Everything's bigger in the Fast and Furious franchise, including the previews. Our first look at Fast X comes in the form of a jumbo-sized, nearly four-minute long trailer. The penultimate installment of the hugely successful action franchise comes on May 19, and this first look checks all the boxes: dialog about the importance of family, expensive-looking vehicles exploding, a slew of international setpieces, and Vin Diesel wearing a mechanic’s shirt.

Beginning with Rita Moreno, debuting in the franchise as Abuela Toretto, delivering an emotional speech about, you guessed it, family, the trailer introduces Jason Momoa’s Dante, who is poised to be Fast X’s big bad (alongside Charlize Theron’s Cipher). As the trailer makes clear, Dante is related to Hernan Reyes, the drug kingpin played by Joaquim de Almeida in the series seminal 2011 entry Fast Five. Dante is out for revenge and is targeting Dom’s family, including his son Brian, now aged up to an eight-year-old.
