Upcoming Action Movie Starring Nathalie Emmanuel Confirms A Harsh Fast & Furious Reality

Summary Despite its success, the Fast & Furious franchise fails to give Nathalie Emmanuel an action-oriented role, limiting her full potential.

Ramsey's character in F&F offers something unique, but The Killer will showcase Emmanuel's action skills in a pivotal role.

Emmanuel's upcoming film, The Killer, highlights missed opportunities in F&F, indicating a shift towards showcasing her action prowess.

Nathalie Emmanuel is set to star in an upcoming action film, and her next part is on course to prove a harsh Fast & Furious reality. Despite the franchise changing significantly over the years, Fast & Furious has become one of the biggest action series in Hollywood throughout its two-decade run. The movies have attracted huge names, with the likes of Charlize Theron, John Cena, Brie Larson, and Jason Momoa all joining the franchise in recent years. However, with Fast 11 set to end the main story, one new action film will confirm a harsh reality about the box office juggernaut.

The Fast & Furious series may be one of the highest-grossing movie franchises of all time, but it doesn't mean it hasn't faced some trouble along the way. Internal feuds and a few disappointing critical receptions have had a slight impact on Fast & Furious' legacy, but each movie continues to be a large cinematic spectacle; however, despite the franchise's undeniable success, it has still run into some minor criticisms. One of its biggest flaws has been trying to balance its massive cast, and Emmanuel's upcoming movie will prove that F&F failed to fulfill her full potential.

While Nathalie Emmanuel's best TV shows and movies tend to be more drama-oriented, The Killer will present the chance to branch out and deliver something fresh. She has been part of other action projects before, but this will easily be her most pivotal part, and the early signs look promising. The Killer's trailer revealed plenty of fun sequences and locations, but it's Emmanuel's charming yet deadly character that shined. Given the original movie is a classic and Woo is working on the remake, The Killer has the potential to be the most iconic performance of Emmanuel's career.

Fast & Furious Failed To Give Emmanuel An Action-Orientated Role

Emmanuel's Character Rarely Gets Involved In Fast & Furious' Action Sequences

Close

Nathalie Emmanuel's Ramsey was first introduced in Furious 7, but the character has failed to receive an overly action-filled role. Ramsey was responsible for creating God's Eye, which has played a major role in the Fast & Furious franchise, and she has been portrayed as an expert hacker with a strong intellect. Unfortunately, despite her likability, the character has often found herself helping create plans and operating in the background, rather than being directly involved in the action. As a result, the movie series has never really maximized Emmanuel's action potential, which The Killer looks to achieve.

Nathalie Emmanuel has appeared as Ramsey in four Fast & Furious movies.

Given how ridiculous some of Fast & Furious' stunts are, it's disappointing that Emmanuel is rarely involved in these big moments, especially as she has excelled when presented with the opportunity. Having such a big cast does limit how many characters get to have important action scenes, but with Ramsey being part of the main crew, she deserves a larger spotlight. Keeping her away from the front lines of the franchise's most explosive sequences only makes Emmanuel's role more frustrating, and if The Killer ends up being a massive hit, it will highlight her wasted Fast & Furious potential.

Why Nathalie Emmanuel’s Ramsey Still Works In Fast & Furious

Ramsey Offers Something Different To Fast & Furious' Central Characters

Fast & Furious may have struggled to maximize Nathalie Emmanuel's diverse set of acting skills, but her role as Ramsey still worked surprisingly well. She may be deprived of action scenes, but Ramsey thankfully offers something different to the rest of the central characters, helping her stand out. Having someone who operates outside the law and is an expert with technology helps explain all the franchise's complicated plans and gadgets, while making Ramsey a valuable member of the team. Alongside her witty personality, she also has great chemistry with Tej and Roman, making her fit seamlessly into the group.

Ramsey's inability to drive also added to the drama when she had to take the wheel during a high-stakes chase, creating a fresh and unpredictable scene for the franchise.

The movies also prevented her from falling into the trap of being just another great racer, as Ramsey revealed she couldn't drive, adding to the irony of her being in Dom's group. Ramsey's inability to drive also added to the drama when she had to take the wheel during a high-stakes chase, creating a fresh and unpredictable scene for the franchise. Watching her panic while trying to navigate the streets of London was one of her best scenes in the Fast & Furious saga, and it only confirmed that Emmanuel deserves more action sequences in the final installment.
