Vin Diesel has given Fast & Furious fans a sneak peek of Michelle Rodriguez's return in the upcoming Fast X.

Set to hit cinemas in May, Louis Leterrier's film is a follow-up to 2021's F9 and will see many of the franchise's key players reprise their roles.

Diesel, who plays protagonist Dom Toretto, took to Instagram to share an image of Rodriguez as Dom's wife, Letty Ortiz, in a yard as she carries a plate.

"Happy creative Sunday…" Diesel wrote in the caption, adding: "Doing what you love is a blessing… doing it with the people you love… that's everything."

The Fast & Furious veteran has been providing regular updates on Instagram, unveiling images of his co-stars, much to the delight of fans. Earlier this month, he posted a behind-the-scenes picture with Game of Thrones' Jason Momoa as new villain Dante, while he also confirmed Helen Mirren's return as criminal mastermind Queenie last year.

As with the other films in the series, Fast X boasts a star-studded cast, having added several beloved household names to its huge ensemble.

Alongside Fast & Furious newcomer Momoa, the 10th main instalment in the car racing saga also features Captain Marvel's Brie Larson and Hollywood legend Rita Moreno, who will play the grandmother of Dom, Jakob and Mia. Reacher's Alan Ritchson and The Suicide Squad's Daniela Melchior will also feature.

Diesel, Rodriguez and Mirren are joined by a bunch of returning co-stars, including Jason Statham as Deckard, Ludacris as Tej, Tyrese Gibson as Roman, Jordana Brewster as Mia, John Cena as Jakob, Michael Rooker as Buddy and Sung Kang as Han, who had previously faked his death.

Fast X will be released in cinemas on May 19 this year.
