Michelle Rodriguez has always made a point of working for the emancipation of women in her work.

And already with the very first

Fast & Furious

, when she was just starting her career, the actress did not hesitate to demand the rewrite of her character, believing that it was unrealistic.

“When Michelle read the part, she said, 'No, I'm not playing that'.

And then she completely changed him.

From a trophy girlfriend, it became a really nuanced character, ”Jordana Brewster told Entertainment Weekly about Michelle Rodriguez on the 21st anniversary of the start of the heavy-duty franchise.

Not won

For Michelle Rodriguez, it was out of the question to make concessions at this level.

The actress demanded that the writers give more value, depth and above all realism to the character of Letty Ortiz.

“It was really a realization for them to realize that it does not work like that in the street.

You don't hang out with a guy just because he's hot.

There is a hierarchy.

Can this hot guy get knocked out by your boyfriend?

If so, you can't go out with it, ”added Michelle Rodriguez, explaining that she had to open their eyes to authors who, in addition to being men, were used to the hushed life of Hollywood. .

Sadly, movie after movie, the

Fast & Furious

saga can't be said to

have shone in favor of women, and the 42-year-old actress even threatened to slam the door in 2017 if nothing was done to do so.

In the end, during 2019, she announced her participation in

F9

, Universal Pictures having made the effort to hire a woman to participate in the writing of the film.
