One of the biggest fan-favorite characters in the entire Fast & Furious franchise is Han Seoul-Oh, played by actor Sung Kang. The character died in Tokyo Drift, but he was such a hit with fans that writer Chris Morgan decided to alter the entire series’ timeline in order to incorporate him into more movies in the saga.

The franchise has since closed the loop and passed beyond Han’s death, but Morgan has hinted that there’s a chance we might see him again.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to speak with Morgan about The Fate of the Furious, and while our full interview will be published next week, I wanted to pull out one particularly interesting piece of our conversation that I think will be of interest to Fast fans everywhere.

Are we ever going to loop back around in the timeline and see Han again?

Chris Morgan: “Now, that’s funny because I’ve actually been thinking about that a lot. So it’s interesting that you and I are on the same wavelength there. But I guess we’ll just have to wait and find out. I love Sung – he’s one of my favorite people on the planet.”

So is Han in Fast 9? Morgan’s response isn’t exactly a confirmation, but the fact that the franchise’s primary writer has been thinking about that character again is significant. And considering the pretzel twists in this saga’s timeline already, it certainly wouldn’t be outside the realm of possibility to loop back around for another encounter with him. After all, the character already has a history even before the Fast and Furious franchise.

[RS4-]

Charlize is Han.

 

[Han Seoul-Oh]

Please be real.

 

[Cagey]

Johnny Tran as the F&F universe's Big Bad is all I want.

 

[FelipeMGM]

Nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to this franchise

 

[Bad_Boy]

Has he been in any movies since he died in f&f?

 

[Litan]

Don't play with my emotions.

 

[BronsonLee]

I DIDN'T SEE NO BODY

 

[bobbychalkers]

How sway? How?

Johnny Tran as the F&F universe's Big Bad is all I want.

I would actually love that.

 

[strafer]

Johnny Tran as the F&F universe's Big Bad is all I want.

Nah, Lance and his snakeskin pants are.

 

[Wanda/Wander]

DO IT

 

[Krev]

I had no idea his full name was Han Solo. What the fuck.

 

[RandomExpletive]

I eagerly await the retcon where he crawls into a convenient manhole under his car to avoid the blast

Either that or just go full on stupid and bring him back cause why not

 

[chrisPjelly]

Remember when they "killed off" Michelle Rodriguez and retconned her back to life. Yeah, DEATH HAS NO HOLD ON FAMILY

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Has he been in any movies since he died in f&f?

He's been "dead" post Tokyo Drift. He wasn't in F7.

 

[Clipse]

Bring him back as Robo Han. Pretty much a live action Genji.

 

[Double D]

I had no idea his full name was Han Solo. What the fuck.

Came in here to post this. Quality stuff.

 

[- J - D -]

Why not, they brought back Letty after what happened in Fast 4.

 

[R10Neymarfan]

Wonder what they do to save him. He clearly died. Probably can't pull a Letty again so I'm down for time travel shenanigans

Spoiler

or superpowers

. The series has already jumped the gun right?

 

[ultron87]

Letty already miraculously survived approximately the same death, so it isn't like they need to even do weird timeline stuff.

 

[HeartlessNobody213]

Wouldn't be mad at that at all.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I like how his name is a pun on Han Solo

 

[Bad_Boy]

He's been "dead" post Tokyo Drift. He wasn't in F7.

I meant movies, period. Like hollywood, not just the f&f series.

 

[jon bones]

omg plz

gimmie CyborgHan

 

[Slayven]

They are basically comic characters now, why not?

 

[Mass_Pincup]

Of course.

Bringing Han back would be a two bird with one stone kind of thing.

-Han is back
-Statham can be apart of the family

 

[Schlorgan]

They'll pull a Saints Row 4 with Johnny Gat.

He was abducted by aliens right before he died.

 

[zeemumu]

I DIDN'T SEE NO BODY

WHOSE BODY DID DOM TAKE BACK TO LA?!

 

[Mechazawa]

Johnny Tran as the F&F universe's Big Bad is all I want.

One last disrespect of my family.

Fuck it, bring everyone back from the dead.

 

[TheOfficeMut]

Being that it looks like Statham's character is looking more like a "good" guy in this next film, I can see Han's character having survived the explosion so that Statham can comfortably transition to being part of the "family," as he would have technically not killed anyone in it.

 

[LordOfLore]

Wonder what they do to save him. He clearly died. Probably can't pull a Letty again so I'm down for time travel shenanigans. The series has already jumped the gun right?

Spin-off and flashbacks.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Of course.

Bringing Han back would be a two bird with one stone kind of thing.

-Han is back
-Statham can be apart of the family

it was all a big misunderstanding

 

[Tiberius]

They could merge F&F and BTTF : Back to the furious !

 

[SeanC]

They haven't done a twin bother story yet so it's about that time I guess.

 

[Archpath1]

just like in Futurama's All My Circuits!

he also had a case of "Amnesia!"

 

[kurahador]

Gal Gadot next?

 

[iMax]

Time travel is the next logical step for F&F.

 

[Future PhaZe]

WHOSE BODY DID DOM TAKE BACK TO LA?!

you shut your whore mouth!

shhhhhhhh

 

[sixteen-bit]

They could merge F&F and BTTF : Back to the furious !

followed by Fast to the Future

 

[Krev]

2 Fast for TIME

 

[Lijik]

yall arent thinking big enough with robo han- consider knightrider han

 

[cdyhybrid]

Eva Mendes about to drop another file on The Rock's desk in the F8 post-credits scene.

 

[TheOfficeMut]

Really, this franchise's biggest mistake was killing his character. I'd totally accept a retcon or an explanation for how he could have survived that blast.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Bring Gal back first imo.

 

[zeemumu]

2 Fast for TIME

Fastpoint paradox

 

[Thebeardofknowledge]

Yaaaasss please

 

[BLOODED_hands]

What is the actual timeline? Fast and Furious, 2F2F, insert every movie that has come out, Tokyo Drift?

Or is there no actual timeline?

 

[Spring-Loaded]

followed by Fast to the Future

bruh



bruh

Time travel? I'm sure they've exceeded 88mph nearly every time they drive. Just need to get that flux capacitor in working order.

Then again, I suppose if you need more Han, you could always watch his origin story in Better Luck Tomorrow.

Yeah, what the hell was that all about, biggest cocktease in history.
