Since its debut back in 2001, The Fast and The Furious has become a massive and consistently successful action franchise. There have been eight movies so far, and the first spinoff came with Hobbs & Shaw. But the main franchise will continue with Justin Lin’s mysterious Fast and Furious 9. It is currently amid its principal photography.
Vin Diesel has been updating the fandom on the sequel’s progress. Also, he just dropped a major bomb: the always-iconic Cardi B has joined the cast.
So if you want to know more, please go through this article.
Cardi B’s Fast & Furious 9 Cameo Explained
Rapper and songwriter Cardi B make a cameo appearance in the long-anticipated Fast and Furious 9 film. So here’s what her role looks like for the Fast & Furious universe. Originally set for worldwide release in April 2020, F9 was one of many films that faced delays due to the pandemic. Filming for F9 began in the fall of 2019, and Vin Diesel shared the news on Instagram that Cardi B had joined the cast.
As a sequel to 2017’s The Fate of the Furious, F9 is the ninth main instalment for the franchise. This film sees Diesel’s Dominic “Dom” Toretto attempting to settle down with his wife, Letty (Michelle Rodriguez), and their son, Brian. But soon after discovering that his estranged brother, Jakob (John Cena), is involved in a heist involving a weapons-hacking device, Dom finds himself back in the centre of the action. Complete with the saga’s signature car racing and action scenes, F9 also includes a mix of familiar and new characters, plus a literal out-of-this-world adventure.
Cardi B’s Role In F9
In Fast & Furious 9, Cardi B plays the role of Leysa, an old friend of Dom’s. It’s assumed that they met at some point when Dom was in the Dominican Republic.
Queenie Shaw brings Dom to Hatfield House in London. Leysa greeted him, who is attending Otto’s party there. Otto has Dom arrested after Dom and Jakob have a heated exchange, and things look pretty grim for Dom when he’s captured by Interpol.
But when the agents remove their masks, it turns out to be Leysa and her team. She tells Dom she is working for Queenie and gives him his brother’s gun. That contains biometric prints that they can use to track his location. Thanks to her assistance, Dom can escape.
Why Fast & Furious Goes To Space In F9
That is, of course, the in-story reason for F9’s plot device of space travel. Externally to the story, F9 goes to space. For each Fast & Furious movie from Fast Five is ready to be twice as off the chain as the last one.
For a franchise that started with street racing, the Fast & Furious movies going to space was simply the next step in making. So it’s ridiculously believable for F9’s 145-minute runtime. As for how the movie makes it to space, of course, it wouldn’t be complete without a four-wheel vehicle.
