The "Fast & Furious" franchise has occasionally used its ever-confusing timeline to bring some characters back to life, but that wasn't the case for Michelle Rodriguez's Letty. Instead, she simply didn't die in the fiery explosion believed to have been her end, walking away with just a slight case of amnesia. Although learning of Letty's resurrection was a surprise, Rodriguez has become a veteran actor in Hollywood when it comes to her characters returning from the dead.
In "Resident Evil," her character Rain Ocampo dies after getting infected, only the fifth movie in the series, "Resident Evil: Afterlife," to resurrect her, chalking it up to a cloning experiment performed by Umbrella. In "Machete," her character Luz gets shot in the eye, with the film later revealing she survived the injury, now sporting an eye patch. Even in Rodriguez's most recent project, "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves," she dies just for Chris Pine to revive her almost immediately. Pair those with Letty in "Fast & Furious," and the actress has had enough of returning from the dead.
So, when James Cameron thought about bringing her character back in "Avatar: The Way of Water," Rodriguez had to draw the line, saying that it would be "overkill" to get resurrected yet again. "I don't understand, it's so weird," Rodriguez told Variety. "I guess they don't know what to do with the girl who doesn't have a boyfriend. 'She doesn't have a boyfriend. Should we keep her alive or kill her?'"
