Check out as everything gets bigger in the Fast and Furious franchise, including the previews. Our first look at Fast X comes in the form of a jumbo-sized, nearly four-minute long trailer.
The penultimate installment of the hugely successful action franchise comes on May 19, and this first look checks all the boxes: dialog about the importance of family, expensive-looking vehicles exploding, a slew of international setpieces, and Vin Diesel wearing a mechanic’s shirt.
Though this installment looks as glossy and over-the-top as some of the recent features, there does appear to be an attempt to restore the original feeling with a street racing scene. Then again, there’s a scene where Dom’s muscle car gets hooked by two harpoons and crashes a pair of helicopters into each other, so things aren’t exactly grounded here.
The preview for Fast X continues the trend of turning ’90s rap classics into epic orchestral numbers, this time flipping The Notorious B.I.G. and Bone Thugs ‘n Harmony’s “Notorious Thugs” into an operatic nail-biter.
“There’s a war brewing. It’s coming to an end, and it is a race to the finish,” Letterier told Empire. “There will be some tremendous casualties.”
Still, with scenes in three continents, the most impressive cast this side of an Avengers movie, and a 20-plus-year story arc to conclude, even a more grounded Fast and Furious movie has sky high expectations.
