Corona , a Mexican lager produce by Cerveceria Modelo and possess by Belgian super beer maker AB InBev , has - astonishingly - never pay up a single dime bag for its inclusion in theFast & Furiousfranchise , but has evidently been pass $ 15 million worth of product placement by the films . As revealed by executive producer Neal Moritz revealed onBill Simmons’podcast , Corona was the unofficial prescribed beer of theFast & Furiousmovies . Now that the coronavirus outbreak is running rearing around the existence , it has allegedly scared consumers into keep off the Corona brand ( although according to Corona ’s US producer , Constellation Brands , this is not the case ) , can we still anticipate to see Dom and his family ware Corona in what is now next year ’s installment of theFast & Furiousfranchise , Fast & Furious 9 ?
The eighth instalment of the Fast Saga , The Fate of the Furious , actually feature zero appearances by Corona lager . Instead , the grapheme swapped Budweisers and Stella Artois . This may be because the parent company behind all three in conclusion paid for the express comprehension of those particular two , but that ’s yet to be confirmed .
Regardless , the on-going coronavirus crisis may put theFast & Furiousfranchise ’s usage of the Corona brand to bed . It ’s an highly tense meter , and the media is plastered with coronavirus tidings and updates every hr of the day .
