The Fast & Furious franchise has to be one of the most peculiar marvels of entertainment in history; by almost no metric could these movies be considered quality cinema, but the carefully crafted self-awareness in the storm of car stunts, bullets, and impossible stupidity makes the saga something incredibly special.
Recommended VideosAnd you don’t reach that point without your filmmaking family pouring sheer, unadulterated love into the project, and it looks like one John Cena is happy to provide in the most hilarious and adorable way possible.

— John Cena (@JohnCena) May 24, 2023In the days leading up to and following the recent theatrical release of Fast X, Cena, who portrays Jakob Toretto in the film, has gone absolutely ham with the hashtag #FastXYourSeatbelts to the point where we can’t tell if he’s repeating it for the laughs or is just that in love with the phrase.
An enormous THANK YOU to all audiences everywhere who enjoyed @TheFastSaga and made #FastX the #1 movie in the world 🌍 this weekend!

— John Cena (@JohnCena) May 19, 2023Indeed, audiences may have a blast with Fast X, but it doesn’t look like they’ll have quite as much fun as Cena’s been having with this hashtag.
What started with a chance meeting has led us to this … #FastX in theaters TOMORROW!!!! @TheFastSaga #FastXYourSeatbeltshttps://t.co/oaHhL6ayai https://t.co/rqAtupFJEo

— John Cena (@JohnCena) May 17, 2023The rest of Twitter, meanwhile, has taken to lamenting the missed opportunity for a film title that would have been right in the Fast franchise’s wheelhouse.
I still call Fast X "Fast X Your Seatbelts."
— Scott the Human (@flickerbucket) May 19, 2023Why didn’t they call it “Fast X: Your Seatbelts”? #FastAndFurious #FAST10
— Christine Mimnagh 💙 🏳️⚧️ (@ChrisMimnagh) May 19, 2023They missed the golden oppurtunity for Fast X: Your Seatbelts.
— PunkAB (@punk_ab) May 22, 2023Of course, we still have a couple of Fast films in the pipeline before the series officially ends (although, we’re sure Universal will do everything in its power to prevent that), so there’s still plenty of time to make good on such a titling opportunity. And if it means John Cena gets to keep indulging in his new favorite pastime, everyone’s going to be a winner with this particular continuation.
