Fast X star Brie Larson has officially confirmed a long-thought-of fan theory concerning her character Tess — that she is indeed Mr. Nobody's daughter.

Mr. Nobody is played by Kurt Russell and has been featured in several Fast & Furious movies, the latest being flashbacks in F9. Fans have long presumed this information to be true, but Larson has now officially made it canon in an interview with Total Film.

"Tess is Mr. Nobody's daughter. She is technically Agency, but she's kind of a bridge, in a way. She doesn't go along with the way that the Agency's headed now that her father isn't there," Larson said.

"She believes in the legacy that her father set up, which is standing with Dom and standing with the Toretto family, and is fighting for that. Dom knows that she has a strong mind and definitely respects that she's gone out of her way to talk to him and wants to build trust."

She continued: "What he asks of Tess is a test. Like, if it's an impossible task, and she can get it done, then that's family for life."

Russell appeared as Mr. Nobody in Fast & Furious 7, The Fate of the Furious, F9, and was also mentioned in Hobbs & Shaw. In F9, the flashbacks showed Mr. Nobody helping Sung Kang's Han fake his death.

In F9, his plane crashed in Montecito after capturing Charlize Theron's Cipher and his fate was left unknown. But Larson's introduction in Fast X, coupled with this information, means we could well find out more about him soon.

Fast X is out in cinemas on May 19.
