'Fast X' Cameos: All the Surprise Appearances in the Star-Studded 'Fast & Furious' Sequel ,
Fast X is here — and Vin Diesel's box-office topping action franchise is upping the ante for the 10th time.
The new action-packed sequel meets the series' ensemble cast of characters as Dominic Toretto (Diesel) is pitted against a new antagonist, Dante, played by Jason Momoa.
The character is introduced as intent on revenge after feeling wronged by Toretto by the events of Fast Five, in which his father — that movie's villain — is defeated at the hands of the series' main characters.
On top of returning performances from series regulars Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Nathalie Emmanuel, Tyrese Gibson and Ludacris, the movie contains a significant number of cameos from other stars.
Read on to find out everything to know about each of the cameos included in the tenth Fast and Furious installment.
Pete Davidson
Fresh off his hidden cameo in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, comedian Pete Davidson appears in Fast X during a scene at an internet café in London, where Ramses (Nathalie Emmanuel) makes a deal with a computer expert with bleach-blond hair.
British newspaper The Sun originally reported 29-year-old Davidson's casting back in June 2022.
Dwayne Johnson
Despite previously saying he was done with the franchise, Dwayne Johnson — a.k.a. Luke Hobbs — appears in Fast X during a mid-credits scene. Johnson's cameo was first reported by The Wrap last Friday.
Fast X director Louis Leterrier told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview regarding the film's cameos that he was able to get Johnson to return after showing the actor the film.
"We sort of looked at each other from across the room and winked a few months back, saying, 'We should work together,' " he told the outlet. "And then I had this idea and I presented it to the producers and the studio."
"And then we reached out to Dwayne and his team and said, 'Just come and watch the movie. You have to love the movie first,' " he added. "So he came to see the movie and really loved it, and then we started talking."
Gal Gadot
Gal Gadot's character Gisele Yashar previously appeared in 2009's Fast & Furious and 2013's Fast & Furious 6. Though she hasn't been seen since then, Gisele — who appeared in deleted scenes for the seventh installment — reappears to save Letty (Rodriguez) and Cipher (Theron) at the end of the film.
"Frankly, as a fan, I could not conceive continuing the franchise without either Dwayne or Gal Gadot," Leterrier told THR while speaking about the film. "This franchise was built by actors and characters."
The director went on to say that he is "the happiest fan in the world" after bringing Gadot's character back to the franchise.
"I was lucky enough to see Gal Gadot and give her a big hug and a thank you at the end of the shoot. That was a highlight for me," he told the outlet. "I was lucky enough to direct one commercial with her, and I saw the power of Gal Gadot for 30 seconds. So, now that
