Gary Gray, who directed The Fate of the Furious, has spoken on record to say he feels that his film at least did a good job with women.
If you’ve kept tabs on the Fast & Furious movies over the years, you probably are already aware that Michelle Rodriguez’s character Letty is the female with the most character development, staying power and autonomy in the films.
So, we’ll have to wait and see if Rodriguez is able to negotiate to get what she wants.
Other female characters in the movies have died, and Jordana Brewster’s Mia Toretto was basically displaced after Paul Walker’s untimely passing.
