Fast & Furious 9 hits theaters this summer, and the first trailer arrives later this week. Continuing the series’ trend of using unconventional titles, the movie is simply called F9, and ahead of the trailer, new character posters have been released.

The posters reveal all the new movie’s main cast members, standing against a variety of colorful smokey backgrounds. There’s Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto, Michelle Rodriguez as Letty Ortiz, Tyrese Gibson as Roman Pearce, Jordana Brewster as Mia Toretto, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges as Tej Parker, and Nathalie Emmanuel as Ramsey, plus John Cena, who will be making his debut in the Fast franchise. Check the posters out below.

The trailer will be revealed as part of a concert titled The Road to F9, which is taking place in Miami. The concert begins at 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET on Friday, and you can livestream the event on the Fast Saga YouTube page. The show will feature performances from Cardi B–who is rumored to be in the movie–Wiz Khalifa, Charlie Puth, Ozuna, and of course, Ludacriss.

F9 is directed by Justin Lin, who has helmed four of the previous films in the series. The cast also includes Guardians of the Galaxy’s Michael Rooker, plus Charlize Theron and Helen Mirren, who will be reprising their roles from The Fate of the Furious as cyberterrorist Cipher and Magdalene Shaw–Deckard Shaw’s mother–respectively.

The movie hits theaters on May 22. For more check out GameSpot’s guide to the biggest upcoming movies of 2020.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has a bevy of additional content available to download on Nintendo Switch following the release of Byleth and Update 7.0. This includes more Mii fighter costumes, a new Spirit Board Challenge Pack, and the pre-orderable Fighters Pass Vol. 2.

Your Mii fighter can now have five more outfits to do battle in. Altaïr’s signature white cloak and hood from 2007’s Assassin’s Creed can be added to your Mii fighter’s wardrobe, in addition to a Cuphead outfit (based on the titular character), a Rabbids hat from Ubisoft’s Raving Rabbids franchise, and getups from both Mega Man X and Mega Man Battle Network. Each of the five outfits retail for $0.75 USD.

A new Spirit Board Challenge Pack is available as a free download for active Nintendo Switch Online members. The package comes with items that will help bolster your spirits in Spirit Mode, such as more spirit points and additional snacks. You can download the challenge pack from the Nintendo Eshop.

The Fire Emblem: Three Houses protagonist, Byleth, is not Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s final DLC fighter, as game director Masahiro Sakurai confirmed six more characters are in the works. Sakurai has not specified who these six characters are, but he has announced that each one has already been selected. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s Fighters Pass Vol. 2 is available to pre-order now for $30 USD and the characters are expected to arrive by December 31, 2021. Those who purchase the second Fighters Pass will receive the Ancient Soldier costume from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild as a free download. It includes a helmet and outfit for your Mii fighter.
