According to The Hollywood Reporter, Eastwood will reprise his role as Little Nobody in the film, a character that first appeared in Fate of the Furious and is a government agent who can be seen with his boss, Kurt Russell’s Mr. Nobody. In the eighth film, Little Nobody helps the crew of Dominic Toretto find Cipher (Charlize Theron), a notorious cyberterrorist who is attempting to initiate a nuclear war. The report didn’t note whether or not Russell would be returning, however.
The return of Eastwood marks the return of yet another character from past entries in the Fast & Furious franchise. Late last month, it was also announced that Charlie Theron would be returning to the film as Cipher. A ton of newcomers are also set to make their appearance in the upcoming film, including Jason Momoa, Daniela Melchoir, and Alan Ritchson.
Fast X is now being directed by Transporter director Louis Leterrier, who took over the role from Justin Lin after Lin suddenly exited the project due to creative differences. The film is written by Lin and Dan Mazeau, with Lin still attached as a producer.
Even though the official cast hasn’t been announced, it’s highly likely that franchise alums Vin Diesel, Tyrese Gibson, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Ludacris, Nathalie Emmanuel, and Sung Kang will reprise their respective roles.
The tenth installment will feature the additions of franchise newcomers Jason Momoa (Aquaman), Daniela Melchior (The Suicide Squad), and Brie Larson (Captain Marvel), with Momoa expected to portray the antagonist.
