Excluding the archive footage used of Han Lue from Tokyo Drift used in Furious 7, we haven’t seen Sung Kang play the character since 2013’s Fast & Furious 6. Furthermore, within the Fast & Furious timeline, F9 marks Han’s first post-Tokyo Drift appearance. So with so much time having passed since both movies, it’d be disappointing if Han came back, but was stuck on the sidelines. Luckily, that won’t be the case, as we’ve seen Han in the F9 trailers not only driving around at breakneck speed, but also fighting some bad guys. We wouldn’t have it any other way.
