AceShowbiz - The first official trailer for "Fast X" is finally here for fans' viewing pleasure, after being teased with a look back at the previous installments. Being debuted on Friday, February 10, the trailer sees Jason Momoa as a big baddie who threatens to ruin Dominic Toretto's (Vin Diesel) idyllic life.
"Dominic Toretto... You're about to learn all about fear," Momoa's Dante Reyes says as the scenes show how Dom possibly had a brush with Dante in the past. "You built such a beautiful life filled with love and family. I never got that chance. You stole that from me. My future. My family," he added, before launching his threat. "And now...I'm gonna break yours...piece by piece."
Dom shares his fear about losing his loved one, while Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez) is seemingly prepared for the worst as she says, "One of us might not come back from this, but we have to fight." Going face-to-face with Dom, Dante fiercely declares, "Never accept death, when suffering is owed."
The video also teases that Dom will be back to his roots, racing, to save his family. "Winning used to be about winning. We raced for respect. Today, I race to stop the blood bath," he says before he goes to race against Dante.
The trailer also features Brie Larson, who makes her debut as Tess. Her character is described as a rogue representative of Mr. Nobody's agency who allies with Dom and his crew, but there's apparently a lot more to be told about her mysterious character as she's seen having a duel with Letty.
"She is mysterious, working in the shades of gray - she appears to Dom in his highest time of need and she's his guardian angel. When he is alone and lost his way a little bit that his grandmother warned him about, she will help him," director Louis Leterrier says to EW about Larson's character.
He goes on teasing, "And she has an origin that is clearly part of the franchise. I won't reveal it, but it's all about the legacy, the generational legacy of all these characters. After a quarter of a century, these people have had lives and kids and everybody has a different point of view on Dom and his own personal influence on their life. And that's how she [fits in]."
According to the official synopsis, "Over many missions and against impossible odds, Dom Toretto and his family have outsmarted, out-nerved and outdriven every foe in their path. Now, they confront the most lethal opponent they've ever faced: A terrifying threat emerging from the shadows of the past who's fueled by blood revenge, and who is determined to shatter this family and destroy everything-and everyone-that Dom loves, forever. "
"In 2011's 'Fast Five', Dom and his crew took out nefarious Brazilian drug kingpin Hernan Reyes and decapitated his empire on a bridge in Rio De Janeiro. What they didn't know was that Reyes' son, Dante, witnessed it all and has spent the last 12 years masterminding a plan to make Dom pay the ultimate price," it goes on detailing.
"Dante's plot will scatter Dom's family from Los Angeles to the catacombs of Rome, from Brazil to London and from Portugal to Antarctica," the synopsis reads. "New allies will be forged and old enemies will resurface. But everything changes when Dom discovers that his own 8-year-old son (Leo Abelo Perry) is the ultimate target of Dante's vengeance."
Also starring Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jordana Brewster, Sung Kang, Jason Statham, John Cena, Scott Eastwood, Helen Mirren and Charlize Theron, the beginning of the end of the "Fast and Furious" saga will head into theaters in the U.S. on May 19.
