Vin Diesel and the official Fast and the Furious pages took to socials to announce that they too would be postponing the worldwide release of their movie due to the complications of the coronavirus outbreak. The movie was originally set to release May 22nd of this year but has retracted that date in order to give fans the most comfortable watching experience. In an interesting play that we have yet to see or hear about, the team also took the opportunity to announce the new release date of April 2, 2021.
The Fast and the Furious series has gained a cult-like following since the first movie was released in 2001, with fans heavily anticipating each and every release after that. The upcoming, Fast 9, has had fans especially excited for the return of the fan-favorite character, Han, who was "buried" just two films ago. Han's character was originally killed off in the 3rd film of the series, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, however, the timeline of the movies had been adjusted and written well-enough to bring him back for plenty of installments since then. That said, as of the most recent movie, Han's character was dead. Han returns in the trailer in, as only Han would.
We understand the importance of making tough decisions like this for the safety of the public. Stay safe everyone!
“Fast & Furious 9” Teaser Trailer Is Here: Watch
Watch the first teaser for “Fast & Furious 9.”
The first trailer for the upcoming Fast and Furious 9 movie is coming later this week on January 31st. It will be reportedly unveiled as part of a huge Fast and Furious fan event and concert down in Miami, Florida, but before that all happens, Universal has decided to come through a little early and roll out a teaser for the trailer to hold us over.
In the teaser, Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) adjusts to his new life as a father and husband to wife, Letty (Michelle Rodriguez). It starts out as Dominic working on his vehicles in his home-garage with help from his son, before it transitions to Dom laying him down for bed. Letty then walks into the room and gives her son the cross necklace that his dad gave her, in effort to help keep him safe from “whats to come.”
“I have a gift for you. Your daddy gave me this, now I’m going to give it to you. It’s for protection from what’s coming,” she said before the trailer ends.
Check out the teaser (below) and look for the full trailer to arrive this Friday. Fast & Furious 9 is expected to hit theaters on May 22nd.
