Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez among the stars at LA party ahead of trailer release of Fast X

Fast & Furious franchise mainstays Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson and Ludacris were among the stars in attendance on Thursday at L.A. Live in Los Angeles at a party commemorating Friday’s release of the first trailer for the upcoming Fast X.

Diesel was clad in a black sleeveless top that read ‘For Paul,’ in honor of his late friend and Fast costar Paul Walker, who died in a 2013 car crash.

Diesel, who plays the role of Dominic Toretto in the cinematic series, rounded out his ensemble with white jeans with horizontal zippers and black boots, with shaded sunglasses.

Rodriguez, who plays Letty Ortiz in the film franchise, beamed as she posed in a sheer navy blue button-up top with white pants and pointy toe black heels. She wore her dark way locks down on the winter evening.

Also snapped at the event were Gibson, who plays Roman; Sung Kang, who plays Han; and Ludacris in the role of Tej. The film’s director Director Louis Leterrier posed with the ensemble of actors at the event.

The launch event also included displays of vehicles seen in the action film series and immersive photo opportunities, Universal said in a news release.

At the event, the studio said, ‘The stars will reveal behind-the-scenes stories of the franchise’s most iconic moments, unveil remastered legacy versions of the Fast Saga’s most unforgettable trailers, announce Fast X’s top-secret new cast members (with a surprise guest), and then, for the first time, debut an exclusive look at the Fast X trailer.’

The event, which was hosted by Maria Menounos, was ahead of the debut of the trailer for the movie Friday at 8 a.m. PST.

The tagline for the poster read, ‘The End Of The Road Begins’.

Vin shared the poster on Instagram for his roughly 87.7 million followers.
