‘Fast X’: Watch the Opening Six Minutes of the Electrifying Sequel
Universal has unveiled the exhilarating first six minutes of ‘Fast X,’ the high-octane latest chapter in the Fast and Furious saga, online ahead of the movie’s transition to video on demand. The prologue, presented from the perspective of Jason Momoa’s malevolent peacock Dante Reyes, reminiscent of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, delves into the heist sequence from ‘Fast Five’ to shed light on Dante’s sinister motives.
The sequence kicks off with Brian (Paul Walker) and Dominic (Vin Diesel) in their unstoppable Dodge Chargers, towing a bank vault through the streets of Rio de Janeiro, hotly pursued by Joaquin de Almeida’s Hernan Reyes, presumably Dante’s father. In the original film, the sequence concludes with Dom taking control of the vault, mirroring this rendition of the scene.
However, in this particular version, the focus shifts from Dom standing on the Brazilian bridge to the franchise’s leading man obliterating Hernan with the swinging bank vault. The scene then transitions to new footage, showing Momoa forcefully ejected from his vehicle, plunging into the water below, only to dramatically resurface with open eyes.

Vin Diesel Teases Release Date for ‘Fast X Part 2’
What Awaits the Fast Family?
Just yesterday, Diesel took to social media to tease the release of ‘Fast X Part 2’—a title that will likely incorporate some humorous wordplay like ‘Fast & Fur11ous’—scheduled for April 4, 2025. ‘Fast X’ left viewers on a suspenseful cliffhanger, with a future that appeared grim for our heroes. However, two A-list cameo appearances illuminated a potential path forward.
Gal Gadot’s Gisele, who seemingly met her demise in ‘Fast and Furious 6,’ emerged alive and well, operating a nuclear submarine in the film’s finale, for reasons yet to be revealed. Meanwhile, in a post-credits scene, Dwayne Johnson’s annus horribilis took a turn for the better as he reprised his role as Luke Hobbs. These developments, along with Momoa’s involvement, will form the core of ‘Fast X Part 2,’ while Momoa is also expected to feature in Johnson’s standalone film—dubbed ‘Fast X.5’—as if the franchise wasn’t already complex enough. Whether Jason Statham’s Deckard Shaw, who teamed up with Johnson in ‘Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw,’ will join the cast remains uncertain.
You can watch the thrilling six-minute opening—titled ‘Road to Revenge’—below. ‘Fast X’ is currently showing in theaters and available for On Demand viewing.
