Last night, Vin Diesel broke the biggest Fast 10 casting news yet. The franchise lead revealed on Instagram that Captain Marvel star and Oscar-winner, Brie Larson, is joining the franchise. “Yeah yeah yeah…you see this angel over my shoulder cracking me up, you say to your self ‘That’s Captain Marvel,’” Diesel shared on Instagram alongside a selfie the two took. “Clearly there is love and laughter in this image. What you don’t see, however, is the character you will be introduced to in Fast 10. You have no idea how timeless and amazing she will be in our mythology. Beyond her beauty, her intellect… her Oscar, haha is this profound soul who will add something you might not have expected but yearned for. Welcome to the FAMILY Brie,” Diesel wrote on Instagram. Today, Larson took to social media to confirm the news.
