Action Movie With Alan Ritchson’s Villainous Role Is Killing It on Streaming

The Fast & Furious franchise is gearing up for its final lap, but fans are not waiting until 2028 to get their adrenaline fix. An action movie featuring Alan Ritchson in a memorable antagonistic role is experiencing a major resurgence, racing up the streaming charts and reminding viewers why this saga remains a heavyweight in the genre.

Fast X emerges on Vudu’s streaming charts

According to FlixPatrol, Fast X has surged to the eighth spot on Vudu’s streaming rankings in the U.S. The film now shares digital shelf space with major titles including The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Avatar: Fire and Ash, GOAT, and the latest Scream 7.

Within the stacked ensemble, Alan Ritchson plays Aimes, the no-nonsense Agency operative tasked with hunting Dom’s team across multiple continents. Ritchson’s physically commanding screen presence was seen as a grounded counterweight to Jason Momoa’s flamboyant antagonist Dante.

The latter pursues revenge for his father’s death and the loss of family fortune. The cast also includes Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, John Cena, Nathalie Emmanuel, and Helen Mirren. Despite a mixed 56% critical score on Rotten Tomatoes, the action movie continues to find a receptive audience in the streaming ecosystem.

Additionally, this streaming revival arrives as fan chatter around the franchise’s endgame grows louder, fueled by Diesel’s periodic social media updates about nostalgic callbacks and returning characters planned for the finale.

Universal has locked a March 17, 2028, theatrical release date for what is tentatively titled Fast Forever. Plot details remain scarce, though the studio hinted at larger roles for Jason Statham and Dwayne Johnson following their brief appearances in Fast X. Both actors previously headlined the successful spinoff Hobbs & Shaw, and their expanded involvement hints that the final chapter aims to deliver maximum star power.

For now, the streaming performance of Fast X demonstrates that the audience’s appetite for this particular movie remains undiminished, especially when a villain like Alan Ritchson is standing in the way.
