Most iconic Fast and Furious villain still 'waiting for a call' for the sequel

Jason Momoa has opened up about plans to return for Fast and Furious 11, admitting that he's still 'waiting for a call' from movie bosses. The Dune legend made his debut as campy villain Dante Reyes in 2023's Fast X, and was clearly in his element alongside the star-studded cast, including Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Ludacris, Tyrese and co. After Vin confirmed that the 11th and final instalment will be racing onto the big screen in 2027, the 46-year-old revealed that he would love to 'f**k s**t up' once again. Speaking to Metro to promote his stunning historical drama, Chief of War, talk turned to his future projects, and whether we would ever see Dante again. 'Listen, they couldn't get rid of me if they tried,' he declared. 'But I'm just saying that I'm waiting for them to call. 'I'm ready to go. You can quote me, I'm ready to f**k s**t up.' The most recent Fast and Furious movie ended on an almighty cliffhanger, perfectly setting up Dante's desire to exact revenge on the gang after the events of the fifth movie led to his father's death. Jason's unhinged performance was a hit with fans and critics alike, with many branding his character the franchise's 'best villain yet'. Unpacking his efforts in a chat with Variety at the time, he shared that he had the time of his life with the role. 'I've never played a character that's, what's the word – he's evil and quirky and androgynous,' he teased. 'He's very sadistic and fun. It's very bizarre. 'I haven't played a villain in a very long time.' The Game of Thrones icon jumped right into character and actually improvised some of his most morbid scenes, including one where he enjoyed a cocktail with two of his dead henchmen. Director Louis Leterrier raved about his efforts in front of the camera, telling the Hollywood Reporter: 'What you have to realize is that Jason and I love each other. 'We found each other on this movie, and we realized that making each other laugh was a great way to create Dante. 'We really liked making each other laugh, and the extra points, the joker of our game, was to get Vin to crack up and come out of character as Dom Toretto. More Trending 'So we tried really hard, like when Dante calls Dom 'butthole,' but Vin is so focused when he is on set that it was impossible.' Fingers crossed that they can get him to crack in the next one… This article was first published on August 1. Fast and Furious 11 is slated to be released in 2027. Got a story?

This is what happens to your blood pressure when you make walking a daily habit

High blood pressure increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. Regular walking is one way to manage and lower blood pressure. Studies show it is a practical and effective form of exercise. How Walking Helps Blood Pressure? Walking at a moderate pace can improve heart health. During moderate walking, the heart beats faster, and breathing increases, but conversation is still possible. This level of effort improves cardiovascular fitness. Walking helps reduce stiffness in arteries. This allows blood to move more easily through the circulatory system. It also lowers levels of cortisol, a hormone linked to stress. Although physical activity can temporarily raise cortisol, regular walking may help the body adjust and reduce cortisol levels over time. What Research Shows Many studies show that walking helps lower blood pressure. Both systolic and diastolic readings can go down with regular walking. High blood pressure is defined as systolic readings over 140 mm Hg or diastolic readings over 90 mm Hg. Lowering these numbers reduces the chance of heart disease and stroke. Walking daily can help people control or reduce their blood pressure. It can also prevent blood pressure from rising too high in the future. Live Events Also Read: One Big Beautiful Bill: Blessing or curse? Here's how new bill may affect you How Much Walking Is Enough? Health experts recommend at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity each week. This can be broken into smaller sessions. Some people choose 30 minutes a day for five days. Others may walk for 50 minutes three times a week. Dr. Gina Lundberg from Emory Women's Heart Center says different schedules work as long as the total activity adds up to 150 minutes. This time commitment can lead to noticeable changes in blood pressure. Walking Compared to Other Exercises Walking is easy to start and can be done anywhere. It helps improve focus, sleep, and energy. It also reduces the risk of several health problems, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and some cancers. An expert said aerobic exercise is the main type of activity recommended to reduce blood pressure. While running or biking are also effective, walking is the most accessible choice for many people. The American Heart Association supports walking as a good way to lower blood pressure. Also Read: Fast and Furious 11: Will Brian O'Conner return? See release date, cast, Vin Diesel's three conditions How to Improve Benefits of Walking? Experts suggest a few tips to get the most health benefits from walking: Take shorter walks more often: Some people may not manage 30–45 minutes at once. Dr. Lundberg says two or three 10–15-minute walks per day can also help, a report said. Add more steps during the day: People who are mostly inactive can benefit by adding around 3,000 extra steps daily. This supports blood pressure control. Make walking a daily habit: Regular walking improves blood pressure throughout the day and prevents sudden increases during inactive periods. Move each hour: Sitting for long periods can raise blood pressure. An expert recommends setting reminders to move every hour. Short walks or stretching can help. FAQs How often should I walk to lower blood pressure? Walking for 30 minutes five days a week or in shorter sessions throughout the day adds up to 150 minutes weekly, which is recommended to reduce blood pressure. Can short walks lower blood pressure too? Yes, walking in 10–15-minute sessions two to three times daily has similar benefits as one longer walk, especially for people with limited time or mobility.

Don't Do It: Experts warn of 3 surprising health dangers from peeing in the shower

Many people urinate in the shower, but health professionals say this can be harmful. A viral TikTok video recently sparked debate about this common habit. Now, doctors are speaking out about the risks. Experts are particularly concerned about women, warning that shower urination may lead to infections and bladder issues. Viral Video A video by TikTok user @kingsley502 gained attention online for addressing the issue of peeing while standing in the shower. The user advised viewers, especially women, to avoid this habit. He explained that urinating while standing could affect bladder control and lead to leakage. This video raised many questions about health effects. Doctor Explains Dr Zac Turner, a medical expert from Australia, told that women should avoid urinating while standing. He explained that the female body is designed to urinate in a seated or squatting position. In these positions, pelvic muscles fully relax. This helps the bladder empty completely. Urinating while standing, he said, can prevent full emptying. Also Read: Fast and Furious 11: Will Brian O'Conner return? See release date, cast, Vin Diesel's three conditions Infections and Hygiene Risks Dr Turner warned that urine is not sterile, the report said. Even healthy people have bacteria in their urine. Showering while urinating can spread these bacteria. Skin, feet, or cuts on the body can absorb the bacteria. This can lead to infection. People with existing urinary infections face even more risk. Live Events Women More Prone to UTIs Women are four times more likely than men to get urinary tract infections (UTIs). This makes them more vulnerable to problems from shower urination. Incomplete bladder emptying, common during standing urination, can create conditions for bacterial growth. The leftover urine gives bacteria a place to multiply. Bladder Training and Reflex Conditioning Dr Turner told the media outlet that urinating while standing may confuse the brain-bladder reflex. Over time, the body might send signals to urinate even when the bladder is not full. This could lead to an overactive bladder or urgency problems. A 2017 study supported this idea, linking such habits to increased urination urges triggered by water cues. Also Read: Watch Project Hail Mary Trailer! What is it about? Here's sci-fi film's plot, cast and crew Warning Signs of Urinary Problems Several symptoms may show early urinary health issues. A stinging or burning feeling while urinating is one sign of a UTI. This comes from irritation caused by bacteria. Frequent urination and urgency could also signal trouble. Feeling the need to go often may mean the bladder is inflamed or conditioned to feel full. Leaks and Other Physical Symptoms Stress incontinence, which is urine leakage during movement or laughter, could mean weak pelvic floor muscles. Dr Turner added this could develop due to poor bladder habits. Other warning signs include cloudy, smelly, or bloody urine. Blood in the urine should be taken seriously, even if it appears once. He advised seeing a doctor right away in such cases. FAQs Is it harmful to urinate in the shower regularly? Yes. Doctors warn it may cause bladder training problems, infections, and pelvic floor strain, especially for women who urinate while standing. Why are women at more risk from this habit? Women are more prone to UTIs and need proper posture for full bladder emptying. Standing while urinating may prevent this and cause health issues.

Paul Walker's character returning to Fast & Furious 12 years after his death

Vin Diesel has teased that the late Paul Walker will feature in Fast and Furious 11 despite the actor's tragic death in 2013. The 57-year-old actor – who has portrayed Dominic 'Dom' Toretto in the Fast and Furious franchise since its debut in 2001 – admitted one of his 'conditions' for returning for a final movie in the series was to bring back Brian O'Conner, played by Walker. The cop-turned-street racer was played by his friend until he died in a car accident in 2013, aged 40. Walker was in the passenger seat of his Porsche Carrera GT – driven by friend Roger Rodas – when the vehicle spun out of control, crashing into two trees and exploding in a fireball. Speaking at Fuel Fest in California over the weekend, Diesel said: 'The studio said to me, 'Vin, can we please have the finale of Fast and Furious [in] April 2027? 'I said, 'Under three conditions.' First, is to bring the franchise back to LA. The second thing was to return to the car culture, to the street racing. The third thing was reuniting Dom and Brian O'Conner.' It is unclear how the character could return to the series, and Vin didn't expand on whether archive footage or a digital creation would be used. Walker was brought back to life in Fast 7, the seventh film in the Fast and Furious franchise, which was released in 2015. In the final moments of the film, the actor can be seen driving away after giving his co-star one last smile. The stunt was pulled off by using deep AI and CGI technology to place the late actor's face onto his brother Cody Walker's face, who was driving the car. The actor's daughter, Meadow Walker, had a cameo appearance in Fast X to 'honour her father's legacy.' The last film in the franchise was Fast X, which was released in May 2023 and was initially advertised as the first of a two-part saga, but it is now unclear whether Fast 11 will pick up the story after such a lengthy delay. More Trending Alan Ritchson was a newcomer in Fast X as Agent Aimes, and he recently admitted the next movie has been delayed because it takes so long to coordinate the schedules of stars in the franchise, such as Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Jason Momoa. Alan told Screen Rant: 'We talk about it quite often. That is one of the biggest challenges that the franchise faces is that you've got a lot of guys like Dwayne and Vin and Momoa and myself and everybody's super busy. So trying to get the stars to align so we can make that happen is a feat of nature. 'So we'll see how it goes, but this is a passion project for Universal and it's one that I had a blast doing, so I'd love to get in there, and I'll bring it to life again.' Got a story?
