With the release ofF9delayed by   almost   a yeardue to the coronavirus outbreak , there ’s plenty of time to release another light film set in the world of theFast & Furiousmovies . The trailer forF9gave   away two stunning Modern developments : that Dom Toretto has a brother , and thatHan is still active .

unluckily there ’ll now be a longsighted waiting to see howF9explores those two revelations , but Universal Pictures has an chance to delve into the backstory   and give fans details to put up the film . DirectorJustin Lincould craft a   prequel short for handout online that could not only keep   the fanbase mad , but   also establish some   background selective information .

Dom ’s brother Jakob ( played byJohn Cena ) clearly has a score to settle , and we ’re indisputable to check why in the course of the film . But what is Jakob ’s account , and why does he join Cipher to settle a score with the Family ? And as for Han , how did he   survive his fiery dying inTokyo Drift?These are questionsthat may not get a lot of attention other than a abbreviated reference or flashback to keep the tale going , but could be the matter of their own mini chapter in theFast & Furioussaga .

AFast & Furiousshort film determine the stage forF9 ’s story   would n’t be unprecedented . In fact , part of Han ’s backstory has already been   explain in the short filmLos Bandoleros ,   direct by Vin Diesel . In that unretentive , Han meets up with Dom in Mexico . There is alsoTurbo charge , which featuredPaul Walker’scharacter Brian O’Conner   evading the law before2 Fast 2 Furious . The same could be done with Cena ’s Jakob , explain how he became a master stealer and assassin , and how he   teamed up withCharlize Theron ’s Cipher .

There are challenge to making a curt film this time around , however   - chiefly , the   coronavirus outbreak itself . The pandemic has pressure   many motion-picture show to shut down product or be delayed . That problem would still be an emergence for a poor film , unless it was animated . An animated short though , takes a long meter to make , and would have had to be bass in development so as to be give up beforeF9’snew liberation datein 2021   - so that ’s not really potential either .   The best   root could be to   edit together a curt film using footage fromF9itself . This would contravene the need for additional filming , and could even improveF9by give it a tight story that ’s not weighed down by explain all the details of Dom ’s family account .
