The Fast and Furious 9 in the Fast and Furious franchise is again rescheduled to May 2021. This is done after many delays have already taken place due to COVID-19.
The Fast and Furious 9, the next film from Universal that is titled F9 has been rescheduled again. The movie is now set to be released in May. It will be released on 28th May 2021.
With the latest James Bond movie of MGM, No Time To Die, having been moved to F9’s prior date that is 2nd April 2021. F9 is now reportedly given a new date of its release, reported by THR.
Like many other tentpole movies that are meant to hit the theaters in 2020, F9 has faced many delays because of the pandemic. At the beginning of the year, Universal was the first to change the date of its major film’s release, by pushing the Fast and Furious 9 schedule to April 2021.
Since then, many other movies have been delayed. Some of them have been stacked up due to the further delays being required as the corona continues to shut down the theaters.
The shifting schedule often affects one film to take the space which another had held, prompting another shift in dates.
The full summary of Fast and Furious 9 (F9) follows
“No matter how fast you are, no one outruns their past.
Vin Diesel’s Dom Toretto is leading a quiet life off the grid with Letty and his son, little Brian, but they know that danger always lurks just over their peaceful horizon. This time, that threat will force Dom to confront the sins of his past if he’s going to save those he loves most. His crew joins together to stop a world-shattering plot led by the most skilled assassin and high-performance driver they’ve ever encountered: a man who also happens to be Dom’s forsaken brother, Jakob (John Cena, next year’s The Suicide Squad).
Fast and Furious 9 sees the return of Justin Lin as director, who helmed the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth chapters of the series when it transformed into a global blockbuster. The action hurtles around the globe—from London to Tokyo, from Central America to Edinburgh, and from a secret bunker in Azerbaijan to the teeming streets of Tbilisi. Along the way, old friends will be resurrected, old foes will return, history will be rewritten, and the true meaning of family will be tested like never before.”
F9 is directed by Justin Lin and stars Vin Diesel, John Cena, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Jordana Brewster, Nathalie Emmanuel, and Sung Kang, with Helen Mirren, Charlize Theron, and Cardi B. The movie arrives in theaters on May 28, 2021.
