By far, out of all of them, the first one is my favorite....but I'll still most likely go to see this one too. I never pass up a chance to see Vin Diesel (that is when he's not in a silly film)

Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson Universal Pictures It seemed like "The Fast and Furious" movie franchise had run out of gas, but then 2009's "Fast & Furious" was a surprise hit, becoming the highest-grossing film of the series with a gross of $359 million worldwide.

Since bringing Vin Diesel and Paul Walker from the original worked so well for the fourth movie, it was only natural that they'd team up again for the fifth. They're back in the next installment called "Fast Five," and this time, they will be joined by cast members from each of the previous movies.

But if one muscle-bound bruiser with a shaved head wasn't enough for you, "Fast Five" ups the ante with the addition of Dwayne Johnson. Watch the brand new trailer, and read on to find out who is returning and how the artist formerly known as "The Rock" fits in.

Diesel and Walker, along with costar Jordana Brewster, reunited after eight years for "Fast & Furious," and they all return for "Fast Five." Michelle Rodriguez, the other holdover from the original film, is not in this new one because -- SPOILER ALERT -- she was killed in the last movie. "Fast Five" picks up where the previous movie left off, with those three on the run after breaking Diesel out of prison.

Joining them from the second installment, "2 Fast 2 Furious," are Tyrese Gibson and Chris "Ludacris" Bridges. Sung Kang, who starred in the third movie "Tokyo Drift," is back as well. Kang also appeared in "Fast & Furious," even though his character died in movie #3. Chronologically, the events of "Tokyo Drift" take place after "Fast Five" (which may explain the absence of "Drift" stars Lucas Black and Bow Wow). Plus, Tego Calderon and Gal Gadot, who were added to the series in "Fast & Furious," reprise their roles as well.

The big addition to this chapter of the series is, of course, Dwayne Johnson. After finding success in a number of family films, Johnson has been trying to re-establish himself as an action star. His recent attempt, the similarly titled but unrelated "Faster," underperformed at the box office, so far earning just $21 million. In that movie, he was a hard-driving ex-convict pursued by the authorities, but in "Fast Five" he's the one doing the chasing. He plays a federal agent who is on the trail of Diesel and Walker in Rio de Janiero, Brazil.

"Fast Five" is going to get an early start on the summer movie season, opening on April 29th, 2011.

^^ so in this new film,they're bringing back most of the characters from the previous films.It's interesting that the events of 'Toyko Drift' take place after 'Fast Five',which may confuse fans who are trying to keep up with all this,lol.

I know right...but since they are saying that "Fast Five's" timeline is after the "Tokyo Drift" film then where does "Fast & Furious" fit in? I mean I guess to say that "Fast & Furious" had to have occurred before Tokyo Drift too then, right? Otherwise, they could say that "Fast & Furious" is technically the last film (in regards to the timeline) and still could've included Michelle Rodriguez in "Fast Five".

He's lousy in bed? That's ok...I'm willing to be a patient teacher.

I dunno who The Fast is but I doubt he's faster than Grandmaster Flash. How he stole his group is beyond me.

yeah I heard they were really angry about that!

Where's Bow Wow? I mean the Rock is Beautiful, but Bow Wow is essential

then it would not be the 'Fast Five' it would be the 'Quick Six'... and that is ruins the 'FAST' thing.

I hung out with him at a bar when I was studying abroad in Prague. He was a bit of an ass, but cool. He bought rounds for all my friends. He was there with probably the most physically attractive woman I have seen in my life.

Well, there goes my chance.

It's confusing,but.....Bow Wow appeared in the third film 'Tokyo Drift'.The events in the new movie take place before 'Tokyo Drift',so Bow Wow's character would be out of place in the new film.
