On Friday, the much-anticipated Fast X teaser appeared on the internet, revealing all that fast & furious fans would like, including a spoiler for Jason Momoa, a legendary actress and EGOT winner, and Brie Larson, who we haven't heard much about yet.
The tenth and most bleakest of beloved films would not be complete without reminiscing back to the beginning — with a DVD heist and a couple of quick appearances from Paul Walker, who played the character Brian O'Conner, who played Vin Diesel in the film's original co-star.
Walker's role in Furious 7 has not been forgotten, despite his death in a car accident nearly a decade ago (his younger brother Cody Walker played the lead in the film), and Diesel's daughter, named Pauline, has remained constant throughout the following films.
Walker's appearance midway through the trailer was just the kind of sentimentality that fans needed to get back to basics.
“Fast X has everything,” said Gothamist arts and culture editor Ben Yakas. “Han's hair. Adding a new character to a previous movie's narrative. Race Wars. Jason Momoa arms. Paul Walker stock footage. Charlize Theron putting in the required 15 min comeo. Famlee.”
Several others have echoed Walker's words, expressing how much they regretted him.
On May 19, 2023, Fast X will enter cinemas, and even without Walker, it will not be released until the end.
