A new behind-the-scenes image from Fast X shows Tyrese Gibson napping with co-star Sung Kang on set. Directed by Louis Leterrier, the upcoming sequel to F9 serves as the tenth main installment in the popular Fast & Furious franchise that began back in 2001. While the series has evolved over the years, going from illegal street racing to the heists and high-tech spying introduced in 2011's Fast Five, the films have managed to maintain commercial success and enthusiasm from fans, becoming one of the highest-grossing series to date. Fast X will premiere theatrically on May 19, 2023, and stars Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Ludacris, Charlize Theron, Jordana Brewster, Brie Larson, and Jason Momoa, in addition to Gibson and Kang.

The two actors have appeared in a majority of the franchise's entries, with Gibson playing former convict Roman Pearce and Kang portraying Han Lue, who was presumed dead prior to the events of F9. Both characters are expert street racers and members of Dom Toretto's team, who have grown to become fan favorites over the years. Like many other cast members, Gibson has been updating fans on the current filming process through social media and created increasing anticipation after sharing his reaction to the Fast X script in March. While his comments indicated the new film would take things up a notch, additional posts featuring co-stars like Ludacris or honoring the late Paul Walker and his family have seen a lot of excitement and engagement from fans.

Like Gibson, Diesel has been posting a lot of updates for fans of the Fast & Furious franchise, even revealing the title and logo of the upcoming installment. He has also shared behind-the-scenes content of him with Brie Larson and Jason Momoa, teasing fans about the involvement of these new additions. After the announcement that Justin Lin stepped down as director and some speculation about the production process as a whole, Diesel has maintained a level of positivity when posting about Fast X, continuously calling himself blessed and thanking the fans for their support.

It is clear that all of the returning cast members from the Fast & Furious franchise enjoy creating these films and value their on-set relationships and experiences. Gibson and Kang, having acted in most of the main installments, are another example of just how familial this cast has become. Fans of both actors and their characters can look forward to seeing them on screen again when Fast X hits theaters next summer.
