Jason Statham Wants to Return to the FAST AND FURIOUS So Han Can Settle His Score
With Han making his return to the Fast and Furious franchise in F9: The Fast Saga, justice for the character is coming. When it does, Jason Statham hopes he'll be there for it. He’s ready for Han to settle his score.
During a recent interview with EW, Statham said with a laugh, "They better bring me back, because I need to put out that fire. If he's got any score to settle, it's with me."
A lot of fans would love to see Justice for Han, and it would be interesting to see the two characters come face to face and see how their story arc would play out. Fast and Furious franchise director Justin Lin shared his thoughts on all this saying:
"I don't want to be negative, I honestly don't want to do that. I do think that, as an outsider looking in, I'm still baffled… So being away, and the way I found out, I still don't know what happened, but it's okay because I got to come back. And one of the great things is that it feels a little poetic. Honestly, if none of that happened, Han wouldn't come back. And so when I left [after Fast 6], I came in with Han, I'm leaving with Han. So if there was no justice for Han and I came back, I probably wouldn't have brought him back. Again, it feels like everything happened for a reason. And I'm not here to judge anything, but I'm glad we're able to put the right touches on it, and, like I said in January, 'justice for Han' isn't just this movie. I think how we treat this character as we move forward, that's going to be the 'justice for Han.'"
Regardless of what happens with the franchise in the future with these characters, Statham wants to be a part of it.
"I'm game. I love Justin Lin, he's a great director. It's a shame because when I joined the franchise all those years back, he went on to do something else and all I did with Justin was a little tag at the end. I need to do a movie with him. And I'd love to see all the Fast crew, Vin [Diesel] and everybody, they're all great people. I have a lot of affection for them."
Well, hopefully, we get to see Statham back in the role of Deckard Shaw at some point in the franchise. After F9, though, there are only two films left for the flagship film series. But there are going to some more spinoffs’s so we’ll see what happens. Would you be interested in a spinoff focusing on Han and Shaw?
