Summary

  • Fast & Furious 11 is shaping up to be the final movie for Dom Toretto and his family, meaning the movie could see some interesting team-ups between characters.
  • Fast 11 may see Han and Shaw team up due to shaky history, making up for lackluster reunion in Fast X.
  • Han and Shaw working closely in Fast 11 would make up for past missed opportunities, adding entertainment value and reconciliation.

Fast X ends, almost everyone part of Dom's family is in danger, with many character fates left unclear by the end of the movie.

The spinoff Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Reyes, the danger so many characters currently face means there's still plenty left for them to do in the sequel. One of these events could be fulfilling a dream team-up between two characters, something Fast X hinted at without offering proper payoff.

Fast & Furious' Final Movie Update Is Good News After Fast X's Confusing Franchise Status

A new update from Vin Diesel regarding details about the Fast & Furious movie, which is set to be the franchise's last, is reassuring.

Han & Shaw Should Team Up In Fast & Furious 11

Han and Shaw would make for the perfect team-up in Fast & Furious 11 because of the shared history both characters have. In Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift, Han was seemingly killed in a car crash, something Fast & Furious 6's post-credits scene revealed was orchestrated by Shaw. While the character becomes a key villain for the series' seventh installment, The Fate of the Furious sees him redeemed, becoming another member of Dom's ever-growing family by helping the group take down Cipher.

However, F9 ends up revealing that Han is still alive, using Mr. Nobody's assistance to fake his death and work for his team. Because him and Shaw are now part of the family despite past tensions between them, it acts as the perfect setup for the duo working together in Fast & Furious 11. The pair teaming up despite how tense their relationship is would be the perfect way to continue their storylines. It would also make up for the fact that, when they did finally come face-to-face in Fast X, the results were lackluster.

Fast X Wasted Han & Shaw’s Fast & Furious Reunion

The Duo Barely Got Any Time Together

During the events of Fast X, the family recruits Shaw to assist them in taking down Dante, an event that leads to a skirmish between him and Han. This event doesn't go anywhere, though, as the former antagonist goes off on his own, unseen for the rest of the film. This wasted reunion means Fast & Furious 11 needs to make up for it by including the two working together. By working so closely together, the duo would be able to reconcile their differences while providing plenty of entertaining banter because of their tense past.

While it's unclear if Han and Shaw could work together in Fast & Furious 11, their disappointing reunion in Fast X means the next movie should make up for the lost opportunity. While the Fast X post-credits scene confirmed Hobbs will be the next opponent Dante faces down, the reuniting duo working close to one another could provide the boost Dom's family needs to win. Given how satisfying it would be seeing them as a team, the next installment would make up for a missed chance and make them work together.
