Ludacris wants to see Idris Elba, Matt Damon, or Denzel Washington star in the final entry in The Fast and Furious film franchise.

Earlier this week, Luda paid a visit to The Jennifer Hudson Show, and was asked about the sequel to Fast X that's scheduled to arrive in 2026. The rapper explained he doesn't have any information on the upcoming film, and if there was any, he and the film crew would be on a tight leash. However, Ludacris revealed what A-list actors he would love to see star in the final Fast and Furious film.

Over the years, the franchise has seen actors such as Dwayne Johnson, Jason Mamoa, Jason Statham, and John Cena join the crew. According to Luda, that list of actors has room for three more guys that would fit the bill.

"I would love Idris Elba in the final movie," said Ludacris. "Matt Damon would be dope man...Denzel Washington. Let's get Denzel Washington in the franchise. I would love that. I'm just throwing around names."

Ludacris is one of the longest-tenured actors in the franchise, as he starred in the 2003 film 2 Fast 2 Furious as Tej Parker. In total, Luda has been in seven out of the ten Fast and Furious films.

Elsewhere in his conversation with Hudson, Ludacris claimed he wanted to collaborate with her again following their 2008 joint effort "Pocketbook," which was produced by Timbaland. The song can be found on Hudson's self-titled debut album.
