Tom Cruise is associated with action flicks for a long time. Having a blockbuster franchise of his own in the form of Mission Impossible, Cruise has established himself as a prominent action hero.
Now looks like his peers want him to join another prominent action franchise- Fast and Furious. Recently, in an interview, the Fast X star Charlize Theron expressed her interest in watching the Ethan Hunt fame in the $6.6B franchise.

The Fast X is officially marketed as the beginning to the end of the franchise. It was reported that Vin Diesel wants Robert Downey Jr. in Fast and Furious 11 where the Iron Man star’s character will act as an “antithesis” of Dominick Toretto. Tom Cruise can also be another popular name to join the conclusion of the action franchise.

Recently, in an interview with Access Hollywood, Charlize Theron spoke about if she would be interested in watching Tom Cruise entering the franchise. The discussion was raised when the interviewer asked the actress about her views on the audience’s reaction after Vin Diesel recently met the Valkyrie star at the inaugural F1 Miami Grand Prix. To this, Theron replied:
“It should happen. I mean, why not? I mean, was there an invite sent? Like, I mean, send him an invite.”
Further, the Atomic Blonde actress added that if the fans are sending invites then he can’t definitely say no to them- “Then it’s done.” You can watch the full interview here:

Dwayne Johnson to return in Fast X
Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel in Fast 5
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who repeatedly claimed to have no interest in re-joining the franchise after his long-time public feud with Vin Diesel, seemed to have worked out something between them to give the fans a glimpse of every character they have seen in the franchise to date.
Recently, Diesel also revealed that Universal requested them to expand the main series to 12 films, thereby making the finale in three parts.
Luke Hobbs reportedly makes his appearance in the post-credit scene of Fast X and according to many, it can also open the doors for a sequel to the spin-off Hobbs & Shaw series.
The return of DSS Luke Hobbs makes sense as his character debuted in Fast Five and was an integral part of the story. Fast X also shares a direct connection with the fifth movie as Jason Momoa, who plays Dante Reyes, is the son of Hernan Reyes, the main antagonist of the fifth movie.
