Fast X finally arrives in theaters this weekend, bringing the story of the Fast and Furious saga to the beginning of its conclusion. One corner of the franchise that fans have wanted to see further explored is its female characters, with a female-fronted spinoff film being in the works in various degrees for the past few years, with Nicole Perlman, Lindsey Beer, and Geneva Robertson-Dworet being brought on to write the project.ย In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight at Fast X‘s world premiere, the women of the Fast franchise were definitely on board with the concept of a female-fronted spinoff film.
“I don’t think we’d be mad about anything that involved ladies all together,” Brie Larson, who plays Tess, explained.

“There’s nobody better,” Letty Ortiz actress Michelle Rodriguez echoed. “I’m all about it! Bring it!”ย
“Here’s what I would like to see,” Mia Toretto actress Jordana Brewster suggested. “I would like to see Charlize [Theron], me, Natalie [Emmanuel], Michelle, Brie. I would like to see us all kick some ass together!”ย
“God knows Hollywood could use one of those,” Rodriguez continued. “We don’t have any good ones, not really, really good ones.”ย
“It was very clear that we would love to spend more time together,” Larson added.
Will there be a female Fast and Furious spinoff?
As Universal Pictures film chief Donna Langley explained last year, the prospect of a female-fronted Fast film was definitely a possibility.ย
“I would love to see a femaleย Fast,” Langley explained in an interview with Business Insider last fall. “So would Vin [Diesel]. We have so many great and amazing female characters in our franchiseย and now there’s the new addition of Brie Larson to add to the incredible roster. I would love to see us do a femaleย Fast.”
