Marvel megastar Brie Larson has publicly announced her love for another blockbuster franchise, saying she is "obsessed" with ‘Fast & Furious’ and would jump at the chance to star in a movie. One of Hollywood's longest-running franchises, the first film, ‘The Fast and the Furious’, was released in 2001. Twenty years later, the 9th film, titled F9, was released in 2021, with almost the entire original cast reprising their roles. Sadly, in a tragic turn of fate, the franchise famously lost one of its main co-stars, Paul Walker, in a car crash in 2013.
Brie Larson was shot to star-studded renown when cast as the lead in Marvel's Captain Marvel, released in 2019. However, Larson began appearing on small screens across the country when she became the brand ambassador for major automotive brand Nissan. Since March 0f 2020, she has appeared in several television spots behind the wheel of the brand's sportiest rides. She's currently set to star in a Captain Marvel sequel titled, ‘The Marvels’.
The amount of test driving she gets to do as the spokesperson has given Larson a newfound appreciation for car culture. Being recently interviewed by Uproxx to speak about her latest Nissan Super Bowl ad, Larson expressed her love of the Fast & Furious films.
The Fast & Furious films are known for their massive ensemble casts, with each new installment adding more and more stars to their repertoire. Larson would only be the latest in a long line of female A-listers to be featured among the explosive cast, such as Charlize Theron, Michelle Rodriguez, and Helen Mirren. 2023 will see the release of Fast & Furious 10, with an 11th and final installment set to bow shortly after that, bringing the long-running franchise to an end.
