The new F9 featurette takes a look at the series’ history and shows a look at some new stunts to make sure everyone is ready for the return on Friday.
F9: The Fast Saga sees the return of Justin Lin as director, who helmed the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth chapters of the series, which transformed into a global phenomenon. 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 Tbilisi. 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.
