The Aquaman actor is officially set to join the Fast & Furious franchise for the upcoming 10th installment. And he recently teased about his role at the world premiere of The Batman. While talking to the Entertainment Tonight, Momoa quipped, “I’m gonna go do Fast 10. Yeah, I’m gonna go do this small, independent over in London,” he joked.
The Justice League star went on saying, “It’s fun, I get to play the bad guy, which I haven’t got to do for a while. Now I’m gonna be the bad boy, the very flamboyant bad boy. You know, a little panache.” The upcoming 10th and 11th installments of the Fast & Furious movies will wrap up the blockbuster franchise.
Along with Vin Diesel, longtime stars Michelle Rodriguez, Sung Kang, Ludacris, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, and Nathalie Emmanuel are expected to return. Rapper Cardi B, who had a much-talked-about cameo in F9 will also return to the franchise. “We are very much excited to evolve her character and to expand it to the finale,” Diesel previously told Entertainment Tonight of Cardi, who plays Leysa in F9. “She made it just in time. She came in Fast 9 just in time.”

At least one past cast member who will not return is Dwayne Johnson, who recently addressed an Instagram post made by Vin Diesel in November, in which the actor publicly asked Johnson to rejoin the movie franchise. Johnson called Diesel’s move ‘an example of his manipulation.’ “I was very surprised by Vin’s recent post,” Johnson told CNN in December. “This past June, when Vin and I actually connected not over social media, I told him directly and privately that I would not be returning to the franchise.”
He continues, “I was firm yet cordial with my words and said that I would always be supportive of the cast and always root for the franchise to be successful, but that there was no chance I would return,” he continued. “I privately spoke with my partners at Universal as well, all of whom were very supportive as they understand the problem.” Fast & Furious 10 is scheduled to hit theaters on April 7, 2023.
