While several characters have died throughout the Fast And Furious franchise, losing Han was a particularly difficult blow for fans. The guy had a heart of gold, and he was often the voice of reason during his run on the films.
Han was killed by Deckard Shaw at the end of the sixth movie - Well, technically in the third movie but who's counting - and it was a bit of a tearful goodbye.
His death seemed like a pretty definitive affair, but we've learned that nothing is definitive in the Furious films. In fact, screenwriter Chris Morgan told Slashfilm that he's considered bringing Han back around again.
"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."
This could mean that Han is coming back from the dead in the ninth film, but it could also mean that the timeline will bend once again. Remember, Han was killed in the third film, Tokyo Drift. However, he appeared in the next three movies because the franchise altered the timeline to take place before Tokyo Drift.
Yeah, it's pretty complicated. Don't complain though, because any way to add Han back into the mix would be more than welcome.
The eighth film, Fate Of The Furious, is set to hit theaters April 14.
From the shores of Cuba and the streets of New York City to the icy plains off the arctic Barents Sea, our elite force will crisscross the globe to stop an anarchist from unleashing chaos on the world's stage…and to bring home the man who made them a family.
For The Fate of the Furious, Vin Diesel is joined by a returning all-star cast that includes Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Nathalie Emmanuel, Elsa Pataky and Kurt Russell. In addition to Theron, the series welcomes newcomers Scott Eastwood and Oscar winner Helen Mirren. The film is directed by F. Gary Gray (Straight Outta Compton) and produced by returning producers Neal H. Moritz, Michael Fottrell, and Diesel.
The Fate of the Furious opens in theaters April 14, 2017.
