Tyrese Wants Matt Damon And Denzel Washington In Fast & Furious

Having recently become the fifth highest-grossing franchise of all-time, Fast & Furious certainly has the clout and popularity when it comes to pushing the boat out and recruiting big name guests for either cameo appearances or supporting roles. So far, the series has opted for a mix of established veterans, talented stars, action heroes and musicians without much in the way of rhyme or reason, but Tyrese Gibson has set his sights high for the concluding two chapters in The Fast Saga.

When asked to name who he’d want to see join the esteemed likes of Helen Mirren, Charlize Theron, Jason Statham, John Cena and Kurt Russell in pitching up alongside Dominic Toretto and the crew, the actor named two A-listers and a singer that would be at the top of his list, and there’s one among them with a long history of surprise cameos that definitely can’t be ruled out by any stretch of the imagination.

“Come on, Rihanna has to be in the next movie. She’s gonna kill every red carpet there is. I just love her spice, she’s sexy, she’s a bad girl, and I think energy wise she’d be perfect for Fast & Furious. I’m putting that out there. I’m putting Matt Damon out there because he’s a part of the Bourne franchise and that’s another Universal franchise. And I’m also putting Denzel Washington out there who’s the reason I started acting in the first place. Hopefully one of my requests that I’m putting in the universe will happen.”

While every major franchise in Hollywood would love to bring in Denzel Washington, the screen legend isn’t particularly interested in either boarding franchises or making sequels, with The Equalizer 2 the only example from his long and distinguished career. Rihanna has dabbled in big budget fare in the past via forgotten dud Battleship, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets and Ocean’s 8, but nobody in the industry loves a secret guest spot more than Matt Damon.

Over the years, the Academy Award winner has made dropped by unannounced in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Finding Forrester, EuroTrip, Jersey Girl, Thor: Ragnarok, Deadpool 2 and most recently HBO Max’s crime thriller No Sudden Move to name just a few, so if someone were to ask him, he’d probably be down for adding Fast & Furious to that list.

Pirates Of The Caribbean Star Says Johnny Depp Deserves At Least A Cameo

Until we get a concrete confirmation or denial from Disney, fans are always going to retain hope that Johnny Depp will be invited back in some capacity for one of the two Pirates of the Caribbean movies in development, even if we’re rapidly approaching three years since he was first dropped as Captain Jack Sparrow.

The Mouse House are clearly confident enough that the brand is strong enough to survive without the presence of its main character, most popular figure and focal point of the marketing, but the jury remains out on that one. Even with Depp front and center, Dead Men Tell No Tales suffered a steep drop at the box office to become the lowest-grossing entry in the series since Curse of the Black Pearl fourteen years previously.

Dumping one of the 21st Century’s most iconic characters when there are still so many question marks surrounding the long term viability of Pirates of the Caribbean is a bold decision, and in a new interview star Greg Ellis, who played Lieutenant Theodore Groves in three of the first five installments and remains friends with Depp to this day, thinks the actor is deserving of at least a cameo appearance.

I think for Pirates 6, in an ideal world, every character who the fans have fallen in love with will be able to come back to kind of wrap everything up. Ultimately it comes down to screenplay and story. If Jack Sparrow isn’t a key, if not the key element, to wrapping up a multi-billion dollar franchise, is it not akin to not having Captain Kirk in Star Trek? Do I think he’s going to come back? Yes. To what degree, I’m not sure. There’s this reputation savaging that’s going on, this victimhood culture where victimhood is the new social currency and its economy is booming, and it’s been inflated.”

While his Star Trek comparison isn’t ideal when you consider Patrick Stewart’s Jean-Luc Picard headlined several entries in the sci-fi series without a Shatner in sight, you understand what he’s getting at. Most big name properties are in a perpetual state of reinvention, and while the likes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Star Wars will thrive regardless of who appears on screen, the same arguably can’t be said of Pirates of the Caribbean given how intrinsic Captain Jack has been to the entire operation since the beginning.
