Vin Diesel has welcomed a fellow Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) star Brie Larson best known for her role as Captain Marvel to the Fast & Furious franchise.
Production for the 10th installment in the long-running franchise is gearing up, and the actor/producer made the casting announcement on Instagram, where he shared a picture of himself on the social media site alongside Brie Larson.
“Yeah yeah yeah… you see this angel over my shoulder cracking me up, you say to your self ‘that’s captain Marvel. Clearly there is love and laughter in this image. What you don’t see however, is the character you will be introduced to in Fast 10.
You have no idea how timeless and amazing she will be in our mythology. Beyond her beauty, her intellect… her Oscar, haha is this profound soul who will add something you might not have expected but yearned for. Welcome to the FAMILY Brie.”
This development is coming after Larson revealed that it was a dream of hers to appear in a Fast & Furious movie. She said at the time,
“Please, please tell everybody I would, of course, want to be in a Fast & Furious movie. I’m obsessed. I love them. I think they’re so good. They’re so fun. And they’ve made me appreciate cars. And it is something that should be appreciated. They’re incredible. So, of course, please.”
