Universal have released a new trailer for the much delayed Fast & Furious 9 with the movies release now headed for July 9th at the UK box office.

It’s good to be back. Watch the new #F9 trailer now. pic.twitter.com/Ewy0EZfhBv

The movie was one of the first major releases to get delayed in 2020 at the start of the global pandemic, with the original delay being a whole year, then it recently got delayed another couple of months to July 9th.

The new trailer is the usual Fast and Furious fare with fast cars and Vin Diesel looking moody the whole time.

We also get to see Helen Mirren behind the wheel and she looks as cool as Diesel doing so.

The story has the Fam really coming home for Diesel who's real brother come for payback in the shape of John Cena.

Justin Lin returns as the movies director but the movie may struggle to go over the Billion dollar mark this time in the wake of the global pandemic.

And the end of the trailer does strongly suggest that the series will go into space this time as the series enters the final frontier!

The movie has a July 9th UK release and a June 25th North American release.

After Bond 25, No Time To Die, steals the release date of Fast And Furious 9 the studio has moved the Vin Diesel movie to a little later in the year, May 28th.

The movie had already been moved from its original release date in 2020 to a year later, April 2nd 2021, then Universal moved No Time To Die to that date and we can't have 2 high profile action movies on the same day.

The only option was to move the car movie, a move which suggests that Universal has more faith in the Bond franchise than the Fast And Furious franchise, despite what the box office figures might suggest, but there we have it, a jiggle around for some high profile movies.

The new release date for F9 is Memorial Day in America and Bonds new release date is over the Easter period in the UK so maybe they are catering for the different markets!

With the move to may 28th it now clashes with Disney's live action Cruella (from the 101 Dalmatian universe) which stars Emma Stone as the title character, so expect that to either move or go to Disney+.

We're sure there are more changes to come so stay tuned for the latest information.
