It is the sequel to The Fate of the Furious (2017), the ninth main installment, and the tenth full-length film released overall in the Fast & Furious franchise. The first film in the series since Fast & Furious 6 (2013) to be directed by Lin, and the first since 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003) not to be written by Chris Morgan, the film will star Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, John Cena, Jordana Brewster, Nathalie Emmanuel, Sung Kang, Helen Mirren, and Charlize Theron.
After the events of The Fate of the Furious (2017), Dominic Toretto and his family must face Dominic’s younger brother Jakob, a deadly assassin, who is working with their old enemy Cipher, and who holds a personal vendetta against Dominic.
F9 is scheduled to be released in the United States on May 28, 2021. Its release was delayed twice from an initial May 2020 date due to the COVID-19 pandemic.F9 will be followed by a tenth installment.
The biggest newcomer in Fast & Furious 9 will be John Cena, who was said to be playing a “badass” character in the ninth movie, and that’s turned out to be none other than Dom’s previously-unknown brother Jakob.
According to ‘digital spy’, Diesel expanded, telling Total Film: “The theme that we’ve been playing with up until this point has been the family that you create with people from all walks of life, the family that is not blood.
“What makes the story of Fast 9 so fascinating is how that altruistic concept could neglect the family defined by blood. That’s where this story goes.”
There’s not much else we can tell from the trailer about why or how Han is back, but we have been promised that it makes sense.
