Letty Pada Asalnya Hanyalah Watak Gadis Hadiah Perlumbaan Sahaja

 Letty lakonan Michelle Rodriguez di masa kini mungkin antara karakter wanita dalam francais Fast & Furious yang cukup ikonik di samping Mia lakonan Jordana Brewster. Sukar untuk membayangkan watak tersebut kini setanding dengan watak Dominic Toretto lakonan Vin Diesel sejak francais ini diperkenalkan pada 2001.



Dalam satu temubual bersama Entertainment Weekly, Michelle Rodriguez dan Jordana Brewster berdiskusi tentang bagaimana karakteristik Letty berubah dari filem ke filem. Michelle Rodriguez pada asalnya tidak mahu melakonkan watak itu dan kemudiannya ubah fikiran. 
It went from a trophy girlfriend to this really layered character. - Jordana Brewster
It was a reality check for them to realize that the streets don't work like that. You don't just get with a guy because he's hot. There's a hierarchy there. Can that hot guy get beat up by who you're dating? If he can, then you don't date him, because why would you want to lose the hierarchy?" The F9 star continued, "In order to keep it real, I had to school them: 'I know you guys like Hollywood and all that, but if you want it to be realistic, this is how it really works, and I'm not going to be a slut in front of millions of people, so you're going to lose me if you don't change this.' And they figured it out. - Michelle Rodriguez
Michelle Rodriguez juga menambah bahawa dia turut terlibat dalam mempengaruhi perkembangan watak Letty sepanjang filem. Dia tidak tahu watak wanita di dalam francais Fast & Furious kelihatan terkebelakang daripada watak lelaki. 
I felt like you don't sit around and let your boys throw down without getting your hands dirty. If you don't, then are you just there to model? That doesn't work where I come from. So I fought for that -- and then I remember hitting the guy in the face by mistake! [Laughs] It was so messed up. I did the same thing in Girlfight and Avatar. I didn't mean to, I'm just really bad at it. - Michelle Rodriguez
Watak Letty pernah dianggap mati seketika dalam francais Fast & Furios sebelum kembali semula. Perjalanan watak Letty sungguh berliku dan menjadi antara watak yang menolak watak-watak lelaki kehadapan. Sebagai contoh, selepas kematian Letty dalam Fast & Furious 5, Dom dan Brian bergabung untuk cari pembunuh Letty

Letty muncul semula dalam Fast & Furious 6 dan didedahkan sebagai menghidap amnesia dan menjadi watak antagonis buat seketika

Fast & Furious 9, filem terbaru dalam francais diarahkan oleh Justin Lin dan menampilkan barisan pelakon ikonik francais ini seperti Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, dn juga turut memperkenalkan John Cena sebagai Jakob, adik kepada Dom
