After years of being kept apart, a new Fast X video is hyping up the long-awaited face-off between Han and Shaw. Jason Statham’s Deckard Shaw was memorably introduced in the post-credits of Fast & Furious 6 as the man behind Han’s seemingly accidental death in Tokyo Drift, having killed Sung Kang’s character as retribution for his brother. Shaw would enjoy a bit of a redemption arc in both The Fate of the Furious and Hobbs & Shaw, while Kang was revealed to have survived in F9: The Fast Saga and faked his death with the help of Kurt Russell’s Mr. Nobody.
With just over a month remaining until its arrival, Universal Pictures has released a new, behind-the-scenes Fast X video.
The featurette, as seen above, offers further looks at some of the high-stakes action to come from the upcoming sequel, with director Louis Leterrier also promising a return to the practical roots of the franchise. The Fast X video also hypes the tense reunion between Statham’s Shaw and Kang’s Han.
Will Fast X Finally Settle Justice For Han?

As the franchise turned Statham’s Furious 7 villain Shaw into a hero with Statham and Dwayne Johnson’s Hobbs & Shaw spinoff, those who first fell in love with Kang’s Han in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift quickly took to mounting a fan campaign calling for justice for his character. Justin Lin, who co-created Han for Better Luck Tomorrow before bringing him into the action franchise, promised in his directorial return with F9: The Fast Saga that the film would begin setting the path for Han to get justice for his unceremonious death.
The 2021 sequel explained that Han had faked his death with the help of Russell’s Mr. Nobody, who trusted him after having previously supervised Gal Gadot’s Gisele and would reunite with Dom’s crew to put a stop to a rogue covert operative and cyberterrorist using a weapons program. During F9: The Fast Saga‘s mid-credits scene, Han was seen appearing on Shaw’s doorstep, with the mostly reformed villain shocked to find him alive.
