Jackie claimed it was his first onscreen kiss and he was already well past a hundred films to his credit at that time, although most of them were China-made. Lin carried another actor over from Better Luck Tomorrow. Virgil is the biggest punk of the gang. Is the Hu surname a coincidence? Not likely for Lin.
Again Tobin plays a punk gangster. Tobin reprises Earl in F9. Beyond Hollywood inclusion and representation where Han really matters is global box office. During the pandemic, the United States was dethroned as the biggest box office in the world. As of right now, China claims that title. Perhaps this is one reason F9 premiered there first, as well as in other Asian regions along with the Middle East. Thanks to this, F9 is already the fourth highest earner in the world in It is right behind Godzilla v Kong , but both of them are trailing behind two Chinese blockbusters that most American are completely unaware of yet, Detective Chinatown 3 and Hi, Mom.
Adding Han brought Asian representation to an already diverse cast. Tokyo Drift passed an international milestone where the film made more outside of the U. Lin is smart to bring Han back. There is some deep mythology in the Fast franchise at this point, full of hard-earned lessons and blood-bonded relationships.
Keeping track of it all is like maintaining a tome on Arthurian legend. He was also killed in that film, dying in a fiery car crash in the Tokyo streets. But he was not gone forever—the fourth, fifth, and sixth films revealed themselves to be prequels to Tokyo Drift , and therefore able to feature a still-breathing Han. But just as quickly as they achieved vengeance did they erase it.
In The Fate of the Furious , Shaw, the man who killed their friend in cold blood, is brought into the fold to take down a common enemy. Dom lets him in the same room as his only child without even a mention of Han. By the end of the film, Dom is sharing food and drink with the villainous character at a rooftop barbecue. Barbecues are like the Marriage at Cana in the Fast universe—truly sacred events.
Lin, who originally conceived the Korean character and bent time to include him in his three sequels, struggled to comprehend the creative decisions being made in his absence. Upon seeing the eighth movie, filmmaker BenDavid Grabinski visited a local bar to commiserate with Los Angeles Times entertainment reporter Jen Yamato. Four years later, Lin has answered that question, grabbing the reins of the franchise once again and atoning for its storytelling sins. When executive Stacey Snider offered him creative freedom, however, Lin pitched the studio on an Asian American to play a big-brother-type antihero.
Perhaps the most exciting prospect of Fast 7 to me is that the dynamic has been completely changed; Dom and Brian have been depended on to apprehend a villain or steal a lump of money, but this time, they are being hunted by Ian Shaw Jason Statham , which shows his ruthless personality by stalking and killing Han.

Partway through the movie when the Toretto crew is holed up in an old bunker in the Caspian Sea belonging to Mr.
Nobody whose plane crashed before the movie and is currently MIA. While at the compound, the crew learn that Han is actually alive and was working with Mr. Nobody since they saw him last.
