Back in 2017, Michelle Rodriguez declared that she’s done with the Fast And Furious series unless the producers commit showing “some love to the women of the franchise on the next one,” a reference to the fact that the series has a bad habit of killing off its female characters or leaving them on the sidelines while the bros experience character growth (or at least the Fast And Furious equivalent) and the coolest stunts/fights. However, just a few months later, Rodriguez didn’t seem all that committed to the stance she had seemed so firm about. At that time, she noted that she had spoken to Vin Diesel about her concerns, and she confessed that she didn’t really want to walk away as much as she just wanted to make it clear how serious she was about the series’ need to add dimension to its female characters.
