One of the biggest brands in Hollywood, The Fast and Furious Franchise is always trying to get big stars from combat sports in their movies to make the franchise even more popular among the sports fanatics. We have seen Dwyane Johnson in many of its installments, and recently in one of its spin-off “Hobbs and Shaw”, we saw WWE superstar Roman Reigns.

And now the ever-growing cast of Fast and Furious includes the most powerful puncher of UFC, Francis Ngannou. Francis Ngannou is an unstoppable juggernaut who has defeated legends of the sports such as Cain Velasquez, Junior Dos Santos, and Alister Overeem.

Ngannou is currently the top contender for the heavyweight title. But his next fight would depend on how the rematch between DC and Stipe plays out at UFC 241. However, it seems Francis wants to try his hands in movies as he joins the crew of Fast and Furious.

UFC superstar Ronda Rousey has already been in one installment of this franchise and Francis would be another athlete from UFC to follow the footsteps of Rousey. UFC fighters getting signed by big movie franchises is not unprecedented since we have already seen GSP in “Captain America Winter Soldier”.

It would be fascinating to see how a guy who knocks people out to another orbit inside the cage do in movies. Reportedly the ninth edition of the Fast and Furious is due on May 2020 and WWE superstar John Cena is also going to be in the same movie.
