"Fast & Furious 10" (Fast X) is ready to hit theaters on May 19, while the current top Vietnamese box office film, "Flip Side 6", is showing signs of cooling down.
Vin Diesel is the mainstay of the Fast & Furious franchise.
Fast & Furious is one of the most successful film series in the world. Through 9 parts, this film brand has received love for more than two decades.
The new part Fast & Furious 10 (original title: Fast X) is released in Vietnam while Ly Hai's film is dominating the box office.
Shaking the throne because of Fast X?
Although it is far ahead of its competitors like Con Nhót nhớt chồng and Guardians of the Galaxy 3, Lat mat 6: The fateful ticket is showing signs of cooling down.
After more than a month of release, the revenue on May 15 of Lat mat was only about 2 billion VND (according to Box Office Vietnam).
Meanwhile, Fast & Furious is a strong brand with Vietnamese audiences. The proof is that F9: Legend of Speed (part 9 of Fast & Furious), although released in theaters half a year after the world market and widely shown on pirated websites, still topped the Vietnamese box office upon its release.
A scene from Fast X
Regarding the new Fast X, according to The Wrap's report, the production budget is up to 340 million USD, approaching the 356 million USD budget of the blockbuster Avengers: Endgame (2019) from Marvel and is ranked among the most expensive film projects in history.
The new film's plot is related to Fast Five (2011), when Dom (Vin Disel) and his team killed drug lord Hernan Reyes in Rio De Janeiro. What they didn't expect was that Reyes' son, Dante (Jason Momoa), witnessed everything and spent 12 years planning revenge.
Dante, however, isn't alone. This time, he teams up with the notorious cyber-terrorist Cipher (Charlize Theron) to take down Dom. Cipher is the criminal mastermind of The Fate of the Furious, and is behind many of the plots in the other films.
In Fast X, the audience also meets the villain Cipher again with new plots.
Fast & Furious characters return
Since the release of the Fast & Furious 10 trailer, audiences have been surprised to see the return of the cast of Fast & Furious characters. There are a series of impressive actors such as Michelle Rodriguez as Dom's wife Letty Ortiz, Roman Pearce (Tyrese Gibson), Tej Parker (Chris "Ludacris" Bridges)...
The powerful woman Magdalene "Queenie" Shaw - Deckard's mother, played by Helen Mirren and rapper Cardi B - will return. Scott Eastwood - the actor who made an impression in part 8 as Little Nobody - returns after being absent in the last part.
In addition to the old cast, Fast X attracted attention when announcing a series of new actors. "Captain Marvel" Brie Larson will appear as Tess - an agent working alongside Dom.

Alan Ritchson joins as Agent Aimes - the new leader of the Mr. Nobody agency. In addition, the beautiful Daniela Melchior will play the female driver Isabel who has connections to Dom's past.
Accordingly, the gathering of Hollywood stars and the large budget have made many people believe that the blockbuster Fast X has enough reasons to usurp the international box office throne. In Vietnam, the film has the potential to end the top days of Ly Hai's Lat mat 6: The ticket of destiny.
