The adrenaline-fueled franchise Fast and Furious is set to make its return via Fast X with new and exciting additions to the family. As one of the newcomers, Brie Larson’s speculated role was finally confirmed by the actress herself during an interview with Total Film. The fans of the Oscar-calibre actress have surely got a lot to look forward to from Larson, who’s also about to make her comeback in Marvel Studios as her iconic hero Captain Marvel.
“Tess is Mr. Nobody's daughter,” Larson revealed her Fast X identity. “She is technically an Agency, but she's kind of a bridge, in a way. She doesn't go along with the way that the Agency's headed now that her father isn't there. She believes in the legacy that her father set up, which is standing with Dom and standing with the Toretto family, and is fighting for that. Dom knows that she has a strong mind and definitely respects that she's gone out of her way to talk to him and wants to build trust. What he asks of Tess is a test. Like, if it's an impossible task, and she can get it done, then that's family for life.”

Kurt Russell plays Mr. Nobody, who first appeared in Furious 7. After the ally of Dom and his family was attacked in the middle of the flight by rogue agents during the events of F9, the fate of Mr. Nobody is currently unknown, and it would probably be up to Larson's Tess to find out. The actress also offered more details about her character, whom most believe would be a good fit for the FF’s extended family.
“I would say Tess is a little bit of a mystery. She is part of the Agency, but she also goes rogue and edges more towards the family side, but that means she has a lot to prove. When Dom gives her an impossible task that's going to require a lot of thought and effort and also is putting herself at risk, she doesn't question it. I think that shows who she is, that she's willing to go to those lengths. She agrees to do it because she wants to show up for this family the way that her father did. She's also really intelligent. Tess plays the game well. She's not afraid of going on her own mission to do what she feels is right in her heart.” she explained.
Fast X is slated for a May 19, 2023, theatrical release.
