However, the director explained that they decided to bring back the character played by Sung Kang because it was "important to the community," which is why he will join Toretto's band again.

Thus, the idea of family will be vital throughout the film -although it is also one of the elements that unites the entire saga-, so the main team will try to maintain all the success achieved, despite the threat that the Toretto's own brother.

In addition to the aforementioned characters, Tyrese Gibson (as Rome), Chris Bridges (as Ted Parker), Charlize Teron (as Cipher), Nathalie Emmanuel (as Megan Ramsey) and even Cardi were confirmed for the cast.
