Fast Five: New Love Interest and Villain

• READ: Exclusive : Details on Fast Five villain & love interest

Hernan Reyes (Joaquim de Almeida)

Described as a “heartless, incredibly strong and charming Latino runs the local drug ring. He is just as cruel as he is smart; he has most of the local law enforcement and bureaucrats in his pocket.” Was responsible for the death of Elena’s (Elsa Pataky) partner. Has assigned his men Lanzo, Berto and Capa to go undercover in Dom’s gang.Reyes’ number two is a guy named Zizi, who “has an eerie appearance” and is “a fearsome man. He is compliant to his employer’s demands. Is not squeamish when it comes to doing what needs to be done.”

Elena Neves (Elsa Pataky)

Elena is said to be “a Hard and still gorgeous law enforcement agent. Has a harsh background from a grueling ghetto. Is known for her ability to keep her morals in tact.” She forms a unique bond with fugitive Dom (Vin Diesel) since they’ve both lost their loved ones – in her case, her police-officer husband who Reyes murdered. It’s a difficult relationship, being that their both working on opposite sides, but like Dom & Brian in the original, they ultimately unite to bring down a common enemy.

Finally, our contact tells us that Jordana Brewster will – despite not having been mentioned as doing so – be returning as Dom’s sister/Brian’s love ‘Mia’. “[Mia] and Brian are the central characters in the big opening number”, we’re told.
