Vin Diesel reveals that a role in the Fast and Furious finale was written for football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Fast and Furious franchise has always thrived on spectacle, surprise cameos, and global appeal, and now Vin Diesel has revealed that one of the world’s biggest sports icons was nearly part of its final chapter. The actor and producer have confirmed that a role in the upcoming Fast and Furious finale was specifically written for Cristiano Ronaldo, sparking widespread excitement and speculation among fans.
Diesel had shared a photo with Ronaldo on Instagram. The caption read, “Everyone asked, would he be in the Fast mythology… I gotta tell you, he is a real one,” Diesel wrote. “We wrote a role for him…”
Speaking about the long-running action saga, Diesel shared that the filmmakers had envisioned Ronaldo as part of the franchise’s endgame, acknowledging the football superstar’s unmatched global reach and magnetic screen presence. According to Diesel, the idea was to introduce a character that would feel larger than life, fitting seamlessly into the franchise’s adrenaline-fuelled universe of speed, family, and loyalty.
Ronaldo, one of the most recognisable athletes on the planet, has previously shown interest in entertainment and has made cameo appearances in commercials and promotional content, making the possibility of a big-screen debut especially tantalising for fans.
Although details about the scrapped role remain under wraps, Diesel hinted that it was designed to complement the franchise’s themes rather than serve as a novelty appearance. The actor has repeatedly emphasised that the final instalment aims to honour the emotional journey of the characters while delivering the high-octane action fans expect.
As anticipation builds for Fast and Furious 11, fans continue to speculate whether Ronaldo could still make a surprise appearance or collaborate with the franchise in some other capacity. For now, Diesel’s revelation stands as one of the most intriguing “what ifs” surrounding the blockbuster series, adding another layer of curiosity to its highly anticipated conclusion.
