No, this isn't the last one. The 11th is still set to be the final, capping off a new Justin Lin trilogy.

This one is gonna end up having more sequels than the Friday the 13th series.

And equally coherent it seems. :lol:

Brie Larson joins:

I am sure her charisma will help to make this series great again!

I am almost 100% certain this is her PR people trying to redeem her image. "Look at her, there with the boys and all!"

She hasn't exactly seen a ton of roles thrust at her since Captain Marvel and all the press fallout.

I think the first movie I saw her in was Don Jon but because that was years before Captain Marvel, I forgot that she was in it. She didn't do much though.

Marvel backed off on the “new face of the MCU” talk so hard, it’s almost not funny. She just straight disappeared after her already briefer than expected appearance in Endgame.

If they had kept that intention, she would have at least popped up as a cameo by now and her next film wouldn’t be burying her name as the lead.

I’m actually surprised if the backlash worked. Maybe not so much political backlash taking effect, but more so a general lack of enthusiasm for the character from fans and social media research is my best guess. Not financially viable to pump her up as the MCU lead, perhaps.

I wonder, is it just, because, like most Copros, they just "talk the talk and don't walk", when it comes to SJW values, or Brie is just so toxic and unlikable that even Mouse media machine has troubles marketing her as a NEW HOTNESS?

The weird thing I notice about both super-hero and Star Wars movies is that when they come out, So-and-So is supposed to always be a Huge Star who can punch their own ticket forever, now... And yet, that doesn't really happen to anyone. Like yeah, people get work but even Downey struggled to maintain any high level of success outside of playing Iron Man.

Larson hasn't been setting the world on fire since Captain Marvel, but to be fair nobody else from the MCU has been "huge" outside of that arena, either. Not a big fan of hers but I think it's unfair to single her out. People have proven that just because they liked you as a Marvel or Star Wars character doesn't mean they will automatically pay to see you in something else. Sometimes yes, but often no.

I guess that's fair. Like, where's all these movies Chris Evans was waiting to go and do but couldn't because of Captain America?

Probably Scarlet Johanssen has always been the one getting consistently the most work outside of the MCU, though I don't think being in the MCU either helped or hurt that workload. Hurt it, if anything.

Remember when Daisy Ridley was supposed to be the next Hot Young Actress and now nobody remembers her name? Actually pretty much only Oscar Isaac managed to do anything noteworthy out of the entire Disney Wars cast, and even then it took a while. Everybody else it's like the whole thing stalled their careers rather than kickstart them.

It's weird to me how that happens but it's so consistent it really makes you think. Not even a new phenomenon. "We LOVED you as _________! But that's kinda all we want to see of you."

Kinda can't blame some of the more "serious" actors for throwing shade at the Big Machine. Like yeah after two or three movies playing Star Wars Guy 43 or Marvel Super-Hero 92 you're set for life, but nobody's gonna care about anything else you do. That must be incredibly frustrating for people who got into acting to... Y'know, act.

As for Ridley, she is not the only one from Star Wars who never got big. I mean, actors who had become big stars after Star Wars are not very numerous: basically only Ford and McGregor. Everyone else either were stars before or ended up in obscurity.

I always figured most of those folks that were passionate about acting go into or even return to theater, While Hollywood is for the hope make it rich types.

Maybe its just perception bias on my part but its crazy how many actors/actresses I look up to see what they are up to and find are involved full time in some random theatre troupe in Toronto or something.

Daaaamn... Justin Lin drops out as director only a week into shooting:

Something really bad must have happened there. Like Vin Diesel ego blowup bad, or something.

He is not part of the family anymore.

Yeesh. That video.

As if anyone could doubt that it was Vin's fault.

Might be 3 parts instead of 2. So we're talking Fast X, Fast 11, and now Fast 12.
