Once again, Paul Walker and Vin Diesel will reprise their roles as Brian and Dominic. They'll be joined by Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez and Dwayne Johnson alongside newcomers Luke Evans and Gina Carano.

Check out the details below (via ScreenCrush):

Since Dom (Diesel) and Brian’s (Walker) Rio heist toppled a kingpin’s empire and left their crew with $100 million, our heroes have scattered across the globe. But their inability to return home and living forever on the lam have left their lives incomplete.

Meanwhile, Hobbs (Johnson) has been tracking an organization of lethally skilled mercenary drivers across 12 countries, whose mastermind (Evans) is aided by a ruthless second-in-command revealed to be the love Dom thought was dead, Letty (Michelle Rodriguez). The only way to stop the criminal outfit is to outmatch them at street level, so Hobbs asks Dom to assemble his elite team in London. Payment? Full pardons for all of them so they can return home and make their families whole again.

The first trailer for Fast and Furious 6 will air during this Sunday's Super Bowl. Not only will we see footage from the film, but we'll learn its official title.

Fast and Furious 6 is scheduled to hit theaters May 24.
