Oh, and did I mention thatHan (Sung Kang)is back from the dead?!
We always wanted to know a bit more about the origins.
And at the same time a very, very, very difficult character to cast.
He had an energy that provoked a kind of curiosity about all of the Torettos.
He just felt right.
And he did a terrific job.
While Jakob was an introduction, the other shocking moment in the trailer was Han’s return.
If you remember, he’s kind of responsible for the away years of Dom Toretto.
So there’s something very special and magical about the Han character.
Without giving away the plot, that’s the theme: don’t give up on family.
Especially if you’re introducing her other brother.That’s right.
It was so, so, so, so important.
And she’s so good in it, as she always is.
The true fans ofFast & Furiousrecognize how critical she is in understanding the whole Toretto family.
It was a blessing, I was so excited about it, it opened up so much more story.
Again, without giving the plot away, it’s genius and I couldn’t have been happier.
She’s the one whocampaigned to be castbecause she so badly wants to be behind the wheel.
Or is this a spoiler too?
[Laughs] Derek, you ask the right questions.
On behalf of Dame Helen, thank you!It’s so awesome.
She gets to drive and she gets to drive sleek.
Everyone is talking about it,I’ve written about it.
I will say that Justin is one of those think-outside-of-the-box directors.
What went into that decision?Well, kind of because that’s always what was discussed.
That just always felt right.
It was something that we’d talked about that became real.
Thankfully, we’ve got plenty of time before saying goodbye.
You see a lot in the trailer, but you haven’t seen anything yet and that’s exciting.
And it feels like it’s coming at the right time.
