Fast and Furious 10: The hero of Captain Marvel can play an important role

Last April, we learned that Brie Larson was joining the cast of Fast X in an as-yet-undisclosed role. With Vin Diesel now in its 13th week of filming, the Oscar-winning actor is rumored to be starring in the 2016 drama Room.

And as always in the Fast & Furious saga, it’s about family… Brie Larson could definitely play Brian’s (Paul Walker) sister.

At the end of Chapter 7 of the saga, Brian took a different route from Dom and rode off into the sunset. But unlike her translator Paul Walker, who was tragically killed in a car crash in 2013, her character is still alive in the saga. She is also regularly referred to as a babysitter.

is brian back

Last May, Vin Diesel’s Instagram post also hinted that Bryan could return for the latest opus. Cody Beau Walker, the brother of Paul Walker, who already replaced him in Fast & Furious 7, would shoot the scenes and recreate the dead actor’s face in CGI or using deepfake techniques.

A theory that would confirm the ending of Fast & Furious 9, which already teased Brian’s return. We remind you that at the end of the feature film, the whole family is standing at the table and celebrating a new victory. The chair is empty and Mia (Jordana Brewster) then tells her brother “he’s coming”.

The blue Nissan Skyline GT-R, Brian O’Connor’s car, then pulls down the driveway. Many saw this final scene as a sign of the character’s return.

And Brian could be back with his sister…

“Happy creative week… I’m so happy and thankful that the cast and crew gave their best… and did it with smiles and laughs. Haha. @brielarson Thank you all for believing in us. We hope you make us proud. All our love, always .”

A “timeless” character

Announcing the arrival of Captain Marvel’s translator in the motorized saga, Vin Diesel said his character would be “timeless” in the franchise’s mythology and “add things you didn’t expect, but things you wanted.” . A statement that makes sense if Brie Larson is playing Brian’s sister.

Up until now, the O’Connor family has received little mention. We just know that the ex-cop was raised by his mother, whose identity he does not know, after his father left. So he could have brothers and sisters. Like Jacob (played by John Cena), the villain of Fast & Furious 9 who was the brother of Dom and Mia.

It’s just a theory at this point, but the latter holds water and could offer Brie Larson a place in the larger Fast & Furious family. Especially since a female spin-off of Saga is still in development…

Directed by Frenchman Louis Leterrier (following Justin Lin’s hasty departure), Fast & Furious 10 hits our theaters on May 24, 2023. Vin Diesel and Brie Larson will answer. , Charlize Theron, Rita Moreno and the historical actors of the saga.
