Sung Kang has had an interesting journey in the Fast and Furious franchise. He made his Fast debut as Han in 2006’s The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. Even though he didn’t make it out of that film alive, he did wind up appearing in Fast & Furious, Fast Five and Fast & Furious 6. How exactly did the series get away with that? By restructuring the timeline so that the events of Tokyo Drift happen after Fast & Furious 6. The thing is though, that still meant the fan favorite character died eventually. Or so we thought.

In the Fast & Furious 6 credits scene, it’s revealed that the accident that appeared to kill Han in Tokyo Drift was caused by Jason Statham’s Deckard Shaw, teeing him up as the antagonist of Furious 7. However, then the trailer for F9 came out and revealed Han’s return. How exactly did that happen and, perhaps more importantly, how does the franchise justify the character’s return story-wise? While one is bound to want to see a favorite character live on, it must be done with purpose.

While celebrating the release of the F9 director’s cut, Kang detailed his experience bringing Han back to the franchise. Catch our chat about that and more in this interview!
