑Punch Man, showing that a love for fast things is not limited to just their car moves.
In Short
Fast X is gearing up to keep the “Fast & Furious” feel alive while sprinkling in fresh elements: a classic villain’s comeback, a new partner for the star, and a swap of directors that promises a new flavor to the déjà‑vu saga.
