Fast & Furious 10 Adds Captain Marvel’s Brie Larson to Cast

The way that Diesel’s caption reads, it’s possible that Larson may be playing someone connected to characters from the previous films—which isn’t really saying anything, admittedly, given that this series loves to pull from its own history. But it may also be a wholly new character meant to serve a new function in adding some new blood to the franchise. Back in 2019, Diesel said that a female-led spinoff was in the works, and since F9 tried to address the franchise’s shortcomings in this regard—actors Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster reportedly wanted to make sure their characters Letty and Mia shared on-screen time together—it feels like the right time to try and get that spinoff off the ground. Since Fast 11 is meant to end the mainline films, it would make sense for the penultimate film to set the stage for a new lead once Dom and his crew have put their cars in park for good. That, or maybe Larson’s just playing Captain Marvel again, for the sole purpose of getting Team Toretto even further into space.

Fast & Furious 10 arrives in theaters on May 19, 2023.
