Foxx Almost F&F Villain, Momoa's Dante Preferred
27 Nov, 2025
Summary
- Jamie Foxx was considered for a villain role in F9.
- This potential role was planned for a post-credits scene.
- The writer preferred Jason Momoa's Dante over Foxx's villain.
Jamie Foxx, known for his action roles, was nearly cast as a villain in the Fast & Furious franchise. An alternate post-credits scene for F9 was conceptualized featuring Foxx in this capacity.
Screenwriter Daniel Casey revealed that this idea was ultimately scrapped. He expressed satisfaction with this decision, believing that Foxx's involvement would have detracted from Jason Momoa's impactful portrayal of Dante Reyes in "Fast X."
Casey and director Justin Lin ultimately chose a different direction for the F9 post-credits scene. The focus shifted to resolving Han Lue's storyline, paving the way for Dante's revenge narrative, which is expected to conclude in the upcoming "Fast & Furious 11."
