“F9 was so special to be a part of for so many reasons. One of the most important reasons was it brought our brother, and director, Justin Lin back to the franchise,” Diesel says of the Fast filmmaker behind the wheel for Tokyo Drift, Fast & Furious, Fast Five, and Fast & Furious 6. “Justin fuels our saga in ways that no one could even imagine. That’s why the director’s cut of F9 has more Fast DNA in it than anything you’ve ever seen before.”
