F9 release postponed; upcoming Fast and Furious film to release in theatres on 25 June

Firstpost  

Universal Pictures has once again pushed the breaks on the ninth instalment of their hit saga, Fast and the Furious, but the fans and movie buffs hope this is going to be the last delay. The film was earlier scheduled to release last May but the COVID-19 pandemic forced the makers to delay the release by a year. A month of delay in the F9 release also comes after reports that the New York City will reopen theatres, although limited seats, this weekend, the first time since COVID wreaked havoc. Directed and co-written by Justin Lin with Daniel Casey, the ninth instalment also stars Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Jordana Brewster, Nathalie Emmanuel, Helen Mirren, and Charlize Theron.
