It’s not long until the end of the two-decade-long road officially begins for theFast and Furiousfranchise with less than a month untilFast Xhits theaters. The upcoming tenth installment marks the first of two finale films in what is expected to be an epic farewell for the action-packed epic. Historically, theFastsaga has featured a fair mix of violence, well-timed coarse language, and a touch of racy romances. It looks likeFast Xis set to cruise at a similar pace with the Motion Picture Association of America giving the film a PG-13 rating. As per the organization’s latest weekly ratings the movie is “rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, language and some suggestive material.” The rating falls in line with previous entries in the franchise including predecessorF9.
Who Will Be The Main Villain InFast X?
What the rating does confirm is thatFast Xwill not be compromising on all the action and intensity promised thus far in the promotional material. The film is set to seeVin Diesel’s Dom Toretto (and family) come face to face with a vicious ghost from the past in the form ofJason Momoa’s Dante. Fueled by vengeance, Dante is the son of kingpin Hernan Reyes (Joaquim de Almeida), who die-hard fans will recall was killed back inFast Fiveby Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson). Firm in his desire to make the family pay the price of his loss, at any cost, an undeniably unhinged Dante declares war putting everyone and everything Dom loves on the line. Fromthe teasers so farit’s clear Dante will stop at nothing to achieve his goal, be it in the form of ferocious explosives or deadly devices. This new level of madness is set to earn him a place at the top of the list of Dom’s enemies. Although Dante may make for quite the formidable foe, Dom has something of a small army behind him in the form of his misfit squad and if history is anything to go by, they won’t be doing down without a fight.
Whilst no entry into theFastsaga is complete without an overload of epic action sequences and perfectly choreographed car chases, film star Diesel has also promised a more emotional note in the final chapters. Diesel confirmed that the franchise would weave in atribute to the late Paul Walker, who starred opposite Diesel as Brian O’Conner until his tragic death in 2013. “I will give you this without spoiling anything: I couldn’t imagine this saga ending without truly saying goodbye to Brian O’Conner,“he previously told Total Film Magazine.
