Sun Kang, the actor who plays the Japanese member of Toretto’s family, wanted to tell in an interview the keys to how he managed to keep Han’s resurrection secret in Fast and Furious 9 . If in itself, the most famous car series in the world does not stop reinventing itself and being surprised with greater follies in each new installment, it was a brilliant marketing idea to announce, in that precise advance, the return of a character so dear to the fans of the franchise. Yes, at the time there was information that the actor was in London at the time of filming, however there is no confirmation or visual proof that he was actually filming something.
The secrecy reached such a point that as Sun Kang recounted in an interview for Digital Spy, the entire team members did everything to hide him: “Justin and Universal, they were all really on top of hiding me on set . There are many photos of the cast from the beginning. If you look at the Fast 9 photos from the set, there are all those birthday parties that I’m never invited to. ” Far from looking like a bummer, Kang found the idea a lot of fun as he says “I saw the birthday cakes from afar, but it ‘s part of the fun. It’s really cool to be a part of that kind of narrative. “
In January 2020 the trailer exploded on the network and as soon as the character appeared, fans began to develop theories about what Han’s resurrection would be like in Fast and Furious 9 . Since the last we heard from him was that the character of Shaw, played by Jason Statham blew up his car with him inside. Regardless, Kang is 100% confident in the director’s work : “I think if it wasn’t Justin, I would be very worried and apprehensive. But Justin and I developed the character together. He understands that character as much as I do . ” The latest installment of Fast and Furious has achieved great figures in the Asian market, where it has been several weeks since its premiere. Which according to Diesel could be the penultimate film of the franchise will arrive in Spain on July 2, 2021.
