As true Fast and Furious fans will know, Dominic Toretto lives his life a quarter of a mile at a time. The franchise began with street racing, and it's bringing back those drag races with the finish line to the series in sight.
New director Louis Leterrier, joining the franchise for his first film, was keen to take the film back to its roots having been a fan of the series from its inception. After all, there's something nice about the concept of people driving fast against each other for the thrill of it and nothing else, as he told Total Film.
Being a newcomer to the Fast franchise, Momoa expressed his delight at the sheer amount of action and stuntwork that he and his fellow cast of actors were given the freedom to do by themselves. "This is full adrenaline… It rules," said Momoa.
