Han was then retconned to have died in Tokyo Drift's conclusion at the hands of Shaw's vengeful brother Deckard (Jason Statham). However, F9 reveals that Han never died during that race. Instead, he faked his death with the help of Mr.Nobody (Kurt Russell).
After his partner Gisele (Gal Gadot) died, Han took the job of protecting Project Aries, and by extension Elle, at the behest of Mr. Nobody (Kurt Russell). Once it became clear that the only way to truly do that was to appear dead to the world, Mr. Nobody faked Han's death, using Shaw's attack as cover.
Then, in Fast and Furious 6's end credits scene, Han's death was retconned with the cause of his crash revealed to be Jason Statham's Deckard Shaw. So just how was Han back in Fast and Furious 9? It turns out that Han's death was faked by Kurt Russell's Mr Nobody, with some high-tech visual illusion.
Uncle Kamata reveals that Han has been secretly stealing from the Yakuza by not informing DK of all the side deals. DK is frustrated and upset by this, and after Kamata leaves, he and Morimoto drive to Han's garage.
Walker didn't reprise his role as Brian in Tokyo Drift, but that's not because he didn't want to. He revealed in the past that his absence came down to a new direction that the studio wanted to take the Fast & Furious franchise.
Many people say that the series went bad after Paul Walker's death. While I do agree, I believe it started to go downhill after The Rock was introduced in Fast and Furious 2009. The Rock introduced another level of insane and impossible stunts, producing a larger element of unrealism.
Character development after the events of Tokyo Drift
Sean Boswell, Twinkie and Earl also returned to the series in F9. During the events of F9, Boswell, Twinkie and Earl had left Japan and were involved in rocket development in Germany.
Nobody helped Han fake his death at the hands of Shaw and keep his survival a secret, becoming an agent in order to keep focused and possibly heal from Gisele's death. These events would imply that Han is the reason why Mr. Nobody would assist Dom and the crew in their fight against Deckard Shaw.
Following the changes, the sequel was said to take place in 2014, putting Han in the 30-year-old age range, which was closer to Kang's age of 34 when Tokyo Drift premiered.
The following day, Han met Sean outside his school and demanded that he get into his car. Han made a point to tell Sean that he was in his debt and would be his personal “errand boy” on account of the car that he owed him. Sean was willing to agree to the terms so long as Han taught him to drift.
Although most of the Fast films follow on from each other, there is one standout exception: you guessed it, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. Although it was the third Fast film to be released in cinemas, Tokyo Drift is actually set between Fast & Furious 6 and Furious 7.
In Furious 7, it is revealed that Dom Toretto won the race, despite using a muscle car against a Japanese drift car. Regardless of who won the race, Sean and Dom continue to be friends and Sean's story in the Fast & Furious franchise may not be finished.
Han explains that he crashed the same car years ago, killing his wife Zhang and 10-year-old son Gong Gong. Every year, Mr. Han destroys the car on the anniversary of the accident and spends the rest of the year fixing it to punish himself. Dre decides to train harder and help his teacher overcome his trauma.
Nobody but went rogue. To allow Han and Elle to stay undercover, Mr. Nobody fake Han's death, using Deckard Shaw as cover and Han went into hiding underground.
However Han survives and goes into hiding. At the end of Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, he is beaten and humiliated by Sean in their final race, giving Sean the title Drift King. In a deleted scene, Takashi is shown being taken away by Kamata's men after he got out of the wreckage of his Z33.
Han was clearly devastated when Gisele "died," so he could not have initially known that she survived the events of Fast & Furious 6. However, he could have learned about her survival at any time afterwards.
The Fast and Furious movies aren't in order, which has left a lot of fans wondering how Tokyo Drift relates to the story. As it turns out, Universal wanted to focus on a high school character and setting. It was during this time Han was first introduced to the franchise.
Han was then retconned to have died in Tokyo Drift's conclusion at the hands of Shaw's vengeful brother Deckard (Jason Statham). However, F9 reveals that Han never died during that race. Instead, he faked his death with the help of Mr. Nobody (Kurt Russell).
'" This is why you never see Han eating Cheez-its or M&Ms; he's always munching on something you wouldn't typically find in an American vending machine. For a character who hails from Japan, he's got Japanese snacks like Kameda Seika Kakinotane Rice Crackers or Meiji Hello Panda Cookies.
It's been almost a decade since Kylo Ren killed his father, Han Solo, in the dramatic twist ending of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” But Adam Driver still hasn't lived down that scene with Harrison Ford, telling Chris Wallace in a new interview, “Somebody reminds me about that every day.”
Han was born 32BBY, Luke 19BBY so they are 13 years apart making Luke 19 and Han 32 when they met in ANH. Chewie was born 200 BBY, in Solo, Han says he looks good for 190 years old. That would be 10BBY, make Han 22 and fix the film 10 years before ANH. Han died on Starkiller base in 34ABY when he was 66 years old.
Summary. Tokyo Drift was filmed in Tokyo without permits due to strict regulations on filming in the city. Director Justin Lin used guerrilla filming tactics to capture scenes in Shibuya, resulting in an arrest.
Nobody, who warns him that both Dante and the new leader of the Agency, Aimes, are coming after him. Dom then tracks down Dante in Rio de Janeiro, challenging him to a street race, which he loses after saving Isabel Neves, the sister of Elena, from a car that Dante lodged a bomb into.
