Vin Diesel announced the news via social media.
Vin Diesel has introduced Brie Larson as the newest member of the Fast and Furious franchise. The actor, known for playing Dominic Toretto in the long-running Universal film franchise, took to Instagram on Saturday to share a photo of himself with the Oscar winner. The image shows the two stars with broad smiles on their faces as she rests her hands on his shoulder.
announcing the news Diesel wrote, “Yeah yeah yeah… you see this angel over my shoulder cracking me up, you say to your self ‘that’s Captain Marvel. Clearly, there is love and laughter in this image. What you don’t see, however, is the character you will be introduced to in Fast10. You have no idea how timeless and amazing she will be in our mythology. Beyond her beauty, her intellect… her Oscar, haha, is this profound soul who will add something you might not have expected but yearned for. Welcome to the FAMILY Brie.”
In January it was announced that Jason Momoa would also be joining the franchise for the next instalment set to be directed by Justin Lin. Franchise regulars Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges and Sung Kang will return, and Charlize Theron, who joined the series in the eighth film, is expected to appear as well.
