Michelle Rodriguez has been fangirling with her Fast X costar Jason Momoa. The actress recently shared her love for her co-worker while praising his looks. “Oh, hot damn, right? Like, what’s up with that? It’s something primal that happens to me when I see that boy. It’s some ooga-chaka that comes out of me,” the 44-year-old star told Variety during the movie’s trailer launch event in Los Angeles. “I become a barbarian. Like, my D&D character comes out, like, ‘Yo, what’s up with that?’”
Although Momoa’s character in the last installment of the franchise is described as “evil, sadistic and androgynous,” for the Dominican descent actress, he is not all that. “Well, I don’t know about the androgynous part. I can’t picture him in drag, but we can try. That aside, he does it all with a smirk, which is interesting,” she told the publication.

I don’t know what’s up with that.”
Momoa joins the film as Dante, a character that is tied to Fast Five and is seeking revenge and destroy Dom’s family by kidnapping the son he shares with Letty Ortiz-Toretto (Michelle Rodriguez).

The EGOT winner joins the movie as the fashionable Abuela Toretto. The trailer shows the living legend hosting the Fast and Furious family at an outdoor dinner. The clip also features a heartwarming moment alongside Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel).

You wanted to return to racing and what that feels like. You wanted to return to the cars that made this franchise what it is,” Diesel revealed during a screening of the Fast X trailer. “The support that you have given us, you have allowed us to be your family.”
The movie is set to hit theaters on May 19, 2023.
