Spoiler Alert: There are SPOILERS in this story for Fast XThe tenth installment of the Fast & Furious movie series (barring the spinoff, Hobbs & Shaw) has arrived in movie theaters, and the sequel comes with some big surprises for longtime fans of the franchise. Initially, the film was announced as the penultimate installment of the series, though Vin Diesel has recently teased that there could be two more movies to come. In any case, Diesel and Co. have been going all out with some big franchise returns of major characters from past movies who haven't been seen in a while.
Among those making a return is Gal Gadot. Seemingly, Gadot's character, Gisele, perished in Fast & Furious 6 and hadn't been seen in the movie series since. So, you can imagine the surprise some viewers had when she turned up in a submarine, alive and well. At this point, with the film released, Gadot can address her involvement in Fast X, which she has done with a post on Instagram that celebrates reprising her role as Gisele.
Gadot wrote, "Missed my Fast family! I’m overwhelmed with excitement.
To my fans, your continuous love and support fuels this journey. Here's to honoring the legacy, the fans and the [Fast Family] that we've built together."
"YES!!!! Welcome back," responded Jordana Brewster, who also returned as Mia Toretto, in the comments section; you can see the post below.
Fast X Brings Back Gal Gadot as Gisele
Back in December, rumors emerged that Gadot would be involved with Fast X, though the extent of how that would be was not revealed. It could have been speculated that her appearance was for a flashback sequence, but some fans were probably thinking that a surprise return with Gisele still alive was possible. After all, Sung Kang famously returned as Han when that character was similarly killed off in a past movie, so such a thing is not that unusual in the franchise. Chances are Gisele will also be playing a much bigger part of Fast & Furious 11 with her return now established.
Meanwhile, as reported ahead of the film's release, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson also returns in a mid-credit scene. This was significant as it had been widely reported that Johnson would not be involved with Fast X due to friction he's had behind the scene with Vin Diesel on previous movie sets. That surprise return to the franchise also would suggest big plans for the return of Luke Hobbs coming up to the end of the series.
Fast X is now playing in movie theaters. Louis Leterrier directs the film using a screenplay by Dan Mazeau and Justin Lin. The film stars Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, John Cena, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jordana Brewster, Sung Kang, Daniela Melchior, Alan Ritchson, Scott Eastwood, Helen Mirren, Brie Larson, Rita Moreno, Charlize Theron, and Jason Momoa.
