Trivia / Fast X

---

• Awesome, Dear Boy:
  • Brie Larson was initially hesitant to join another franchise film following the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but decided to join the film as The Fast and the Furious has been her "dream franchise".
  • Jason Momoa starred in the film mainly as it allowed him to play a villain.
• Celebrity Voice Actor: In the Japanese dub, the flight attendant is voiced by the Youtuber and fashion model Miyuu Ikeda.
• Flip-Flop of God: Vin Diesel originally asked Dwayne Johnson to return to the franchise for its conclusion, but he turned them down following Hostility on the Set between the two of them in previous entries, and vocally stated that his involvement with the franchise was over. However, Johnson later filmed a cameo for the movie's The Stinger very close to its release, then weeks later it was revealed a Luke Hobbs film was in development.
• Hostility on the Set: Justin Lin reportedly bowed out of his directorial duties because of repeated clashes with Vin Diesel, saying that the film is "not worth my mental health". He is still attached as a producer, however.
• The Other Darrin: Leo Abelo Perry replaces Isaac and Immanuel Holtane as Brian Marcos.
  • Also, in the Latin Spanish dub, Dante Galván replaces Darío Galván in said role.
• So My Kids Can Watch: Rita Moreno's role as Abuela Toretto came after she was persuaded by her grandson to appear in the film after he met Vin Diesel at the premiere of West Side Story (2021).
• What Could Have Been:
  • An early script for the film excluded Mia Toretto from the film's story, but Vin Diesel didn't like that draft because of his feelings of Mia's importance in the bond between Dominic Toretto and Brian O'Conner. This led Diesel and his daughter Pauline to insist for Mia to be brought into the story until Justin Lin accepted.
  • Tego Calderón, Don Omar, Cardi B and Michael Rooker were initially announced to reprise their roles as Tego Leo, Rico Santos, Leysa and Buddy, respectively, but ended up sitting out the final film.
  • Keanu Reeves was considered for the role of Aimes but he turned it down due to filming John Wick: Chapter 4 at the time.
  • According to Alan Ritchson, there was an early version of the script in which his character Aimes and Dante Reyes were revealed to be brothers, and while he did shoot the scene depicting such Plot Twist along with the one used in the final cut, it was ultimately decided to use the latter.
• You Sound Familiar: In the Japanese dub, Katsuyuki Konishi, who voice Aimes, previously voiced Sean Boswell in the dub of The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. Likewise, Megumi Han, who dubs Isabela, previously voiced Layla Gray in the dub of Fast & Furious: Spy Racers.
