\"Fast<\/p>\n

The Fast and Furious<\/strong><\/em> franchise has now been in our lives for 20 years, and regardless of whether or not you love or hate these movies<\/a>, it has inarguably given us some incredible cinematic moments and unforgettable characters. But fans of the films may be surprised to learn that the capable Letty Ortiz was initially not written as the rough-and-tumble, ride-or-die figure that first app<\/a>eared in 2001\u2019s The Fast and the Furious<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In a new oral history, actress Michelle Rodriguez<\/strong> talks about how she convinced the studio to alter the character for the better, making Letty less of a trophy girlfriend stock type and more of an active participant in the action.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Entertainment Weekly<\/a> published an oral history of 2001\u2019s The Fast and the Furious<\/em>, and Jordana Brewster<\/strong> (who plays Mia Toretto in the franchise) explains what happened when Rodriguez saw an early version of the script: \u201cWhen Michelle read her role, she was like, \u2018No, I\u2019m not playing that.\u2019 And then she changed it completely. It went from a trophy girlfriend to this really layered character.\u201d
\nVin Diesel<\/strong> had qualms with the script as well, and he sat down with co-writer David Ayer<\/strong> and went through the script page by page to give notes and help flesh the characters out. But it sounds like Letty\u2019s character needed a lot of work, and she laid out how things needed to be for Letty to feel more realistic. According to Rodriguez:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a reality check for them to realize that the streets don\u2019t work like that. You don\u2019t just get with a guy because he\u2019s hot. There\u2019s a hierarchy there. Can that hot guy get beat up by who you\u2019re dating? If he can, then you don\u2019t date him, because why would you want to lose the hierarchy? In order to keep it real, I had to school them: \u2018I know you guys like Hollywood and all that, but if you want it to be realistic, this is how it really works, and I\u2019m not going to be a slut in front of millions of people, so you\u2019re going to lose me if you don\u2019t change this.\u2019 And they figured it out\u2026I remember fighting to get a moment where Letty gets into a fight herself, because I felt like you don\u2019t sit around and let your boys throw down without getting your hands dirty. If you don\u2019t, then are you just there to model? That doesn\u2019t work where I come from.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Rodriguez has been fighting on Letty\u2019s behalf since the very beginning of this franchise, and threatened to quit years later when she thought the female characters weren\u2019t being written to her satisfaction. Those issues have since been resolved, and she\u2019ll be back in action when F9<\/em><\/strong> races into theaters on June 25<\/strong>, 2021<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
