The producers have invested about 200 million dollars in the development of this film, a high figure, but it is that with the seventh installment the collection amounted to 1.500 million dollars. The saga that began 20 years ago has achieved more than 5,000 worldwide. Now the expected premiere of the ninth installment finally arrives after several delays caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
For this installment to be a success, it is vital that movie theaters are open and have a large attendance in the United States, something that will depend on the rate of vaccination, as in the rest of the countries.
Actresses with Oscar
This new installment of the famous saga led by Vin Diesel will premiere on July 2. Several celebrities will be present in its cast, including John Cena who will play the role of Dom’s brother, as well as Helen Mirren and Charlize Theron, without forgetting the usual Tyrese Gibson, “Ludacris” and Michelle Rodriguez. However, neither Dwayne Johnson nor Jason Statham will be present since the filming of the spin-off ‘Hobbs & Shaw’ coincided with the production of ‘F9’.
In addition, fans of the saga will have the opportunity to see the return of a character that everyone believed dead: Han Seoul-Oh. Sung Kang will once again play one of Dom’s great friends, although it will not be the only return as Jordana Brewster –Mia Toretto–, Lucas Black –Sean Boswell– and Bow Wow –Twinkie– will also be back.
