The last few years have seen some major faces from the DC Extended Universe also pop up in the Fast & Furious franchise. Just a few months prior to debuting as Peacemaker in The Suicide Squad, John Cena caused trouble as Jakob Tortetto in F9, and we’re now less than a month away from Fast X featuring Aquaman actor Jason Momoa as Dante Reyes, the main antagonist who has a significant connection to Fast Five. Well, now among the things we know about Fast & Furious 11 is that another major DC talent is coming aboard for it, though this one will work behind the scenes rather than on camera.
Christina Hodson, who wrote Birds of Prey and The Flash (the next of 2023’s upcoming DC movies), as well as the scrapped Batgirl, has signed on to co-write the final entry in The Fast Saga with The Cloverfield Paradox’s Oren Uziel. As reported by Deadline, Universal Pictures is looking to feature “some new voices” for this climactic entry, and while Hodson and Uziel have never worked together before now, they do have “a close relationship and share office space,” so it was decided that this was a good project for which to bring them together. This news follows less than a week after it was confirmed that director Louis Leterrier will be back to helm Fast & Furious 11 after taking over directorial duties from Justin Lin on Fast X.
