This article contains spoilers for Fast and Furious 10!
Preliminary trial screenings are underway in America Fast and furious 10 (Fast X). Similar projections are made for virtually all expensive blockbusters. The studio invites a group of viewers, plays the final cut, and monitors the audience’s reaction. More often than not, similar screenings don’t serve as a basis for a major film review, but rather to find out if the audience understands everything and then try to clear up any ambiguities in the editing room. Viewers at such screenings sign a non-disclosure agreement, but usually some of the information is made public anyway.
Fast X has been released to test audiences at least twice in the last week in quick succession. According to insiders, ours is simply “the next one”. Fast & Furious”, with all its positive and negative aspects. What’s different this time is the ending of the movie. The previous statements of the creators have been confirmed, according to which there will be dozens and eleven two halves of a story. All ten storylines end in a cliffhanger and viewers will have to wait until eleven for resolution. According to available information, test audiences weren’t exactly thrilled with it, so the studio will likely try to teach expectant audiences only half of the story in advance so they aren’t unpleasantly surprised in theaters.
And now the first promised spoiler: V Fast and furious 10 might come back Gisele! Two different cuts of the film played during the two test screenings. In one the character appears, in the other not. Apparently it is a situation similar to that of a study Warner Bros. until the last moment it was not certain if in the final cut The Batman keep the Joker as a secondary character, or omit it and present it in full until some time later.

Play the character Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman), which this role helped break through. Since his departure, there has occasionally been speculation about a possible return. The series has gradually lost Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson, so there will certainly be a use for established faces, especially if the tenth and eleventh films are epic ending. According to the information available, Gisele will not appear in any flashbacks, but she has regularly returned – somehow miraculously survived her death, similar to the past Letty (“died” in four, returned in six) and Han (“died” in six , returned in nine).
