But in a new Instagram post shared to announce the digital release of [_The Fate of the Furious_](http://time.com/4741731/fate-of-the-furious-box-office-record-opening-weekend/) this week, Rodriguez threatened that she may have to back out of future involvement — unless she sees changes around the roles for women. “I hope they decide to show some love to the women of the franchise on the next one,” she wrote in the caption, “or I just might have to say goodbye to a loved franchise. It’s been a good ride & I’m grateful for the opportunity the fans & studio have provided over the years… One Love.” She appended the caption to a photo collage of images of herself and onscreen ride-or-die [Vin Diesel](http://time.com/4770533/vin-diesel-paul-walker-mtv-awards/), Nathalie Emmanuel, and a crowd of fans. While the Fast and Furious series has been one of the great box office success stories of contemporary action movies, it has also been plagued with tragedy; series star [Paul Walker](http://time.com/4725263/fast-furious-8-fate-paul-walker-death/) passed away after a car accident in 2013\. Also, there were gossip headlines when the latest installment was [dogged by rumors](http://time.com/4444921/the-rock-furious-8-male-costars/) of friction on set between producer Vin Diesel and fellow [larger-than-life star The Rock](http://time.com/4675144/the-rock-on-movie-roles/). Two more films are slated for 2019 and 2021 releases. Besides Rodriguez, actresses like Jordana Brewster, Nathalie Emmanuel, and Elsa Pataky have made repeat appearances in the series, although primarily as sidekicks and love interests. Newcomers Charlize Theron and Helen Mirren featured more prominently in _F8_. This isn’t the first time Rodriguez has called attention to sexism [in the industry](http://motto.time.com/4345090/michelle-rodriguez-wage-gap-slave/) and in their franchise, either; in a recent interview [with _Entertainment Weekly_](http://ew.com/movies/2017/05/05/fast-furious-series-badass-women/), she noted that she was hoping to see an improvement in the “macho bravado” tone of the series overall. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4836795/michelle-rodriguez-fast-furious-quit/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4836795/michelle-rodriguez-fast-furious-quit/"},"headline":"Why Michelle Rodriguez Has Warned She Could Quit the Fast and Furious Franchise","datePublished":"2017-06-28T17:18:02.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:44:58.287Z","description":"The action franchise actress insists it's time for the Vin-Diesel-starring series to \"show some love to the women\" in the next installment.","url":"https://time.com/4836795/michelle-rodriguez-fast-furious-quit/","keywords":["movies","Newsfeed","Vin Diesel"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt024e4fe10c2334a6/6988d3bae76ad2637662e237/michelle-rodriguez.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt024e4fe10c2334a6/6988d3bae76ad2637662e237/michelle-rodriguez.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"\"The Fate Of The Furious\" New York Premiere","caption":"\"The Fate Of The Furious\" New York Premiere","creditText":"Dimitrios Kambouris—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4836795/michelle-rodriguez-fast-furious-quit/","name":"Why Michelle Rodriguez Has Warned She Could Quit the Fast and Furious Franchise"}}]}] ```
