The "Wild Speed" movies have featured some gut-wrenching end credits scenes, but the end credits scene for F9 may be the juiciest yet
After being delayed for over a year due to a coronavirus pandemic, "Wild Speed 9" finally opens this week Vin Diesel reprises his role as crew leader Dominic Toretto and is joined by franchise regulars Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, and Jordana Brewster Newcomer John Cena joins the cast as Jacob Toretto, Dom and Mia's long-lost brother
On F9, Dom, Letty, and their son Brian lead a quiet life But a new threat forces Dom to confront his past sins The friends reunite to stop a plot that threatens to shake the world, but it is Dom's brother Jacob, a skilled hitman and high-performance driver, who appears Dom's view of family becomes even more complicated
Previous "Wild Speed" films have had end credits scenes that set up the next film; the end credits of "Fast Five" reveal that Letty is still alive, while the end credits of "Fast and Furious 6" show Jason Statham introduced that he would be playing the villainous Deckard Shaw
F9 also has an end credits scene that brings together two characters with very contentious histories
Spoilers for "Wild Speed" follow
To give some background on the end credit scene, Han (played by Sung Kang), who was "killed" in a fiery automobile accident in 2006's "Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift," is back in the new film
During F9, the team learns that Han is alive and working with Mr Nobody (Kurt Russell) One of Mr Nobody's secret agents goes rogue and uses Deckard Shaw to fake Han's death, all to protect Han's ward Elle (Anna Sawai) The rogue agent turned out to be Jacob Tollett, Dom and Mia's brother He was part of a plot to steal a device that could hack any computer weapons system
However, Jacob would help his brother foil the plan Dom and Mia let him go, but it seems as if this will not be the last time we will see Jacob
And at the very end of the film, the crew celebrates their victory with a barbecue Brian's (the late Paul Walker) car, a blue Skyline, pulls into the driveway
The credits roll before fans have time to process this emotional moment Midway through, a scene begins to play
Deckard Shaw appears to be training with a punching bag He then unzips it and finds a man inside The man begs him to exchange the drive containing his plans in exchange for his freedom But Deckard already has the drive, so he unzips the bag and starts punching again
He is interrupted by a knock at the door Deckard opens the door and there is Han, the man he should have killed years ago Cut to black
Deckard and Han have a lot of history, to say the least Deckard killed Han in Tokyo Drift - or so he thought, and F9 explains that Mr Nobody used Deckard to fake Han's death
So is Han trying to avenge a death he did not actually suffer? Or is his appearance a set-up for "Hobbs and Shaw 2"?
The latter seems likely, as many fans were upset that Deckard was given a spin-off series after appearing as a villain But now F9 has delivered #JusticeforHan Han could be active in "Hobbs and Shaw 2"
Or, since Han is confirmed to return in "Wild Speed 10," the end credits scene in "Wild Speed 9" may be setting up Shaw's return to the main film
