With/F9: The Fast Saga releasing in India in a matter of weeks, fans are thrilled to witness the high-octane drama unfold again in the cinemas. In the movie, Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto and Michelle Rodriguez’s Letty are content with a quiet family life off the grid with young Brian. But as we have it, Dom’s past comes back, resurfacing old wounds in a world filled with danger and action.
Fans are in for a treat in the upcoming film with the arrival of Dom’s brother Jakob, played by none other than John Cena. On being asked why was Cena chosen for the role of Dom’s brother, Vin Diesel responds, “I’m multicultural, so you could have picked anyone to be my brother. As we were developing the story, it was great fun to be able to revisit a past that pre-dates the first film. Once we started getting into casting, that’s when the anxiety set in, that’s when it was, like, ‘it could go any of a million different directions!’ There was actual anxiety. There are so many great, talented actors, but who would be right to play that type of archetype, that type of character that has to do so much in this film, because it’s a very intense role, all the while representing what our collective idea of a Toretto to be?”
