Did Hollywood just order a ‘Fast & Furious’ female reboot movie

Lights, camera, action! The Fast & Furious franchise has been dishing out car-chase thrills and heart-stopping stunts for over two decades. But it’s not just the revving engines and jaw-dropping heists that keep fans coming back for more. The fierce, fabulous, and unforgettable women of this iconic series have left a lasting impact, breaking stereotypes and taking charge, whether behind the wheel or behind the scenes. 

Let’s take a nostalgic ride down the memory lane, revisiting the storylines of these dynamic women who’ve owned the screen with their powerful personas. This is the movie order, girl-power style!

Phase 1

First up is Letty Ortiz, played by the incredible Michelle Rodriguez. A master of the mean streets, Letty isn’t just the better half of Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel). She’s a trailblazer who can outdrive any man on the road. Letty’s journey has been a wild ride, from her supposed death in Fast & Furious to her mind-boggling return in Fast & Furious 6, complete with amnesia. Talk about drama!

Then there’s the compassionate Mia Toretto, portrayed by Jordana Brewster. As Dom’s sister and Brian O’Conner’s (Paul Walker) love interest, Mia is the heart and soul of the Fast & Furious crew. From aiding in high-octane heists to becoming a doting mother, Mia’s transformation is truly heartwarming.

Who could forget Monica Fuentes (Eva Mendes)? This undercover U.S. Customs Service agent made her mark in 2 Fast 2 Furious, assisting Brian and Roman Pearce (Tyrese Gibson) to take down a Miami drug lord. And let’s not forget the fearless street racer Suki (Devon Aoki), who was there for Brian when he needed her the most.

Remember Neela (Nathalie Kelley) in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift? She had us all rooting for her as she found her way out of a toxic relationship and into the arms of Sean Boswell (Lucas Black).

Phase 2

Next, we have the badass Gisele Yashar, portrayed by Gal Gadot. This former Mossad agent went from working for the bad guys in Fast & Furious to being an invaluable member of Dom’s crew. She even found love along the way with Han (Sung Kang), proving that in the world of Fast & Furious, there’s always room for romance.

Enter Elena Neves (Elsa Pataky), the Rio de Janeiro police officer who won Dom’s heart when he believed Letty was gone. As the mother of Dom’s son, she had a significant impact on the storyline, even beyond her tragic death in The Fate of the Furious.

Fast & Furious 6 introduced us to Riley Hicks (Gina Carano), a double agent whose betrayal left us all stunned. The same movie also brought us Ramsey (Nathalie Emmanuel), a genius hacker who proved that brains and bravery make for a killer combination.

Last but not least, we have Cipher (Charlize Theron), the cyberterrorist who turned Dom against his family in The Fate of the Furious. And let’s not forget the ultimate matriarch, Magdalene “Queenie” Shaw (Helen Mirren), the mother of the Shaw siblings who’s always ready to lend a helping hand.

These women have not only enriched the Fast & Furious universe with their unique stories but also inspired countless girls and women around the world. They’ve shown us that women can be tough, intelligent, compassionate, and absolutely indispensable, whether they’re tearing up the asphalt or navigating the complex relationships that make the Fast & Furious saga so much more than just a car-racing franchise.

Next phase?

Each of these women, from the fearless Letty Ortiz to the brilliant Ramsey, has carved out her own path in the high-octane world of Fast & Furious. They’re not just along for the ride; they’re in the driver’s seat, shifting gears and pushing the limits.

So, buckle up, because the journey is far from over. As the franchise continues to evolve, we can’t wait to see how these incredible women will continue to blaze trails, break barriers, and redefine what it means to be a woman in action cinema. After all, in the world of Fast & Furious, it’s not about how fast you drive, but how you steer your own destiny. And these ladies? They’re in full control.

Final stretch

With such a diverse and dynamic group of women taking charge, the Fast & Furious series has not just entertained us; it has inspired us. It has shown us that women can be as fast, as furious, and as fabulous as they want to be. And we are totally here for it!

 Remember, ladies, in the words of Dominic Toretto, “It doesn’t matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning’s winning.” And these women? They’re definitely winning.

Fasten your seatbelts, Fast & Furious fans. This ride is only getting started!
