Fast X: Michelle Rodriguez Calls Jason Momoa Best Male Villain of the Franchise

There are loads of reasons the Fast and Furious series has gone on to become one of the biggest film franchises in history, but a big one is that stellar ever-growing ensemble. Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, and Jordana Brewster may not have been household names back in 2001, but after the release of that first film and their big return to the franchise in the fourth installment, 2009's Fast & Furious, their stars soared and the Fast franchise started to attract some of the biggest names in the business. Fast Five gave us Dwayne Johnson as Luke Hobbs. Jason Statham stepped in full force in Fast & Furious 6 as Deckard Shaw. Furious 7 added Kurt Russell. We got more Hollywood royalty in The Fate of the Furious when Helen Mirren joined the cast as Magdalene Shaw and Charlize Theron stepped in as Cipher. F9 introduced John Cena’s Jakob Toretto, and now in Fast X, we’re also getting Alan Ritchson, Brie Larson, and Rita Moreno. Oh, did I miss a key new addition there? As the ensemble of Fast heroes grows and grows, it must become more and more challenging for the filmmakers to find a villainous force to match them. Can anyone really best Dom, Letty, Mia, Roman (Tyrese Gibson), Tej (Ludacris), Han (Sung Kang), Ramsey (Nathalie Emmanuel), and whoever else winds up fighting for Family? There aren’t many actors out there who can inspire such confidence without seeing the finished film, but Jason Momoa is indeed one of them. Momoa joins the Fast X cast as the film’s big bad, Dante Reyes. Turns out, Dante is actually the son of Hernan Reyes (Joaquim de Almeida), the corrupt politician and drug lord killed in Fast Five. Twelve years later, Dante wants revenge. What exactly can we expect from Momoa’s Dante in Fast X? What will he bring to the franchise that makes him a standout new addition to an always-stacked cast? Michelle Rodriguez offered up a pretty exciting tease during an episode of Collider Ladies Night in celebration of the release of Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.
