The highly anticipated sequal to Fast and the Furious 8, Fast and the Furious 9 has pushed back its theatrical release date by a year Universal Studios.
Universal Studios, the company behind the “Fast & Furious” franchise, made the decision because of the impact that the fast-moving coronavirus is having on the global economy and the distribution landscape. Theaters remain closed in Italy, South Korea and China, where the virus has hit hardest. There’s also a mounting sense that some theaters will close in the U.S. as the outbreak continues to spread. “Fast 9” will now open globally in April 2021 and in the U.S. on April 2.
Vin Diesel made the announcement on social media.
“We feel all the love and the anticipation you have for the next chapter in our saga,” he wrote. “That’s why it’s especially tough to let you know that we have to move the release date of the film. It’s become clear that it won’t be possible for all of our fans around the world to see the film this May. While we know there is disappointment in having to wait a little while longer, this move is made with the safety of everyone as our foremost consideration,”
“Fast 9” was scheduled to be released in the United States on May 22, 2020. The move is a blow to movie theaters. “Fast & Furious” sequels tend to be among the year’s highest-grossing movies and the release date shift leaves Memorial Day weekend without one of its star attractions.
This would be Cardi’s second film that she would make an appearance in, but will be a somewhat bigger role compared to her appearance in her first film, Hustler’s with Jennifer Lopez. Cardi B portrays Leysa, a woman who shares a history with Dom.

It is sad to see that a film has to be delayed, but for the safety of everyone it is understandable. We hope that everyone apart of the Fast and the Furious 9 cast ends up being safe and healthy from the CoronaVirus epidemic.
