Michelle Rodriguez Threatens To Leave 'Fast And Furious' Franchise

IANS, 30 Jun, 2017 08:36 PM

    It seems like Michelle Rodriguez is really furious with 'Fast and the Furious' makers for not bringing women anymore into the spotlight.

     

    The 38-year-old actress took to Instagram and announced that she is prepared to leave behind her beloved role as Letty Ortiz in the hit ' Fast and the Furious' franchise due to its lack of strong female voices in the series.

     

    She wrote, "F8 is out digitally today, I hope they decide to show some love to the women of the franchise on the next one. Or I just might have to say goodbye to a loved franchise. It's been a good ride & Im grateful for the opportunity the fans & studio have provided over the years... One Love."

     
     
     
     

    Recently, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the actress revealed that even after having award-winning actresses like Helen Mirren and Charlize Theron, the film had a greater focus on male actors such as Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson.

     

    She added, "On day one, I [changed] the character from being something that I could not do in front of millions of people into a character that I'm actually proud of, but at the end of the day, what message are we sending out there for women? It does weigh heavy on my head -- especially in the male-dominated environment that I work in."
