The Fast & Furious franchise's beloved main characters have been transformed into young children in a series of AI-generated images that possess a slightly eerie quality. Ever since the release of the first movie in 2001, audiences have grown to love and cherish the characters of Vin Diesel's Dom, Paul Walker's Brian, Michelle Rodriguez's Letty, and Jordana Brewster's Mia. As the franchise has expanded over the years to include more extravagant action scenes and a larger ensemble cast, the latest installment, Fast X, has inspired blackstyle.ai to share these remarkable artworks on Instagram. These images showcase what the main characters would look like as kids, and they are truly a sight to behold.
The post includes reimagined versions of Dom, Letty, Brian, Mia, Roman (Tyrese Gibson), Tej (Ludacris), Han (Sung Kang), and Gisele (Gal Gadot).
Would A Fast & Furious Origin Story Movie Work?
The AI art of Fast & Furious characters as kids has sparked debate over the potential of a prequel film exploring their younger years. In the original movie, Dom, Brian, and Mia were already in their mid-20s, leaving much room for backstory. A prequel could delve into Dom's passion for cars or shed light on Brian's decision to become a cop.
F9: The Fast Saga has already delved into Dom's past through flashback scenes. As a character, Dom has been explored extensively, and it may be challenging to find new angles to flesh out his backstory further. Instead, a Fast & Furious origin story could benefit from focusing on a supporting character whose past remains unknown.
Han, played by Kang, has already had an origin story of sorts through his appearance in Better Luck Tomorrow before joining the Fast & Furious franchise. However, his love interest Gisele could be an intriguing subject for an origin story. Although not much is known about her past, she has displayed proficiency with weapons, likely due to combat experience. While it would be interesting to see a character's origin story, sometimes keeping the mystery alive can be a more compelling option.
