The next American action movie F9, often referred to as Fast & Furious 9, is directed by Justin Lin, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Daniel Casey. It is the follow-up to 2017’s The Fate of the Furious, the ninth major entry, and the tenth full-length movie in the Fast & Furious series to be released in total. F9, which stars Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, John Cena, Jordana Brewster, Nathalie Emmanuel, Sung Kang, Helen Mirren, and Charlize Theron, is the first movie since Fast & Furious 6 (2013) to be directed by Lin and the first since 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003) not to be written by Chris Morgan.
F9 was originally scheduled for worldwide release in April 2019, but was delayed several times, first due to the releases of Hobbs & Shaw (2019) and No Time to Die (2021), and then the COVID-19 pandemic. It is now officially scheduled to world premiere in Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan on May 19, 2021, and is set to be released in the United States on June 25, 2021.
