Universal Pictures put together a daring plan to promote the trailer for F9, the ninth film in The Fast Saga and the tenth overall in the Fast & Furious franchise, and according to fans it was worth the hour wait. After listening to a few live performances and bearing witness to cast interviews (and countless teases that the trailer was coming), it finally arrived and it made the biggest possible splash it could have.

Included in the 3+ minute trailer are some dramatic and truly outrageous developments for the series including: Dom and Letty now have a son named after the late Paul Walker’s Brian, John Cena‘s Jakob is revealed to be Dom’s long-lost brother, also he’s teamed up with Charlize Theron’s Cipher, giant flipping trucks, cars with actual rockets strapped to them, a magnet plane that carries another car, a car crossing a suspension bridge as it collapses, and even the return of the fan-favorite (and previously thought dead) Han Lue. Needless to say, there’s a lot going on, and fans have a lot of thoughts. We’ve collected the best for you below!
F9, which is the official title for the movie and the shortest of the series, is scheduled to be released on May 22, 2020.
The film stars returning cast members Vin Diesel, John Cena, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Jordana Brewster, Nathalie Emmanuel and Sung Kang, with Oscar winner Helen Mirren and Oscar winner Charlize Theron. F9 also features Grammy-winning superstar Cardi B as new franchise character Leysa, a woman with a connection to Dom’s past, and a cameo by Reggaeton sensation Ozuna.
Absolutely ridiculous
F9 looks absolutely ridiculous, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. When you’ve got magnet stealth planes and swinging cars and brotherly clashes, I’m all in. Plus that tag at the end!https://t.co/06dp6rTI37

Humble beginnings
It’s funny how #FastAndFurious9 started out as a dude stealing DVDs in a street race and now has John Cena and The Rock doing Tarzan swings off a cliff in a car with superhuman soldiers trying to destroy the world. pic.twitter.com/mnjEcRCxAn

Trucks on trucks on trucks
“Yo dawg, I heard you liked the truck flip from THE DARK KNIGHT. Well we took your truck flip and put a bunch of other trucks on it so you can enjoy watching all these trucks flip at the same time.” #FastAndFurious9 pic.twitter.com/GVSrqfP84u
