Nathalie Emmanuel on 'F9', the Army of the Dead Prequel, and Instagram Cat Pictures

With director Justin Lin’s F9 now playing around the world and opening in North America this weekend, I recently spoke to Nathalie Emmanuel about making the sequel. During the interview, Emmanuel revealed what fans would be surprised to learn about the making of F9, how a lot of the action is filmed without the cast on set, Instagram cat pictures, and her role in the Army of the Dead prequel, Army of Thieves. As you’ve seen in the trailers, F9 sees Dom (Diesel) enjoying his quiet life off the grid with his wife (Michelle Rodriguez) and son but is pulled back to the action when his estranged brother (John Cena) comes back into his life. As you can easily surmise, this causes Dom and his “family” to have to come together to stop Cena from carrying out his master plan. F9 (Fast and Furious 9) also stars Roman Pearce (Tyrese Gibson), Tej Parker (Chris “Ludacris” Bridges), Han Lue (Sung Kang), Mia Toretto (Jordana Brewster), Sean Boswell (Lucas Black), Twinkie (Bow Wow), Earl Hu (Jason Tobin), Magdalene Sha
