Most of the main cast such as Vin Diesel (Dominic Toretto), Nathalie Emmanuel (Ramsey), Michelle Rodriguez (Letty Ortiz), Tyrese Gibson (Roman Pearce), Helen Mirren (Magdalene Shaw), and Chris Ludacris Bridges (Tej Parker) will be returning to their respective roles in the Fast & Furious 9.
Jordana Brewster who plays the role of Mia Toretto was missing in the last movie. She married Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) and now has two kids. In the new film, she will be back as Dom’s and Jacob’s sister. Moreover, Lucas Black has been confirmed to reprise his role as Sean Boswell.
The WWE star, John Cena, is the biggest newcomer of the film. He will be playing the role of Jakob Toretto, who is Dom’s and Mia’s badass brother. He plays the character of an assassin, master thief, and a high-performance driver.
Charlize Theron will be reprising her villainous role as Cipher. There are also many other new stars on the block such as Peaky Blinders actor Finn Cole, American rapper Cardi B, Vinnie Bennett, Ozuna, and Anna Sawai. Besides, Guardians of the Galaxy star, Michael Rooker will be playing the role of a character named Buddy.
Sung Kang might reprise his role as Han, who was killed back in Fast & Furious 6. We don’t know for sure whether Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham from spin-off movie Hobbs & Shaw will be a part of this film. But if they do appear, then they will most likely be seen playing cameo roles.
Makers haven’t given any confirmation about the potential return of Brian O’Conner, which was played by Paul Walker. Even fans are hoping that after the beautiful send-off in the seventh installment, the character doesn’t return. But we don’t know, anything can happen in this new film.
Fast & Furious 9 Plot:
As shown in the trailer, Fast and Furious will probably have extreme level action like never seen before. In this film, the lead character Dom Toretto is seen moving to the rural area.
