A climactic end to a franchise will surely have an emotional punch. The first part of the two-part finale for Fast & Furious, Fast X, will surely pull on fans’ heartstrings as the late Paul Walker’s daughter, Meadow Walker Thornton-Allan, will have a cameo. She shared the news in an Instagram post, giving a glimpse what her appearance (seen below).
Meadow Walker gave no details about her small role, but it looks like she is a flight attendant from the in-camera look at her looking over her shoulder. She wrote about growing up on the set of Fast movies as the first was released when she was a year old. She “grew up on set watching my father, Vin [Diesel], Jordana [Brewster], Michelle [Rodriguez],” and everyone else who had a spot in the mega-hit franchise. She thanked her father for bringing her into the “fast family.” She also thanked the director of the film, Louis Leterrier, for his “kindness, patience, and support.”

Paul Walker died in a car accident in 2013 at 40 years old. The franchise has kept his memory alive. In Furious 7, he had his final appearance. It was completed with the help of the visual effects team, actor John Brotherton, and the late actor’s brothers, Cody and Caleb, to complete the scenes.
Meadow Walker in Fast X only touches the hefty cast the film will have. Alongside her appearance, returning regulars will include Diesel, Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Brewster, Sung Kang, Jason Statham, Hellen Mirren, Charlize Theron, Scott Eastwood, and Michael Rooker. Newcomers include Jason Momoa, Brie Larson, and Alan Ritchson.
Fast X will premiere in Rome on Friday (May 12). It will have its official release on May 19. The next and final film of the main series will release in 2025.
