After its main star Vin Diesel had been teasing the release of the firstFast Xtrailer coming soon, it has finally been confirmed that the newFast and Furiousentry will drop the highly-anticipated footage on February 10.
The date would hardly seem like a coincidence asFast Xis the tenth installment in theFast and Furiousfranchise, and also the penultimate movie before Dominic Toretto and company’s story is considered finished. While Diesel’s activity on Instagram had hinted a potential Super Bowl release date, it seems like Universal passed on that opportunity, perhaps in order toavoid sharing the spotlight with DC’sThe Flash, whose trailer already has a spot booked on that Sunday night.

Confirmation of the January 10 date comes courtesy ofCollider, in an exclusive report that also says theFast Xtrailer could be over 3 minutes long, meaning fans will get a proper clue of what kind of trouble Toretto’s crew will be getting themselves into. Now, while the main preview won’t be featured during Super Bowl Sunday,Fast Xwill still make appearance on the night of the event with another TV spot that could act as a further complimentary tease for the full trailer.
The very successful F9, one of the films that brought movie theaters back to life after the pandemic, got its first trailer during the Super Bowl, so it’s not surprising to seeFast Xsticking to some kind of promotion on that date. Considering thisFast and Furiousfilm’s stacked cast, it’s not surprising the movie needs a long trailer to showcase newcomers like Brie Larson and Jason Momoa.
Besides these big names,Fast Xalso sees the likes of Michelle Rodriguez, Tyreese Gibson, Ludacris, Sun Kang, Jordana Brewster, Jason Statham, Charlize Theron, Helen Mirren and John Cena reprise their roles, with some rumors suggesting evenGal Gadot’s Gisele come back from the deadthis time around. Throughout its two-decade history, theFast and Furioussaga has always delivered on the promise of going bigger with each subsequent entry, and after venturing to space, it’s anyone’s guess what the crew will pull off this time.
As one of 2023’s most anticipated movies,Fast Xhas plenty of hype going for it, and considering the film’s budget has reportedly ballooned to $340m,theFast and Furious’snew directorhas to get off to a good start with its trailer.
