It seems the cast of Fast & Furious 9 is gaining another member. Entertainment Weekly reports Cardi B will appear in the latest film of the popular franchise.

“Day 86 here on the set of Fast 9,” Diesel said. “I’m tired, but I can’t wait, I ain’t gunna front, this gunna be the best one,” Cardi B said in the clip.
Justin Lin will return as director of Fast & Furious 9, the latest franchise film after side story Hobbs & Shaw. Lin hasn't directed an FF film since Fast & Furious 6 in 2016. He also directed Fast Five in 2011 and Fast & Furious in 2009.
Fast 9 rounds up many of the franchise's previous stars, including Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Nathalie Emmanuel, Charlize Theron, and Helen Mirren.
