Fast and Furious 9 goes to space

Fast and Furious franchise is set to take place in the outer space for its ninth sequel, reports say.

Ludacris, who plays Tej, and Michelle Rodriguez confirmed the plans. When asked about the plans on Sirius XM, the Letty actress said: “Oh, no way. How did you guys find that out? See what happens?”

While Michelle didn’t let the exact storyline slip ahead of next year’s release, she did add that she wasn’t “Lucky enough” to be one of the characters who left the earth’s atmosphere. This isn’t the first time the cast has shed light on a potential space race, with Paul Walker’s brother Cody teasing the rumours in a chat, “I think anything is possible and we’ll see what the future has in store,” he told.

Fast and Furious 9 will be released in cinemas on April 2, 2021.
