Fast& Furious 9 director Justin Lin says his primary motivating for returning is to finally make good of its Justice for Han promise. Boarding the franchise in 2006 with The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Lin went on to direct the next three movies in the film series: Fast& Furious, Fast Five, and Fast& Furious 6. Now, he’s back for his fifth entry in the widely popular franchise.

The ninth main entry in the auto-centric film sequence will be generated Dominic Toretto’s( Vin Diesel) organization back together. This time, they go up against his secret brother, Jakob( John Cena ), who’s working with Cipher – Charlize Theron’s criminal conceive/ cyberterrorist who first shall be included in F. Gary Gray’s Fate of the Furious. Aside from Dom’s normal cohorts, the first trailer for Fast& Furious 9 also confirmed the return of three Tokyo Drift personas including Sung Kang’s Han.

As revealed, Han was supposedly killed by Deckard Shaw( Jason Statham) at the end of Tokyo Drift( which makes sit between Fast& Furious 6 and Furious 7) as an achievement of reprisal for Dom’s wrongdoings against Owen Shaw( Luke Evans ). So there’s an understandable chaos when he was taken as “family” by the end of Fate of the Furious. Like a lot of followers, Lin was also confused and he was determined to straighten things up which is why he signed up for Fast& Furious 9 as he explained to Total Film( via ComicBook ):

“Han represents so much to me because he was a character before Fast& Furious. Somebody asked me about Han and[ Deckard] Shaw. I was like: ‘Wait, what? Shaw is at the barbecue in 8? ‘[ chortles] Actually, I was so confused. One of the large-scale concludes “re coming” was I felt like we needed to correct something.”

The Fast& Furious spinoff Hobbs& Shaw furthered Deckard’s redemption by teaming him up with Luke as the pair save the nations of the world from an extremely dangerous virus by kill super soldier Brixton Lore( Idris Elba ). There’s no text more when followers will see the villain-turned-ally next, but it’s clear that he has a future in the right, especially with the off-shoot movies. Whether or not he’ll factor in the primary narrative once again is a big question, however. Given that, it’s inquisitive how this Justice For Han movement will finally pan out. Located on Lin’s observes, he’s adamant to see through it, but without Deckard, it’s puzzled how suitable justice will be served.

Of course, apart from the guess about how Justice For Han will be accomplished, there’s the tower question about how Han is alive in the first place. For years, the Fast& Furious film serial discussed him as dead, and for some reason he’s not. Looking at the Fast& Furious 9 trailer, it seems like Letty( Michelle Rodriguez) and Mia( Jordana Brewster) recruit him to join in Dom’s new mission.
