Vin Diesel Wants Robert Downey Jr. In The Next Fast and Furious Movie

Los Angeles, February 10 - Universal Pictures' action thriller "Fast & Furious" is one of the most loved movie franchises in the world. It has featured some of the biggest Hollywood names including Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, John Cena, Charlize Theron, Helen Mirren, Rita Moreno, and Jason Momoa, among others.

Vin Diesel has played the lead role of Dominic Toretto in the previous films in the franchise and he now wants Robert Downey Jr. to join the Fast & Furious family. When asked by Variety about his dream casting at the 'Fast X' trailer premiere on Thursday night, Diesel gave RDJ's name without hesitation.

"Without telling you too much about what happens in the future, there's a character who is the antithesis of Dom who is promoting AI and driverless cars and a philosophy that with that goes your freedom", Diesel said when asked which role RDJ will play.

"There is somebody that believes that's future, and that's at direct odds with the Toretto mentality." However, when pressed about if he's pitched Downey Jr. the role yet, Diesel simply growled and said in a playful yet menacing tone, "How dare you ask me this question in front of all these people? I have pride and I have dignity".

The upcoming film in the franchise, "Fast X" also stars Jason Statham, Jason Momoa, Tyrese Gibson, Chris 'Ludacris' Bridges, John Cena, Jordana Brewster, Brie Larson, Nathalie Emmanuel, Sung Kang, Scott Eastwood, Michael Rooker, Daniela Melchior, Alan Ritchson and Cardi B.

"Fast X" is slated for May 19, 2023, in theaters worldwide.
