Fast & Furious 6
firm & Furious Presents : Hobbs & Shaw- the first of potentially manyHobbs & Shawmovies andFastspinoffs - did n’t actually include the first Shaw theatrical role introduced in the franchise , so where isthatShaw ( Luke Evans ' Owen Shaw ) and what was he doing during the events of this flick ? We move to Shaw ’s country of origin last hebdomad to experience a sample of that family ’s life-style ( includingdriving Deckard Shaw ’s McLaren 720S ) to celebrateHobbs & Shawreleasing on on 4 K Ultra HD , Blu - ray , DVD and On Demand to witness out more .
This question of Owen Shaw ’s absence seizure from the first motion-picture show to delve into his family is the individual gravid point of confusion for fans of theFast & Furiousfranchise , a serial publication that ’s gotten very – let ’s say , creative – with its continuity . Characters seemingly go and then get back , others who come in back disappear without account , and sometimes a eccentric murders another and everyone pretends it did n’t happen . All of these inconsistencies seem to stem from the Shaw family who get more of their mysterious blood research inHobbs & Shaw , as well as plenty of setup for future stories .
come to : Why Was Luke Evans ' Owen Shaw Missing From Hobbs & Shaw ?
I speak withHobbs & Shawdirector David Leitch who was useable to promote Universal Pictures Home Entertainment ’s launch of the collision spinoff , and tried to get as much information as possible on Owen ’s whereabouts but the truth is , at least for Leitch , there was n’t a programme for this character or how he jibe into the family chronicle .
Rob Keyes : I heard you babble on a podcast about the reason Luke Evans ’ Owen Shaw is not in this motion picture where you enunciate that because there are a lot of characters already - you ’re introducing Hattie ( Vanessa Kirby ) - there was n’t really space for Owen . What do you think Owen is up to during this picture show ?
David Leitch : ( laughs ) I do n’t know . I did n’t have a backstory in mind for Owen ’s fibre or where he was . But I ’m sure he ’s doing something in Shaw ’s existence with Queenie , and he could arise at any time in this creation . For sure .
Queenie of course is the Shaw family materfamilias , Magdalene Shaw ( Helen Mirren ) . We also spoke with franchise story architect Chris Morgan the other week , who ’s been write for the serial sinceTokyo Drift , and he was able-bodied to offer at least a tease of the future .
" I suppose we are , again , a mankind that is expanding . We have a lot of fib that we ’re going to be telling and a lot of interconnected character things . I would just say that I ’m a Brobdingnagian fan of that character . Just wait . "
Morgan is a fan of the Luke Evans character and suggest that fan should expect him back . With how theFast & Furiousuniverse is expand into spinoffs and take deep dives on sealed characters we expect Owen to pop up in future Shaw report , and mayhap even in the mainlineFastseries again .
The first Shaw character in the Fast & Furious franchise was inexplicably absent in Hobbs & Shaw
For context , Owen Shaw appear as the main antagonist of 2013’sFast & Furious 6where he we learn he has enroll Letty ( Michelle Rodriguez ) who we all thought was dead after the events of the franchise ’s quaternary entry , simply titledFast & Furious . She had inexplicably survived but lost her memory . Dom Toretto and his “ Family ” defeated Owen in the end , nearly kill him . InFast & Furious 6’spost - credit sequencewe meet Owen ’s sidekick Deckard ( Jason Statham ) who kill Han in a moment of forecast revenge – tying the master series with the events ofTokyo Driftand set upFurious 7 .
Fast & Furious Narrative Architect Says “Just Wait” on Owen Shaw’s Return
Deckard then swear out as the villain ofFurious 7before reluctantly becoming some variety of antihero in a fundamental part ofFast 8where he returns – with his amply live and capable buddy Owen – to team - up and help Dom rescue his child . This movie is where the mother of the Shaw brothers , Queenie , is first introduced . We learn that the whole menage seems to be either British undercover agent or elect extra forces .
hail time forHobbs & Shaw , and Hattie ( Vanessa Kirby ) also gets introduce but Owen appears nowhere in a movie about redeem her . Nor does he seem in flashback with young Hattie or Deckard . He only make a quick acknowledgment from Queenie while she ’s in prison house betimes in the moving picture . know how the serial publication has done right by its character over the years , we fully expect to see Luke Evans return as Owen Shaw in anotherFast & Furiousmovie . That whole syndicate could sure warrant a movie of their own according to Leitch .
