Denzel Washington rejected this role in Fast and Furious movies

Mr. Nobody, portrayed by Kurt Russell, is a notable character in the Fast and Furious movie series. He first appeared in Furious 7, where he acted as a key ally to Dominic Toretto and his crew, often recruiting them for risky missions on behalf of the U.S. Government.

While Mr. Nobody had significant roles in both Furious 7 and its sequel, The Fate of the Furious, his story took a mysterious turn in F9: The Fast Saga. He was involved in a plane crash, and although it’s not definitively stated that he died, it certainly leaves fans with the impression that it might be the end for him.

Interestingly, it turns out that Mr. Nobody could have looked quite different. Back in 2013, Deadline reported that Denzel Washington was considered for the role before filming for Furious 7 began. Although Washington ultimately declined the offer, the reasons remain unclear. This speculation about the legendary actor potentially joining the Fast and Furious family continues to circulate among fans. Is there a chance he might still be tempted to join Dom Toretto’s crew in the future?

With ten movies under its belt, the Fast and Furious franchise has developed a complicated narrative. At its core, the films follow Dom Toretto (played by Vin Diesel), an ex-con who becomes a street racer, as he and his friends dive into a world filled with illegal street racing, crime, heists, and government espionage. The series has evolved from street racing to international thrillers, but the camaraderie and family theme remain strong throughout.
