FAST & FURIOUS 9 Star Michelle Rodriguez Confirms Movie Will Take The Franchise Into Outer Space

F9: The Fast Saga was supposed to be released earlier this year, but is now heading to theaters in 2021. Now, star Michelle Rodriguez has confirmed that the franchise is indeed heading into outer space...

Ever since Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson joined the Fast & Furious franchise, it's become one of the most successful movie series in Hollywood, and each subsequent instalment has upped the stakes and action. Recently, we learned that an upcoming Tom Cruise movie will take the daredevil actor into outer space, but it sounds like F9: The Fast Saga will beat it to the punch. 

Earlier this year, Ludacris dropped some hints that this might be the case, and co-star Michelle Rodriguez confirmed as much during a recent interview on SiriusXM's The Jess Cagle Show.

"Oh, no way. How did you guys find that out? See what happens? People start talking behind the scenes, man. When a movie doesn’t come out and forget about it, things get out," the actress says. "Nobody was supposed to know that." As for whether she gets to head into space, Rodriguez added: "Oh, well, no, I’m not, I’m not, I’m not lucky enough to hit space, but we did get a female writer and showed a lot of love, I think, on this one."

"Thanks to Justin Lin, we were able to, to find a little bit more attention and love for the girls in the movie. And so I’m really hopeful that shows through in the final product."

Right now, we don't know whether certain cast members literally head into space or whether special effects will be used to make that happen, but after F9 was delayed, we'll now find out next April.

How do you feel about Fast & Furious...in spaaaace?

Wow this series really doesn't give a shit. So glad I stopped watching. Should have ended with 7th film. It had already jumped the shark, getting more ridiculous with each film, now this. This was a series about street racing and its basically become xXx on steroids.



they have done that 4 or 5 times by now

@dracula - should've ended with 5. 6 was only relevant because of paul walkers death and 5 was the last one trying to make a genuine new movie rather than just going more over the top.

@Origame - Paul Walker died before the 7th one, not the 6th one.

Seriously Desil, you want a spy movie, which you turned this series into, fix xXx.

@KWilly - where it will turn out Dom's father was also really a villain and still alive. (they added an evil, never mentioned brother, soap opera writing)

@dracula - EXACTLY! Nobody ever mentioned this missed brother and the franchise mantra is literally “family”. And of course this brother is a bad ass government trained rogue assassin.
dracula
dracula - 9/11/2020, 3:58 AM
@WruceBayne - like seriously why would he be that, they were normal people when this series started, they were racing cars and hijacking trucks, how the hell does this happen and he is never mentioned

Remember when you thought that driving a gigantic safe down streets, pancaking cars with it was the craziest this series could go?

Good times.

@RageDriver2401 - I once thought the car jumping on the boat in 2F2F was already pretty crazy.

Good times indeed.

Dragging a safe down the street and jumping a car into a boat was pretty crazy but I was blown away when they drove a Honda Civic up under a moving semi.

Good times fellas, good times...

No way they actually are going to space. If previous movies are any indication, they're definitely going with CGI
