After being on the top of the global box office list for
several years, it looks like the ‘Fast & Furious; franchise is now all set
to enter the space.

In an interview with Sirius XM, Michelle
Rodriguez, who plays Letty Ortiz in the franchise, hinted that this could be
the big surprise of ‘Fast 9’.

On being asked if they are going to space in
the movie, Michelle said, “No way! How did you guys find that out? See what
happens, people start talking behind the scenes when a movie doesn’t come out
and forget about it. Things get out. Nobody was supposed to know that.”

While she confirmed that her character is
not in space, she hinted that Vin Diesel might be going to the space. Vin has
played Dominic Toretto in the action franchise known for its stunts.

That’s not all, Michelle also confirmed
that the next ‘Fast & Furious’ movie will have a female writer. She said, “Super grateful that they were open to it. I wanted a female writer. I
wanted all the females in Fast
& Furious to get some love.”

“The
thing is, is that all the guys are focused on the guys, period,” Rodriguez
said. “It’s just an egoist natural thing. For people, people just care about
themselves usually, or people who look like them or act like them or have the
same genitalia, I don’t know. It’s just how it works. And so I just know that
if I bring up a female writer and she might care a little more about the female
story,” she added.

The franchise started in 2001 and has had 10 films so far, including the spin-offs.

Fast 9 was originally scheduled to release in May 2020 but was postponed due to the ongoing pandemic. The film is now scheduled to release on April 2, 2021.
