The tenth film in the Fast and Furious franchise, Fast X, had its world première in Rome last Friday. It’s only fitting, as the newest flick takes the audience from Los Angeles to the catacombs of Rome, from Brazil to London and from Portugal to Antarctica. Returning cast members, including Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris ‘Ludacris’ Bridges, Jordana Brewster and Sung Kang, join several newcomers in what is an anticipated summer blockbuster that has shown it has no plans to slow down just yet. In fact, Diesel reportedly told Forbes at the film’s red-carpet première that Fast X is part of a three-part finale, not two as originally planned.
