‘Fast and Furious 9’ Trailer Loves Family, Hates The Laws Of Physics

Just moments ago, the trailer for Fast and Furious 9, aka F9 dropped and it brought a hell of a whopper with it. We won’t tell you who isn’t dead, but someone is definitely not dead.

The new trailer also gives us our first look at John Cena as the bad guy from the film and the newest layer of the FF Family. It turns out he’s Dom’s (Vin Diesel’s) baby brother and he’s teamed up with Charlize Theron to kill him.

One of the things we love about FF movies is their flagrant disrespect for the laws of physics. We aren’t talking about the “magnet plane” bit in the trailer, but the action that comes right after. It’s not realistic, but its the kind of stuff we all used to do with our Hot Wheels when we were kids.

No matter how fast you are, no one outruns their past. Summer 2020 is the time for F9, the ninth chapter in the saga that has endured for almost two decades and has earned more than $5 billion around the world. Vin Diesel’s Dom Toretto is leading a quiet life off the grid with Letty and his son, little Brian, but they know that danger always lurks just over their peaceful horizon. This time, that threat will force Dom to confront the sins of his past if he’s going to save those he loves most. His crew joins together to stop a world-shattering plot led by the most skilled assassin and high-performance driver they’ve ever encountered: a man who also happens to be Dom’s forsaken brother, Jakob (John Cena, next year’s The Suicide Squad). F9 sees the return of Justin Lin as director, who helmed the third, fourth, fifth and sixth chapters of the series when it transformed into a global blockbuster. The action hurtles around the globe—from London to Tokyo, from Central America to Edinburgh, and from a secret bunker in Azerbaijan to the teeming streets of Tblisi. Along the way, old friends will be resurrected, old foes will return, history will be rewritten, and the true meaning of family will be tested like never before. The film stars returning cast members Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Jordana Brewster, Nathalie Emmanuel and Sung Kang, with Oscar® winner Helen Mirren and Oscar® winner Charlize Theron. F9 also features Grammy-winning superstar Cardi B as new franchise character Leysa, a woman with a connection to Dom’s past, and a cameo by Reggaeton sensation Ozuna. F9 is produced by Neal H. Moritz, Vin Diesel, Jeff Kirschenbaum, Joe Roth, Justin Lin, Clayton Townsend and Samantha Vincent. www.thefastsaga.com
