Michelle Rodriguez is reprising her role of Leticia “Letty” Ortiz in Fast & Furious 9 after managing to bring a female screenwriter on board.

The actor, who has been attached with the action franchise since the beginning, had threatened to walk out of the films in a 2017 Instagram post unless producers showed “some love to the women of the franchise on the next one”.
