Interview
Momoa's role will be of 'very flamboyant bad boy'
Momoa as the antagonist is an attractive imagination indeed! The star is also pretty excited. "I'm gonna go do Fast 10. Do something, small, independent over in London. It's fun, I get to play the bad guy, which I haven't gotten to do for a while. Now, I get to be the bad boy. A very flamboyant bad boy. A little panache!" he said.

What did Diesel say of the franchise's end?
Fast X is the "beginning of the end," as this and the untitled 11th film will mark the culmination of this pretty long-running series. Earlier this year, Diesel had said that it feels "very intense." "I'm approaching the finale of the first saga... that is Fast. It is very intense, although god has brought such incredible talent to assist me in completing this mythology."
