Twitter’s Going Crazy Over The New Fast & Furious 9 Trailer

Fast & Furious 9 – or F9, as they seem to be calling it now – is quickly approaching its theatrical release and Universal wants to make sure that everyone and their grandmother knows that it’s on the way. Then again, given the global fanbase that the series has, it’s not like they really have to do much work to market it, right?

Still, after a far too long period of radio silence, the floodgates truly opened up this week. From teasers to character posters and more, we’ve got a lot from the Fast & Furious camp over the past several days and it all culminated in today’s explosive full-length trailer. Teasing more stunts, more chase scenes and more muscles, it was an absolute treat for fans. And that’s all without even mentioning the surprise reveal at the end that Han is back (which We Got This Covered told you was happening months ago).

So, it only makes sense that Twitter is now overflowing with folks expressing their excitement for the upcoming ninth installment in the seemingly never-ending series. And you can check out a sample of what people are saying down below:

Clearly, fans are pumped for the movie and no doubt it’s going to be another billion dollar box office behemoth for Universal. And with the series reportedly coming to an end after the tenth film, it’ll be interesting to see what kind of seeds it plants for both the finale and presumably, the countless spinoffs that will follow once the mainline movies have concluded.

But staying in the here and now, and Fast & Furious 9 drives into theaters on May 22nd, and make no mistake about, there will indeed be justice for Han.

Ron Howard Says He Had A Blast Making Solo: A Star Wars Story

Ron Howard Says He Had A Blast Making Solo: A Star Wars Story

Star Wars has always been a story about family and the legacies that we each give ourselves over to, rebel against, or build for ourselves. The same is true on the production side, particularly since that galaxy far, far away was annexed by the House of Mouse. Most notably, Leia Organa actress Carrie Fisher’s daughter, Billie Lourd, appeared throughout the Sequel Trilogy as Lt. Connix and eventually stood in (with a bit of computer-generated assistance) as a young Leia herself in The Rise of Skywalker after her mother’s passing.

That tradition has also extended behind the camera, as last November’s fourth chapter of the Disney+ streaming series The Mandalorian, “Sanctuary,” was directed by Jurassic World co-star Bryce Dallas Howard. She, in turn, is the eldest daughter of Academy Award winner Ron Howard, whose performing pedigree goes all the way back to his time playing Opie Taylor on The Andy Griffith Show during the 1960s. The Howard patriarch also got final directing credit on the 2018 film, Solo: A Star Wars Story (written by Jonathan Kasdan, the son of Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi co-writer Lawrence Kasdan), after taking over from original directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.

Speaking with Collider’s Steve Weintraub at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, Ron Howard revealed that his daughter had accompanied him during his time on Solo, playing padawan to the filmmaking Jedi, to learn the finer details of directing, and that “she had a couple of pretty great suggestions.” He described the process of picking up Solo mid-production as “almost a rewrite and a continuation,” having to rearrange many of the pieces that Lord and Miller had already put in place while building new material around them.

Howard, however, was undaunted by the undertaking, explaining:

“I had a blast making that movie, and it did remind me that I really enjoy that kind of playful storytelling and the action, and I love tech. I love actors more, but it’s great what you can offer audiences.”

Of course, Solo offered audiences a look into the untold history of one of the Star Wars universe’s most adored characters, but was significantly hamstrung by its need to cast a different actor to fill Harrison Ford’s unfillable boots, which one reviewer called “a cinematic cardinal sin.”

The decision incited the fury of some of the franchise’s most vocal devotees, but Howard recalled advice that he received from the galactic grandmaster himself, George Lucas, regarding their relationship with those diehard enthusiasts. “It’s for the fans,” Lucas told him: “And yet you have to have the courage to hear them but tell the story you want to tell.”

Solo: A Star Wars Story is now available on Blu-ray, DVD, and digital download, while the first season of The Mandalorian is streaming on Disney+, with a second season confirmed for later this year.

Fast & Furious 9: What Happened To Han In Tokyo Drift

Fast & Furious 9: What Happened To Han In Tokyo Drift

Earlier today, the first trailer for Fast & Furious 9 began making the rounds, and unsurprisingly, fans have been freaking out about Han’s return to the series. The level of excitement is understandable – after all, actor Sung Kang’s last major role in the franchise was nearly seven years ago – but his casting does raise a couple of questions. What exactly happened during the events of Tokyo Drift, and how is Han returning from the grave, so to speak?

Let’s address that first question. As longtime fans know, the series tends to play fast and loose with its timeline, as some movies have acted as either sequels or prequels to past installments. Specifically, despite being the third film (in terms of release date), Tokyo Drift actually takes place after the events of Fast & Furious 6, which explains how Han was able to appear on-screen despite his death.

Having traveled to Japan after taking down Owen Shaw, he befriends Sean Boswell, and over the course of Tokyo Drift, Han teaches his new “student” the art of drifting. However, his life is (supposedly) cut short when he’s T-boned by a Mercedes, with audiences left to believe he died in the ensuing explosion.

In Fast & Furious 6‘s mid-credits scene, it’s revealed that Deckard Shaw, Owen’s brother, was behind the wheel of the Mercedes, having taken out Han as revenge for his brother’s death. Over the next few films, Deckard became a member of Dominic Turreto’s crew, which rubbed some audiences the wrong way, seeing as how his role in Han’s “death” was never really addressed.

Of course, as the trailer for Fast & Furious 9 revealed, Han is actually alive and well, and it looks like he’ll finally be getting the justice he deserves. It’s not entirely clear exactly how he survived the aforementioned crash (or what he’s been up to this whole time), but we imagine that’ll be answered in the coming months.
