Fast and Furious… and Cristiano Ronaldo? Vin Diesel teases ‘new role’

Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo might make it to the big screen with a role in the Fast and Furious franchise, American actor Vin Diesel teased.

Vin Diesel, who leads the franchise as Dominic Toretto, said in a recent post on Instagram that a “role was created” for Ronaldo.

“Everyone asked, would he be in the Fast mythology…I gotta tell you he is a real one. We wrote a role for him,” Vin Diesel said in the post tagging Ronaldo and sharing a photo of the two.

Not much is known about the part and Ronaldo himself is yet to confirm the news.

The next film in the popular street racing franchise will be “Fast X: Part 2” and is due in theaters in April 2027, according to Variety magazine. The magazine said that the film is “supposed” to be the final one in the beloved franchise.

Ronaldo plays for Saudi Arabia’s Al Nassr and is one of several global players who have been attracted to the Kingdom in recent years.
