First Fast And Furious 9 Trailer Drops: John Cena Is Dom's Bro, And An Old Character Is Back
The moment you’ve been waiting for/dreading - depending on your standpoint on the direction the franchise has taken - is here. Yep, it’s Fast and Furious 9 trailer time. And the near-four-minute clip has been dropped with some fanfare - via a concert in Miami, no less.
The ninth instalment in the near-20-year-old ‘saga’ - simply called F9 - sees the familiar bunch of street racers turned heist experts turned quasi-federal agents back on the big screen. We have Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez), Roman Pearce (Tyrese Gibson), Tej Parker (Chris “Ludacris” Bridges) and Mia Toretto (Jordana Brewster), coming together as a family to…go up against family.
Yep, John Cena - announced as a new cast member last year - plays Dom’s brother. He’s a master thief and assassin. And a handy driver, of course. It’s not entirely clear what the beef between the two is about, but while it’s sorted out, there will be many crashes and explosions.
Nathalie Emmanuel is back for her third Fast and Furious outing - having joined the cast for F7 - playing hacker Ramsey. Helen Mirren is reprising her role as Magdalene Shaw, first seen in Fate of the Furious, while Charlize Theron is returning as cyberterrorist Cipher.
The big surprise, though? Han Lue (played by Sung Kang) is back, despite being very dead by F7.
Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham won’t be joining the far-fetched fun this time around, with the pair instead appearing in spin-off film Hobbs and Shaw last year.
F9 will be released on 22 May 2020 in the USA.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Glad the comments so far aren’t a competition to see who can complain the most about “BuT ItS NoT ToKyO DrIfT”
Can this series just die already.
i bet that they are just making movies to get to:
Fast ten your seatbelts
Underrated comment of the year
Why?
Exactly.
I remember when this was about street racing and it had 2 good films then Tokyo drift ruined it before it went to a more serious action film setup, this movie series has changed so much, its weird, but as for this as a proud resident of Edinburgh I can say I saw the filming work being done! it was amazing!
I loved Tokyo drift. IMO it was perfect balance of non car stuff and car stuff.
Wrong, Tokyo Drift brought a refresh to the 2 1/2 movies at the time, it’s still a driving skill movie and the idea having both was a good thing, until the 4th to 7th movies went rogue which are really 3,4,5 THEN comes TD which messes up everything
Are the directors having a competition on who can ruin the series the most?
