Sung Kang’s Han was killed at the end of 2006’s The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, but he then returned in 2009’s Fast & Furious, 2011’s Fast Five and 2013’s Fast & Furious 6, when it was revealed that the last three movies actually took place before Tokyo Drift, with the end of Fast & Furious 6 revealing that Jason Statham’s Deckard Shaw killed Han, before calling Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto, which set up Furious 7.
We already know that the eighth installment of the Fast and Furious franchise, The Fate of the Furious, arriving next weekend, will set up the final trilogy, with Fast & Furious 9 arriving on April 19, 2019 and Fast & Furious 10 bringing the franchise to a close on April 2, 2021.
With just two movies left in this iconic franchise, it’s possible there may be a push to get Rob Cohen back to direct Fast & Furious 9 or Fast & Furious 10, but that hasn’t been confirmed.
Vin Diesel revealed back in October 2015 that he wanted to bring back director Rob Cohen, who was at the helm for the very first installment of this franchise, 2001’s The Fast and the Furious, for Fast & Furious 8.
