Grab a Corona and rev your engines for a spoiler-filled refresher about this soap opera on wheels. In the tenth Fast & Furious film, Jason Momoa plays Dante Reyes, son of Brazilian kingpin Hernán Reyes, whose check Dom and Brian cashed with his own bank vault in Fast Five. Dante wants revenge, so he teams with cyberterrorist Cipher (Charlize Theron) to take down Dom. Criminal mastermind of The Fate of the Furious, Cipher, recruited Dom's long-lost brother, Jakob (John Cena), for F9. But Furious bad guys love becoming Fast friends, so Jakob is back in the family for X. Brie Larson joins the good guys' side as Tess, who we can assume is the sister of Brian O'Conner. Brian was played by Paul Walker until his untimely death during the making of Furious 7. F&F has yet to explore Brian's side of the family beyond glimpses of his children with Dom's sister, Mia (Jordana Brewster). And speaking of kids, Dom's son, also named Brian (Leo Abelo Perry), is back and in the line of fire. Brian's mother, Elena (Elsa Pataky), was the former Rio Military Police officer who joined Dom's crew in Fast Five before being murdered by Cipher's henchman in the 8th film, The Fate of the Furious. Dom has been raising Lil Brian with the once-dead, then once-amnesia'd Letty (Michelle Rodriguez). He'll also have an assist from his grandma, Abuelita Toretto, being played by the iconic Rita Moreno. Moreno joins new castmates Daniela Melchior, who plays a Brazilian street racer with a connection to Dom, and perhaps with a connection to Elena, who was also from Brazil. And Alan Ritchson, who plays Aimes, apparently a replacement for Dwayne Johnson's Hobbs. Johnson could not be convinced to return to the F&F franchise despite Vin Diesel's public pleas. Tej (Ludacris) and Roman (Tyrese Gibson) return from outer space to find their place in this wild world, while Han (Sung Kang) looks to settle the score with Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) and his mom, Queenie (Helen Mirren). Fast X hits theaters in May.

All About the 'Fast X' Family

Brie Larson has built an impressive career as an acclaimed television actress, rising feature film star and emerging recording artist. A native of Sacramento, Brie started studying drama at the early age of 6, as the youngest student ever to attend the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco. She starred in one of Disney Channel's most watched original movies, Right on Track (2003), as well as the WB's Raising Dad (2001) and MGM's teen comedy Sleepover (2004) - all before graduating from middle school.

Brie's work includes the coming-of-age drama Tanner Hall (2009) and the dark comedy, Just Peck (2009), with Marcia Cross and Keir Gilchrist. She earned critical praise for her role in the independent feature, Remember the Daze (2007) (aka "The Beautiful Ordinary"), singled out by Variety as the "scene stealer" of the film, opposite Amber Heard and Leighton Meester.

Brie garnered considerable acclaim for her series regular role of "Kate", Toni Collette's sarcastic and rebellious daughter, in Showtime's breakout drama United States of Tara (2009), created by Academy Award-winning writer Diablo Cody and based on an original idea by Steven Spielberg.

She starred in The Trouble with Bliss (2011) opposite Michael C. Hall, playing a young girl out to seduce him while, in turn, teaching him more about his own life. She also starred in Universal's Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010) and Noah Baumbach's Greenberg (2010). In Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010), Brie played rock star "Envy Adams", former flame of Michael Cera, and in Greenberg (2010), she starred as a young temptress trying to flirt with Ben Stiller, a New Yorker traveling West to try to figure out his life.

In addition to her talents as an actress, Brie has simultaneously nurtured an ever-growing musical career. At 13, Brie landed her first record deal at Universal Records with Tommy Mottola, who signed her sight-unseen. Her first release in 2005 led to a nationwide tour.
