The Ultimate Fast X Cast Breakdown: 7 Shocking New Faces And The Return Of The Family OGs
The global phenomenon that is the *Fast & Furious* Saga has always been defined by its ever-expanding "family," and the tenth installment, *Fast X* (also known as *Fast and Furious 10*), delivered one of the most star-studded, explosive, and surprising ensembles in the franchise's history. As of the current date, December 22, 2025, the conversation has shifted from the confirmed lineup of *Fast X* to the even more shocking additions announced for the upcoming finale, *Fast X: Part 2* (often referred to as *Fast and Furious 11*), with one world-famous athlete set to make his blockbuster debut.
The casting for *Fast X* was a masterclass in blending beloved veterans with A-list newcomers, setting the stage for the final two-part chapter of the core saga. Led by the unwavering presence of Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto, the film introduced a primary antagonist who is perhaps the most flamboyant and menacing villain the family has ever faced, while simultaneously bringing back fan favorites and setting up a monumental conclusion that will require every member of the Toretto crew—and some unlikely allies—to survive.
The New Face of Villainy: Jason Momoa's Complete Biography and Profile
The most significant and talked-about casting addition to *Fast X* was Joseph Jason Namakaeha Momoa, who took on the role of the primary antagonist, Dante Reyes. Momoa’s performance injected a new, chaotic energy into the franchise, portraying a sociopathic villain whose motivations are deeply rooted in the history of the Toretto family.
Dante Reyes is revealed to be the vengeful son of Hernan Reyes, the Brazilian drug lord whose vault and fortune were famously stolen by Dom and Brian O’Conner in *Fast Five*.
Jason Momoa: Biography and Profile
- Full Name: Joseph Jason Namakaeha Momoa
- Date of Birth: August 1, 1979
- Place of Birth: Honolulu, Hawaii, U.S.
- Nationality: American
- Notable Roles Before *Fast X*:
- Khal Drogo in the HBO series *Game of Thrones*.
- Arthur Curry / Aquaman in the DC Extended Universe (including *Aquaman* and *Justice League*).

The Core Family and A-List Newcomers: Who Returned and Who Joined
The *Fast X* casting confirmed the return of virtually every major character who makes up the Toretto "family," alongside several high-profile stars who previously played major supporting or antagonistic roles. This massive ensemble cast ensured that the film felt like a true culmination of the entire franchise.
The Returning Family and Allies (The OGs)
The core crew, who have been with Dom through countless heists and impossible missions, all returned:
- Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto, the patriarch.
- Michelle Rodriguez as Letty Ortiz, Dom’s wife.
- Tyrese Gibson as Roman Pearce, the crew’s fast-talking comic relief.
- Chris "Ludacris" Bridges as Tej Parker, the tech expert.
- Nathalie Emmanuel as Ramsey, the brilliant hacker.
- Jordana Brewster as Mia Toretto, Dom’s sister.
- Sung Kang as Han Lue, whose return from the dead in *F9* was a major plot point.
The Major Cameos and Unexpected Allies
The film also saw the return of several major players from the franchise's wider universe, many of whom started as enemies or rivals but are now uneasy allies:
- Jason Statham as Deckard Shaw, the former antagonist who has since become an ally.
- Charlize Theron as Cipher, the cyberterrorist who has a complex relationship with the family.
- John Cena as Jakob Toretto, Dom's estranged brother, who was introduced in *F9* and now fights alongside the family.
- Helen Mirren as "Queenie" Shaw, Deckard's mother.
- Cardi B as Leysa, the street racer from *F9*.
- Rita Moreno as Abuela Toretto, Dom’s grandmother, a significant new family entity.
The Significant Newcomers
Beyond Jason Momoa, *Fast X* introduced two other major A-list actors in pivotal roles:
- Brie Larson as Tess, a rogue agent from the Agency (the mysterious organization run by Mr. Nobody). Tess is introduced as an ally to Dom.
- Alan Ritchson as Aimes, the new head of the Agency who is initially suspicious of Dom and his crew.
The sheer volume of star power, from Oscar winners like Charlize Theron and Brie Larson to action legends like Jason Statham and John Cena, underscores the massive scale of the *Fast Saga* finale, ensuring that every corner of the Toretto family's world is represented in the climactic battle against Dante Reyes.
The Latest Update: Football Legend Joins the Family for Fast X: Part 2
While the *Fast X* casting was announced throughout 2022 and 2023, the most current and surprising news comes from the development of the final chapter, *Fast X: Part 2* (often referred to as *Fast and Furious 11*). This news confirms that the franchise is not slowing down its tradition of shocking, high-profile cameos and unexpected cast additions.
The latest major announcement, which has generated massive buzz among fans globally, is the official casting of football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo in the upcoming sequel.
Cristiano Ronaldo's Blockbuster Debut
The legendary Portuguese footballer, widely regarded as one of the greatest athletes in history, is set to make his acting debut in *Fast X: Part 2*. The news was confirmed by co-star Tyrese Gibson (Roman Pearce) and teased by Vin Diesel, who reportedly wrote a role specifically for the sports icon.
While details about his character and the plot surrounding him are scarce, the inclusion of Ronaldo marks one of the most unexpected and high-profile celebrity castings in the franchise’s history, further blurring the lines between the world of action cinema and global pop culture. His presence suggests that the final installment will not only be a high-octane car chase but also a cultural event.
The addition of the five-time Ballon d'Or winner to the cast is a clear signal that the producers are aiming for an unprecedented level of global appeal for the final film. This move follows the trend of incorporating global music stars, such as Cardi B, to maintain the franchise's topical relevance and massive worldwide box office draw.
The casting of *Fast X* and its sequel has successfully established a multi-generational, globally diverse ensemble, ensuring that the final showdown between Dominic Toretto and Dante Reyes is an epic worthy of the *Fast Saga*’s twenty-year legacy. With the return of the original crew (Dom, Letty, Roman, Tej, Ramsey, Mia, Han), the emergence of formidable new villains (Dante Reyes), and the recruitment of surprising new allies (Brie Larson, Alan Ritchson, and now Cristiano Ronaldo), the stage is set for a truly unforgettable conclusion to one of cinema's biggest franchises.
