Vin Diesel Reveals Why Fans Of The First Fast And Furious Movie Will Enjoy F9

Last month, it was reported that Vincent Sinclair, Vin Diesel’s son, will play a younger version of Dominic Toretto in F9. So the movie will have flashbacks to Dom, Mia and Jakob’s childhood, and Diesel’s mention of seeing family members we never thought we’d see has me thinking these flashbacks will also include their parents, specifically one tragic moment. It was revealed in The Fast and the Furious that their father was a stock car racer who died while competing, and if you look closely at the Super Bowl preview for F9, there’s a shot of what looks like a stock car race. Methinks F9 will finally show how Dom, Mia and Jakob’s father died two decades after we learned about his demise.

But looks back to the Toretto days of yore are just one of the many things to look forward to in F9. The next Fast & Furious movie will also feature Jakob Toretto working alongside Charlize Theron’s Cipher, the return of Sung Kang’s Han Lue, Helen Mirren’s Magdalene Shaw finally getting to drive and even a trip into outer space. And even after all is said and done in F9, there are still two more movies left to look forward to from the main Fast & Furious film series, to which Vin Diesel said that “you can only imagine what is to come.”

F9 will race to the big screen on June 25, and if you’re curious about what else is on track to arrive later in the year, read through our upcoming 2021 movies schedule.
