"Fast Forever" gears up for the finale

Cast in Prime Video crime thriller "Bishop"

Around the franchise's 25th-anniversary screening at Cannes, Brewster spoke about wanting Mia to "drive her story" with more agency in Fast Forever, her hope that the production would lean on practical stunts over green screen, and keeping Paul Walker's memory alive in the send-off. She also welcomed Dwayne Johnson's return: "the more the merrier."
