The film stars Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris Ludacris Bridges, Jordana Brewster, Nathalie Emmanuel, and Sung Kang, alongside John Cena, Charlize Theron, and Helen Mirren.

He discussed the future of the franchise with Deadline: The two final movies will reportedly conclude the series focused on the core cast, nearly 20 years after it first came to the screen.
