Fast & Furious 7 Cast, News & Trailer: Michelle Rodriguez Brawls with MMA Star Ronda Rousey, Stars in High Speed Include Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson (VIDEO)
"The most important thing in my life will always be mi familia," said actor Vin Diesel in the latest installment of "Fast & Furious" franchise, "Furious 7," which hits theaters on April 3, 2015.
The action-packed thriller returns to the big screen and is sure to bring the speed, the adrenaline and the sexy ladies and gents to provide some eye candy in addition to the impressive line-up of sharp, high speed cars that are sure to wow.
"Continuing the global exploits in the unstoppable franchise built on speed, Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson lead the returning cast of Furious 7," according to Universal's International Division. "James Wan directs this chapter of the hugely successful series that also welcomes back favorites Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris 'Ludacris' Bridges, Elsa Pataky and Lucas Black."
Rodriguez will also be turning up the heat again with a reported brawl with MMA fighter Ronda Rousey where the two are duking it out in fancy evening gowns. The San Antonio, Texas-born actress, who has Dominican and Puerto Rican roots, gets a lot of air time in the new international trailer for "Furious 7."
She was recently seen partying with Robert Pattinson at the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood this weekend before the Oscars.
In addition to Rousey, the cast of "Furious 7 Fast Wars" also includes new international action stars being added to the franchise including Jason Statham, Djimon Hounsou, Tony Jaa, Nathalie Emmanuel and Kurt Russell. Neal H. Moritz, Vin Diesel and Michael Fottrell also return to produce the film written by Chris Morgan.
The late Walker filmed most of his scenes for the film before his tragic death in November 2013 in Valencia, California, where he was killed in a car crash. Walker's death halted production and pushed back the film's release date so his friends, family, cast members and fans could mourn.
The action-thriller was reportedly supposed to have its global premiere in Abu Dhabi, where many of the film's jaw-dropping, action-packed scenes were shot, but those plans have been scrapped.
"There was some hope that Abu Dhabi would be rolling out the red carpet at the end of next month, ahead of the film's global release on the first weekend in April, after a team touched down in the UAE last year to look at possible premiere locations, including Vox, Yas Mall and Emirates Palace," The National reports.
What could be the reason for the change?
Vin Diesel's long-term partner Pamola Jimenez is allegedly pregnant, and due to deliver at around the same time as the anticipated premiere, sources tell The National. "'The Furious 7' star has refused to hold the premiere outside of Los Angeles for this reason, the sources say."
Vin Diesel is married to Mexican model Paloma Jimenez - the couple has two children.
