“Fast And Furious,” the American action series, has been ruling the screens and the hearts of the audience since 2001.The latest release “The Fate of Fast and Furious” is breaking all box office records with its impeccable stunts and actions. Now the grapevine is abuzz with rumors that Universal Studios is planning to make a spin-off.
Guess who the potential cast is expected to be? Luke Hobbs (portrayed by Dwayne Johnson), Deckard Shaw (portrayed by hard-core Jason Statham) and Cipher (portrayed by Charlize Theron). However, the absence of Vin Diesel from expected spinoff is both shocking and saddening at the same time.
The script is expected to be written by Chris Morgan.
The ensemble cast
As of now, no date has been laid down for the spin-off. The ensemble cast for the movie is also keeping mum on the suppositions. The concept of a spin-off was in the pipeline since the entry of Dwayne’s character into the “Fast and Furious” franchise.
Dwayne Johnson debuted with the “Fast and Furious 5” and is currently a part of almost all the sequels. His character Luke Hobbs, a Diplomatic Security Service agent, imposed with the duty to hunt down Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) is popular with the franchise’s fans. Statham, who portrayed the role of Deckard Shaw has also been a part of the “Fast and Furious” series from the sixth sequel.
The expected spin-off
Charlize Theron, debuted with the “Fate of Fast and Furious,” where she portrayed the antagonist Cipher. Initially, Universal Studios had no plans on how to initiate this idea, but with the involvement of Statham, it all changed. The chemistry and the bond shared between Statham and Johnson led them to kick off the plan.
Theron received positive and overwhelming response for her negative portrayal of the character.
It is early days to detail what the anticipated movie will have as its premise. However, speculations are rife that the next “Fast and Furious” movie could focus on the bond shared by Johnson and Statham. It is expected that the duo would be engaged in a cat and mouse hunt with Cipher.
A hurdle the movie may encounter is the coordination of the availability of all the cast. Keeping in mind that all the stars are busy with other commitments, it will be tough to align the availability of all the three for the impending movie. It remains to be seen if the expected spin-off of the “Fast and Furious” can overcome these hurdles efficiently.
