Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a popular Wikipedia page every day.

With 325,866 views on Thursday, 18 May 2023 our article of the day is Fast X.

Fast X (also known as Fast & Furious 10) is a 2023 American action film directed by Louis Leterrier from a screenplay by Dan Mazeau and Justin Lin, based on a story by Mazeau, Lin, and Zach Dean. It is the sequel to F9 (2021), the tenth main installment, and the eleventh installment overall in the Fast & Furious franchise. It stars Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto alongside an ensemble supporting cast including Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, John Cena, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jordana Brewster, Sung Kang, Scott Eastwood, Daniela Melchior, Alan Ritchson, Helen Mirren, Brie Larson, Rita Moreno, Jason Statham, Jason Momoa, and Charlize Theron. In the film, Dom must protect his team and family from Dante Reyes (Momoa), the son of drug lord Herman Reyes, who seeks revenge against Dom for his father's death and loss of his family's fortune.

With the tenth film planned since 2014, and a two-part finale planned since October 2020, Lin was confirmed to return to direct with the main cast attached. The film's official title was revealed when principal photography began in April 2022. Lin left as director later that month, citing creative differences, though he retained writing and producing credits. Leterrier was then hired as his replacement a week later, and performed several uncredited rewrites to the screenplay. Longtime franchise composer Brian Tyler returned to score the film. With an estimated production budget of $340 million, it is the eighth-most expensive film ever made. Filming lasted until that August, taking place in London, Rome, Turin, Lisbon, and Los Angeles.

Fast X premiered at The Space Cinema Roma Moderno in Rome on May 12, 2023. It was first released in several European countries on May 17, and in the United States on May 19, by Universal Pictures. The film received mixed reviews from critics, though Momoa's performance was praised. A sequel is scheduled to be released in 2025.
