If you stayed through the credits of Fast Five it should be no surprise to find out Michelle Rodriguez is returning for the sixth installment in the franchise. If you haven’t sat through Fast Five‘s credits then this is a surprise, and proof that you haven’t been in the Internet for about a year. It was spoiled almost immediately after Five was released.
At any rate, Rodriguez will be returning to the role of Letty which she originated in 2001′s The Fast and the Furious and reprised in 2007′s Fast and Furious.
In other casting news, Rodriguez will also be returning as Luz in Machete Kills. Here’s more on Kills from Variety:
