During the Super Bowl, Universal Pictures made a big investment towards marketing Fast & Furious 6, buying a 60-second spot for approximately $7.6 million to debut the first Fast & Furious 6 trailer. Considering how big the franchise has become, and the fact that this sequel was in development before Fast Five even hit theaters, it’s not surprising.
The earlier plan was to develop (possibly even shoot) both Fast & Furious 6 and 7 at the same time, and while they’re being shot separately, the latest rumor pays tribute to the notion that the stories are very much connected, in more ways than you might have thought…
Ain’t It Cool News has the scoop on the biggest Fast & Furious related spoiler we’ve ever heard. And while it’s obviously unofficial and unconfirmed at this point, it is exciting and believable – so much so, that we wish we didn’t know.
So be warned, if you read ahead, you will be spoiled and you may just regret it…

Around the time when Fast Five was hitting the home video market, reports surfaced about the next franchise installments, with rumors indicating that Jason Statham may be the next high profile star to join the franchise.
As it turned out, Brit actor Luke Evans nabbed the role Statham was thought to take initially and Fast & Furious 6 was shot by itself. According to today’s big scoop from AICN, much of that initial plan may actually hold true.
According to their sources, at the end of Fast & Furious 6, when Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker)’s team of stunt drivers successfully help out Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) in taking down Owen Shaw (Luke Evans) in exchange for their freedom, there’s an additional scene that leads into Fast & Furious 7.
It may end up being a post-credits sequence much like the tease of Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) returning in the Fast Five button, but this one starts with an inside-car view of someone’s hands on a steering wheel of a parked car, with Japanese voices coming though a police scanner in the vehicle. An external shot reveal it to be a custom reinforced Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
The scanner asks for all units to respond to a car chase between a black and orange Mazda RX-7 and a grey Nissan 350Z, and so the Mercedes books it in pursuit. We still don’t see the driver but the Mercedes is running parallel on another street to the high-speeding Mazda and Nissan, before cutting left, onto the same road, and sideswiping the Mazda, flipping it as a result, with practically no damage to the Mercedes.
The mystery Mercedes stops and out steps… Jason Statham, as Ian Shaw, brother to Luke Evans’ character. He walks up to the flipped over Mazda RX-7 and in it sits Han Seul-Oh (Sung Kang). That’s right. The franchise has come full circle and merged with The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, director Justin Lin’s first entry into the series (he’s directed every installment since).
Mind blown? FYI, this isn’t Jensen Ames Statham from Death Race or Frank Martin Statham from the Transporter series or Handsome Rob Statham from The Italian Job, this is Ian Shaw Statham from Fast & Furious, typecast car skills included.
We can therefore assume the grey Nissan is The Drift King Takashi’s (Brian Tee) ride. Will Lucas Black return to the franchise as Sean Boswell? Hit me up on Twitter @rob_keyes and let me know if you dig this idea.
Fast & Furious 6 is directed by Justin Lin and stars returnees Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Sung Kang, Gal Gadot, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges and Elsa Pataky. The core cast welcomes newcomers Luke Evans and Gina Carano.
Fast & Furious 6 hits theaters May 24, 2013.

I wish I could pretend that I didn’t just read this…
Me too.
But we were warned beforehand.
I’m confused though. cause if this is true when does he approach the car? after Sean leaves? cause Sean sees the whole thing and we never see Statham. So either he approaches the car after the explosion or this is false.
If you look at 1:26 of this clip http://youtu.be/Zml7qQpL8Yo?t=1m26s you see that the door to the Benz that hit him in that movie is open and someone is checking on the driver inside. Then they cut to sean and mila’s scene leaving towards the train and a head walks by for a split second at 1:35. I’m assuming that is Jason statham and the link to Tokyo Drift.
imagine if han is somehow still alive… how awesome would that be?
And if Fast & Furious 8 is set after tokyo drift with Lucas joining the cast, that would be awesome.
I was thinking that the other day! That would be awesome, but he’s no Sherlock Holmes, faking his death at the end of every classic book and movie and episode, hahaha. I wish he was, he was my favorite character.
I think he means that there could be a chance that Han was pulled out of the car before it exploded.
Han is actually dead at the post-credit sequence. The vehicle is upside down and he’s barely conscious and strapped into the car upside down, by the time Ian Shaw walks up— drops Letty’s necklace by the car… gives Dom a phone-call… then blows up Han’s vehicle through the leaking fuel. This is the tie-in from Tokyo Drift, as no one knows how Han died.
That would be amazing.
Dear God:
Please keep Lucas Black out of the Fast & Furious franchise.
Thank You,
Amen.
haha..why? was he that bad?
He wasn’t that bad, just sit down and enjoy the movie, don’t worry about actors, seriously…
Huh? He was better than freakin Paul Walker…
naw he was decent als a f***ing hater!!
Maybe theres more story to this, and Ian Shaw is like a cop or something, and Han killed Owen (Since I’m getting a little tired of Dom being the big bad killer) then he’d have a reason to kill him….
not really. Ian Shaw’s tie-in, is purely due to the fact that Dom’s team wiped out Owen’s team. Its a team fight.
i know where to watch this for free now
I think I just busted a nut
IF THIS DOES HAPPEN, Stathom has to be in the same Mercedes as in this click from Toyko Drift. Also you can see a person opening the door of the Mercedes, possibly to check out the driver. Given the sequence that happens in Tokyo Drift, I’m not sure how this is will happen: “He walks up to the flipped over Mazda RX-7 and in it sits Han Seul-Oh (Sung Kang).”

HE DIED IN DRIFT. IT WAS THE OVERLORD WHO KILLED HIM. DO WE NOT REMEMBER? WHAT AM I READING…..
http://youtu.be/epZz9VKzsEw HA youre wrong and im so spoiling it but its not like you guys havent read the article
I so so so hope they don’t kill Han,it would be cool if Jason Statham took him away or something.
Though its highly unlikely that Han will survive as if Jason Statham is there for revenge,he will probably want to kill Han,
But if they manage to save Han,it would be awesome !!!!!
THEY CAN’T KILL HAN, HE DIED IN DRIFT.
Except, it makes no sense bcause Han was hit by that grey Mercedes which is what causes him to flip over. So how could it be that he is hit by Statham’s black Mercedes? It maks absolutely no sense. But, what I di recognize, was Lucas Black’s character was sideswiped by a black Mercedes S-Class, not Han’s car. Not sure if anyone else realized that or if im missing something?? Because it was that grey Mercedes tht collided with Han, and as you ca see, It cause a hell of a lot of damage and that was not a custom class car. As well, The writer of this article stated that the car tha hit Han actually sideswiped it, but his grey Mercedes collided with it?
makes sense watch the clip
This is true he walks to the car and leaves a necklace There then The car explodes lol
This is true he walks to the car and leaves a necklace
yea..that belongs to letty..which she gave it to owen …remember!!
True story
True story.
You can see that the guy in his mercedes, at the end of the clip, is muffling something in the back of the car… propably correcting his seat or something… there is a cut before hans car exploded… afterwards they could make up a story around that… the guy in the grey merc does not have to be statham as he is possibly wearing a hat… leaving any windows open to hans return to fast 7 me thinks?
Tokyo drift is the final installment to the fast and the furious series. Everything after Tokyo Drift is a prequel.
yup and check out the link i posted
PLEASE PLEASE SAY SEAN I SEEEMERGING. Oh my god that would be amazing. Tokyo drift is arguably the best of these films and if not deffinately top three. To bring in sean would make the group so badass. The storm good guy Brian the loud mouth cocky one Roman. The simply badass Dominic and the young one with something to prove Sean. They better ask Lucas black and he better say yes…..wait?! If fast 7 is taking place in Tokyo and Middle East (vin diesel confirmed this) maybe the scene in Tokyo drift where Dom races sean is really Dom approaching sean to see what he’s got and ask for help!!!!!!!
check out the link i put up…
Agree, at the time Tokyo Drift seemed a bit silly, perhaps because 2F2F was such a crap film and everyone thought the series was dead. But in retrospect it was actually a damn entertaining flick with fun characters. All the F&F films are good aside from 2F2F.

your article was correct warning SPOILER
Didn’t know the post-credits showed this clip. It all makes sense now. Thought the tie-in would happen in Fast 7. However, Jason Statham is credited in Fast 6 & 7. He is a great actor. Fast 7 will be a mega hit.
SPOILER!!! At the end of fast 6, Ian shaw hits Hans car, and calls dom. There might be a chance that Han survives, but in Tokyo Drift, tyou clearly SEE HIM DIE!
