Dom Toretto and his family's past will meet up with them in Fast X in the form of Jason Momoa's Dante Reyes, and the new villain is "pure chaos," according to director Louis Leterrier.
The filmmaker spoke with Total Film Magazine about Dante's unpredictability and motivation in targeting Dom (portrayed by Vin Diesel). "He's analyzed him," Leterrier said. "There's nowhere to hide, because he knows Dom better than he knows himself. Dom truly meets his match with Dante."
Fast Five will basically be required viewing to fully grasp what's at stake with Dante, Leterrier said. That's because Dante is the son of the Brazilian drug kingpin from that film. Dom and his crew ruined the crime boss with the Rio De Janeiro heist, and Dante has been planning his revenge ever since.
"There's family on your side," said Leterrier. "There's also family on the other person's side. When the family that was your super-strength becomes your Achilles' heel, it's where you're going to get wounded the most."
The Fast X trailer arrived last month, showcasing Dom and Dante facing off. The film will also star Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Sung Kang, Jordana Brewster, John Cena, Brie Larson, Helen Mirren, and Charlize Theron.
