From the pitch to the pictures, the Fast Family may be gaining a global sporting icon! Franchise star and producer Vin Diesel has sent the internet into overdrive by teasing that football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo (CR7) has been written into the next installment of the Fast & Furious saga. Diesel shared a photo with the Portuguese great on Instagram, captioned with the bombshell revelation: “Everyone asked, would he be in the Fast mythology… We wrote a role for him…”
While an official casting announcement is still pending from the studio, the news strongly suggests Ronaldo will make his feature film acting debut in the forthcoming “Fast & Furious 11,” which is currently scheduled for an April 2027 release. The highly anticipated film is widely expected to serve as the grand finale to the iconic action franchise, adding monumental star power to its already massive ensemble cast.
The potential involvement of CR7 is the latest twist in his move toward the entertainment industry, having recently announced the launch of his own film studio, UR-MARV. The excitement around his Fast & Furious role was further fueled by a cryptic edit to Diesel’s post, which removed a reference to the 2009 short film Los Bandoleros, suggesting the role is indeed tied to the major cinematic finale.
The casting would not only mark a major career shift for the highest-scoring player in soccer history but would also represent an unprecedented crossover between elite sports and blockbuster cinema. The Cristiano Ronaldo Fast & Furious partnership guarantees that the final ride for Dominic Toretto’s crew will be one of the most talked-about events in 2027.
