In a recent interview on SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show, Fast & Furious 9 star Michelle Rodriguez confirmed rumors started by costar Ludacris that the franchise will be heading to outer space. When asked if she would be heading to space with Ludacris, she had this to say:
“Oh, no way. How did you guys find that out? See what happens? People start talking behind the scenes, man. When a movie doesn’t come out and forget about it, things get out,” the actress says. “Nobody was supposed to know that.” As for whether she gets to head into space, Rodriguez added: “Oh, well, no, I’m not, I’m not, I’m not lucky enough to hit space, but we did get a female writer and showed a lot of love, I think, on this one. Thanks to Justin Lin, we were able to, to find a little bit more attention and love for the girls in the movie. And so I’m really hopeful that shows through in the final product.”
Due o the COVID-19 pandemic, Fast 9 has been delayed until April of 2021. Nothing official has been announced about the planned tenth film in the franchise.
