Brie Larson’s Fast & Furious Wish Is What Fast 10 & 11 Need

Fast and Furious 10 and Fast and Furious 11 could be greatly improved if Brie Larson’s desire to join Dom’s crew came to fruition. The Captain Marvel star recently said she wants to join the Fast and Furious movie franchise, saying that she is obsessed with them. While the main Fast and Furious story is coming to an end with the next two movies, casting Brie Larson would still be a great fit for the future of the long-running series, as it spins off in new directions.

The Fast and Furious movies have always benefited from spot-on casting beyond its original cast members. The additions of Dwayne Johnson in Fast Five, and Jason Statham at the end of Fast and Furious 6 really elevated the series into the juggernaut it’s become. More recently, Charlize Theron’s villainous Cypher in The Fate of the Furious and John Cena’s Jakob Toretto in F9 have further expanded the roster of stars to the mix. Fast and Furious 10 is currently due to start shooting in the spring, with Jason Momoa rumored to join the cast. While the call sheet for Fast and Furious movies is immense, there could still be space for Brie Larson to shine.

Notwithstanding that she was partly joking about joining Fast and Furious and was mostly just expressing her love for the series, Brie Larson would in fact be a great fit for Fast and Furious 10 & 11. Though the Fast and Furious movies are unashamedly popcorn blockbusters designed to appeal to a mass audience, they nevertheless attract serious actors at the top of their profession. If Brie Larson was cast in the movie, she’d be in good company, joining fellow female Oscar-winning actresses Charlize Theron and Helen Mirren. She’d also be adding to the growing list of strong female characters in a franchise that used to view them as either secondary to the male leads and/or objects of male desire.

Brie Larson has already had her franchise card stamped with her MCU role as Captain Marvel, and she’s next due to be seen in 2023’s The Marvels. Still, many stars are able to juggle multiple franchises, and her success as Captain Marvel has shown that she’s capable of delivering in the blockbuster arena. More than that though, she’s a great actress in her own right, as her powerful Oscar-winning turn in Room showed. The quality of Fast and Furious 10 could only be elevated with her addition to the cast.

While in reality, it’s probably too late for Brie Larson to join the cast of Fast and Furious 10 or Fast and Furious 11, those movies will not be the end of The Fast Saga. There is currently an in-development female-led Fast and Furious spin-off movie that Brie Larson would also be perfect for. Joining up with Michelle Rodriguez’s Letty Oritz and Jordana Brewster’s Mia Toretto (among the other Fast and Furious women) would be a coup for the series, and help it to stay relevant as Fast and Furious 10 continues the franchise through its third decade.
