Ahead of Fast X, all the prior Fast and the Furious films are receiving modern-style trailers. The next installment in the fast-paced, high-octane franchise starring Vin Diesel is set to release this spring. Fast X is the penultimate chapter of the main Fast and the Furious saga, as the eleventh film in the franchise is set to bring the story of Dominic Toretto (Diesel) and his family to a close with a two-part finale.
Now, the official The Fast Saga YouTube channel has begun sharing "Legacy" trailers of prior films in the Fast and the Furious franchise ahead of Fast X's first trailer's debut.
At the time of writing, trailers for both the original 2001 The Fast and the Furious and its sequel, 2003's 2 Fast 2 Furious, have been uploaded. Each video is inspired by modern trailers, imagining how the films would be promoted if they were released today.
These Trailers Capture How Fast & Furious Movies Have Evolved Over The Years
After just over 22 years since the original Fast and the Furious was released in theaters, Fast X marks the beginning of the end for Dominic Toretto's crew and their high-speed adventures. With the first part of the ambitious two-part finale drawing closer, the newly edited "Legacy" trailers give audiences an opportunity to reflect on the franchise's history and see how the series has developed. It's clear how Toretto's team has grown from a crew taking part in small-scale heists and street races to going up against cyberterrorists and submarines.
In the first film, Toretto and his crew began as suspects behind a number of heists that Paul Walker's LAPD cop Brian O'Conner went undercover to thwart. As the series continued, they began taking on more ambitious jobs, with new foes such as Dwayne Johnson's Luke Hobbs and the Shaw family providing more danger. By the time of 2015's Furious 7, Toretto's crew was a group of heroes working alongside authority figures, placing them in a more traditionally heroic role against threats who put the balance of world powers at stake. But despite the increased risk, the Fast and the Furious series has maintained a core theme of found families.
As familiar faces return for Fast X, the penultimate chapter of the Fast and the Furious saga marks a major turning point in the series' history. As such, the "Legacy" trailers are well-timed and help reframe the earlier installments through a modern lens with a new glimpse of the tenth film on the horizon. As the series draws closer to the end, the Fast and the Furious' "Legacy" trailers are the perfect way to celebrate and look back on Dom's journey so far.
