Global football icon Cristiano Ronaldo is set to make his Hollywood debut, officially becoming part of the Fast & Furious universe with his inclusion in Fast X: Part 2. The move marks a high-profile crossover between international sport and one of cinema’s most successful action franchises.
The news was confirmed by members of the Fast & Furious cast, who welcomed Ronaldo into the fold on social media. Actor Tyrese Gibson shared a post from the film’s set, hailing the footballer’s arrival and suggesting that the franchise had reached a new global milestone with his addition. Franchise star Vin Diesel also acknowledged Ronaldo’s involvement, revealing that the filmmakers had developed a role specifically for him after fans repeatedly speculated about his entry into the Fast universe.
Since its debut in 2001, the Fast & Furious series has evolved from a street-racing film into a worldwide action phenomenon, known for its extravagant stunts, fast-paced storytelling and recurring emphasis on loyalty and family. Over the years, the franchise has expanded to ten main films and several spin-offs, collectively earning more than $7 billion at the global box office.
Fast X: Part 2 is expected to serve as the concluding chapter of the core storyline, making Ronaldo’s casting particularly notable. He joins an ensemble that includes long-standing franchise faces such as Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Ludacris and Michelle Rodriguez.
Scheduled for release in April 2027, the film has already generated significant anticipation. With Ronaldo stepping into a major cinematic role, audiences are keen to see how the football legend will translate his global star power into the franchise’s final, action-packed instalment.
