Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, John Cena, Charlize Theron, Helen Mirren, Rita Moreno, and a host of other celebrities strutted down a red carpet that had been laid out in the Forum’s Temple of Venus against the backdrop of the Colosseum on Friday as part of the “Fast X” movie’s star-studded “Road to Rome” premiere.
The decision to play the 10th edition of the “Fast & Furious” trilogy in the Italian capital celebrated the fact that some of the film’s most high-octane action scenes were shot in Rome and its surrounding areas. (The manufacture also took place in Turin, Northern Italy.)
All the action scenes we did in Rome were real. When we rolled that ball in the streets of Rome, that was a real one-ton ball that we set on fire,” “Fast X” On the red carpet, the film’s director, Louis Leterrier, told Variety.
Along with Meadow Walker, daughter of the late Paul Walker, who makes a cameo in the movie, other “Fast X” stars Jordana Brewster, Sung Kang, Scott Eastwood, Daniela Melchior, Alan Ritchson, Leo Abelo Perry, Brie Larson, Jason Statham, and others were present on the spectacular catwalk before the movie’s public screening in Rome close to The Space multiplex.

See some of the reactions from journalists who saw “Fast X” below:
Caught #FastX last week! It’s a wild, non-stop action thrill ride that delivers the most shocking ending of the franchise, so far. Not perfect (end may divide fans), but it’s been growing on me & I can’t wait to see it again. Universal's def trying to make this its Infinity War. pic.twitter.com/0EWbLNezOi

#FastX belongs to Jason Momoa and his decadent bad guy, Dante Reyes. Fierce and flamboyant, his perilous peacocking adds a sharp edge and some refreshing dark humor. The rest is ludicrousness with clunky elements but it is stupidly entertaining. What the Fast were you expecting? pic.twitter.com/9Xeuj2In7z

#FastX is an entertaining thrill ride. It’s a visual spectacle with some truly incredible stunts and some wildly outrageous moments you’d expect from the Fast franchise, but what Jason Momoa brings to the film as Dante is magic! His performance oozes charisma. pic.twitter.com/UjOlR77aEF

#FastX is utterly ridiculous (I loved every second). Action sequences and one-liners left my face hurting from smiling so much. Momoa is hilarious. Ensemble rocks. Cinema? Please. Peak summer blockbuster? Hell yes. Built for a popcorn-filled big screen experience. @ComicBook pic.twitter.com/5XWLT4daQO

#FastX has a needle drop I've been waiting yrs for. Almost lost it in the theater when it came on. A Jersey staple (of every party/club ever?), crowds are gonna lose it when it plays. Can't believe this was somehow never in the Fast Saga. They know their audience.
