Denzel Washington rejected this role in Fast and Furious movies

Mr. Nobody, played by Kurt Russell, quickly became a key character in the Fast and Furious franchise, debuting in Furious 7 and appearing in The Fate of the Furious and F9: The Fast Saga. As a government agent with a mysterious and strategic nature, he played an essential role in assisting Dominic Toretto and his crew with dangerous missions. However, by the end of F9, Mr. Nobody’s fate was left uncertain, especially after he was involved in a plane crash. While it’s not definitively clear if he’s dead, the crash seems to suggest that his character’s future may be grim.

Interestingly, it’s been revealed that Mr. Nobody’s character could have been quite different. According to a 2013 report by Deadline, Denzel Washington was reportedly offered the role before Furious 7 started filming. However, it appears that Washington turned it down, and the reasons behind his decision remain unclear. The idea of a star like Denzel Washington joining the Fast & Furious franchise has certainly sparked curiosity among fans, especially given his reputation for dramatic roles that contrast with the action-packed world of Toretto’s crew.

Now, with the possibility of future installments, there’s speculation about whether Washington could ever be tempted to join Dom’s family in the future, perhaps taking on a new character or even revisiting the role of Mr. Nobody under different circumstances. If the franchise continues its upward trajectory, it wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility for Denzel Washington to make an appearance, adding even more star power to an already action-packed universe.
