The 'Fast & Furious 9' Trailer Hints At Justice For Han


Start those engines (or rockets): The new Fast & Furious 9 trailer teased the return of a fan-favorite character. Per a new teaser released on Friday, it looks like the beloved Toretto crew member Han Seoul-Oh (played by Sung Kang) is somehow alive and well on the heels of his death in the third installment of the Fast & Furious franchise, Tokyo Drift. While the street racer initially perished in a fiery crash at the hands of British ex-operative Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham), Han makes a surprise entrance — with snacks in tow, no less — at the end of the F9 teaser.

While little is known plot-wise about the Justin Lin-directed installment, F9 appears to pick up after some of the major events put forth in the last film, The Fate of the Furious. Dom and Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) are now married and share a child, which offers renewed perspective for the film’s titular character. Dom says in the trailer, “I used to live my life a quarter mile at a time, but things changed. I’m a father now.” Dom’s bliss comes to a halt, however, when his past resurfaces in the form of a brother, Jacob (John Cena), described as an assassin and high performance driver. To top off the tension, Han returns in full glory. “Nice club house,” he says.

Han’s unexpected return signals a win for fans who’ve long advocated on his behalf. While killed off in Tokyo Drift, Han appeared in sequels such as Fast & Furious 6 and Furious 7 in flashback sequences. The crew is initially bent on avenging the death of their close friend, but in Fate of the Furious, Dom seemingly forgave Deckard Shaw for his actions. This subsequent turn in events prompted the #JusticeForHan hashtag that criticized the franchise’s handling of its only main Asian American cast member. On Twitter, fans were quick to celebrate Han’s return in F9.

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times on Friday, Kang reflected on his “emotional” return. "It feels like I’m going back to a family reunion,” he said. “It’s a relationship that has been missing in my life since the last Fast.” While he refrained from getting into the specifics of Han’s return, Kang said of how he and Lin approached the return of his character, “We know who and what Han is… this Han is older. The things that we’ve learned as men in our personal lives, I hope it can transcend on-screen.”

Fast & Furious 9 arrives in theaters on May 22.

23 Nerdy Sex Toys From The 2010s You Didn't Know You Needed

Bild
As 2010 closes up shop and 2020 gets ready to make its debut, I think many of us can agree the past decade was, for lack of a better word, intense. As much as politics may have thrown us for a loop in the last three years, overall the decade was one of growth, awareness, progressive movements, and, of course, innovation. And among those innovations came the explosion of sex toys in a culture that finally got the memo that human sexuality isn't just something to be discussed, but celebrated too. Whenever something takes off, as sex toy innovation did in the past decade, you can usually expect that niche items are to follow. I mean, there has to be something for everyone after all. And, as a decade that saw Game of Thrones become a cultural phenomenon and the return of Star Wars , it was also a decade that appealed to our inner nerd I write this as someone who got a Star Wars tattoo three years ago. From an entertainment standpoint, dragons and droids reigned supreme in some w...

Dickinson premiered on Apple TV+ at the beginning of this month, but it's already generating a lot of hype, particularly for those of us who never quite got over our Emily Dickinson "phase." For those looking for supplementary material in this new phase of the famed poet, look no further than this lit lover's guide to watching Dickinson , replete with all the books you need to read to stay abreast of what's going on in the charming new series. For some, the idea of Emily Dickinson being a bratty teenager is just too much to bear, but at least one Dickinson scholar says the show's portrayal is true to the poet she knows. Whether or not the show remains true in its depictions of the various players in Dickinson's life varies from character to character John Mulaney captures the utter weirdness of Henry David Thoreau in his cameo, while Matt Lauria's Benjamin Newton is less than historically accurate, for example. If you're currently enjoying D...
