Letty Oritz (Michelle Rodriguez) is one of the most notable figures in the Fast and Furious franchise, partially because she’s one of the series’ originals but what happened to Letty in Fast and Furious following her death has led to questions from fans. Letty is one of only three characters from 2001’s The Fast and the Furious to still be a major part of the franchise,
along with Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and Mia Toretto (Jordana Brewster). Save for a brief detour into villainy in Fast & Furious 6, Letty’s personality across all nine titles has remained consistent.
Letty has expertise in automobiles and a romantic history with Dominic Toretto. Her greatest evolution is her involvement in the globe-trotting heists, as she was the most open to returning to the action-oriented lifestyle than Dom in F9. Despite originally being more hesitant about engaging in the perilous heists of The Fast and the Furious, she has become one of the most reliably gung-ho members of Dominic’s crew. However, that comes with a high risk, including being held at gunpoint by a drug lord, and what really happened to Letty in Fast and Furious was almost truly fateful.
