Universal Pictures has unveiled a new featurette for its upcoming film, Fast X. Set to hit theaters on May 19, this highly anticipated installment in the Fast and Furious franchise promises an exhilarating ride for fans worldwide.
The featurette shines a spotlight on the father-son relationship at the heart of the film, focusing on the character of Dominic Toretto, played by the iconic Vin Diesel, and his son, affectionately known as Little B, portrayed by the talented Leo Abelo Perry. The name “Little B” pays homage to the beloved character Brian, portrayed by the late Paul Walker, whose presence continues to resonate throughout the series even after his character’s final appearance in Furious 7.

In Fast X, Diesel emphasizes that audiences will witness a portrayal of fatherhood that harkens back to a more traditional sense of teaching one’s child to be resilient and resourceful. It’s a theme that resonates with parents across the globe, as they all strive to pave the way for a better future for the next generation. The importance of family and the bond between father and son are key elements explored in the film.
The audience first learns about Dominic Toretto’s son in The Fate of the Furious, and in F9, the character was portrayed by Isaac and Immanuel Holtane. Little B’s resilience and strength come from knowing that he is surrounded by his supportive family, creating a strong familial bond that helps him face the challenges that lie ahead.
