Cardi B is taking the wheel! Hours after Vin Diesel posted a video with the Grammy winner taken on the final day of filming Fast & Furious 9 in the U.K., news broke that Cardi is officially joining the family.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Cardi has a “small role” in the film. There are no other details on who she’ll play, but whatever her part, we do know one thing: “I’m tired,” she said in Diesel’s video. “But I can’t wait!”
In case that wasn’t enough to get you (more) excited for this movie, Cardi also forecasted that Fast 9 is going to be “the best one” in the franchise. Diesel built up the hype, saying, “We all gave every single thing we could for this movie. Put it all on the table. Put it all out there.”
The news comes just weeks after Cardi teased a mystery gig during an appearance on The Ellen Show. “I’m going to film for a movie this month,” she said after host Ellen DeGeneres congratulated her on her scene-stealing performance in Hustlers.
Fast & Furious 9 is due to hit theaters May 2020. In the meantime, Cardi is going to take a “nappy-nap” — if anyone deserves one, it’s her.
The Fast and the Furious (colloquial: Fast & Furious) is an American media franchise centered on a series of action films that is largely concerned with illegal street racing, heists and spies. The franchise also includes short films, a television series, live shows, and theme park attractions. It is distributed by Universal Pictures.
The first film was released in 2001, which began the original trilogy of films focused on racing, and culminated in the standalone film The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006). The series then went under a soft reboot with Fast & Furious (2009), which transitioned the series toward heists and spying, and concluded with The Fate of the Furious (2017). Two more films are intended to conclude the series and are set to be released in 2020, and 2021, respectively.
Universal expanded the series to include the spin-off film Hobbs & Shaw (2019), while its subsidiary DreamWorks Animation followed this with the animated web television series Fast & Furious: Spy Racers. Soundtrack albums have been released for all the films, as well compilation albums containing existing music heard in the films. Two short films that tie into the series have also been released, while a female centered spin-off is also in development.
