Characters who should return for Fast 10 and 11

With Fast & Furious 10 and 11 on the horizon and end the series, we'll expect the likes of Dom (Vin Diesel), Letty (Michelle Rodriguez), Mia (Jordana Brewster), Roman (Tyrese Gibson), Tej (Ludacris), Han (Sung Kang), Ramsey (Nathalie Emmanuel) and Sean (Lucas Black) to return, but there are several characters who I would like to see return to the series.

Leon (played by Johnny Strong)

We haven't seen this guy since the first movie, and aside from Letty, he is last remaining member of Dom's original team as Jesse and Vince were killed off in previous films. Also Johnny Strong hasn't done any film work in a while and is reluctant to return, but lets hope Vin will pull some strings to get him back in.

Monica Fuentes (Eva Mendes)

The last time we saw that character was in 2011's "Fast Five" and Eva Mendes seems to have given up taking movie roles, however Vin Diesel  has hinted that the character could return in the future.

Neela (Nathalie Kelley)

"F9" sees the return of "Tokyo Drift" characters Sean Boswell (Lucas Black), Twinkie (Bow Wow) and Earl (Jason Tobin), but absent is Neela, the girlfriend of Sean Boswell. If Sean's role is get expanded beyond "F9" I could not see a reason for them not to bring Neela back.

Leo and Santos (Tego Calderon and Don Omar)

While Santos is confirmed to be in "F9" there seems to be no sign of Leo, but the two are characters are expected to appear in flashbacks with the former played by Ozuna and the latter played by Cered

Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson)

Everyone's favourite law man is skipping out on "F9", but a return is very possible as both Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson seem to have patched things up between them, also Tyrese seemed to have ended his beef with Johnson was well so all is good and hopefully we'll get Johnson vs Cena.

Owen Shaw (Luke Evans)

The last time we saw Owen was when he was helping is older brother Deckard Shaw rescue Dom infant son from Cipher and he did not make an appearance in "Hobbs & Shaw" and likely won't appear in "F9". Owen's story is far from finished as he has to deal with Cipher, who had originally hired him and left him for dead.

Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham)

Another character missing out on the fun in "F9" is Deckard Shaw, but seems like there is a plan in place for the character as he has some unfinished business with the now resurrected Han.

Little Nobody (Scott Eastwood)

Seems like Mr. Nobody's protégé is nowhere to be seem in "F9", but the character's interaction to the family is too good ignore.

Jakob Toretto (John Cena)

 

"F9" sees the introduction of Dom's long-forgotten brother Jakob played by John Cena, so the chances of him returning are very likely.

Gisele Yashar (Gal Gadot)

This is a an undecided one as I would like to see Gisele return and I think she should stay dead. Bit if Owen Shaw can survive the fall, why can't Gisele.

Brian O'Conner

The passing of Paul Walker hit Fast & Furious fans hard, precisely because these movies’ themes of family resonate so strongly. James Wan’s Furious 7 gave Brian and Paul Walker the goodbye he deserves without being distasteful, so it’d be wise to leave Brian behind for good.

But, however macabre it may be, constantly improving VFX technology means no actor stays out of work forever. While it’d take some tasteful-as-hell writing gymnastics for Brian to return, it’s not an impossible task, and both of Walker’s brothers have even revealed that the character may return in the future.

Look out for my review of "F9" on June 25th
