Vin Diesel has thrilled fans worldwide by confirming that soccer legend Cristiano Ronaldo will appear in the final installment of the Fast & Furious franchise. The announcement came via Diesel’s Instagram on December 15, 2025, where he shared a photo with Ronaldo and captioned: “Everyone asked, would he be in the Fast mythology… I gotta tell you he is a real one. We wrote a role for him… @cristiano.” This marks Ronaldo’s potential Hollywood debut in Fast X: Part 2 (also referred to as Fast 11 or the series finale), directed by Louis Leterrier and slated for an April 2027 release.
The Long-Awaited Crossover
Diesel, who plays Dominic Toretto and produces the series, revealed the role was crafted specifically for the Portuguese star, known for his unparalleled athleticism and global appeal.
