WARNING! This article contains SPOILERS for Fast X!Gal Gadot's return as Gisele in Fast X was a surprise and brought up many questions that need to be answered by Fast & Furious 11. The saga's writers and director need to answer the question of how she survived the fall from the airplane runway in Fast 6. While the answer to this riddle is undoubtedly vital to the overarching narrative, there are even more interesting mysteries surrounding Gisele's reappearance. Gisele was a member of the Toretto "family" and Han Lue's lover. Her unexpected return opens up a myriad of possibilities and potential conflicts. For one thing, her current allegiance is no longer so clear.
The character's complex history, which involves her transformation from an Agency operative under Mr. Nobody to a trusted member of Dom's family, raises questions about her motivations and loyalties. Fast & Furious 11 needs to delve deep into exploring Gisele's intricate character arc and unravel the truth behind her resurrection and her potential role in future conflicts. Gisele Yashar's (Gal Gadot) return in Fast X should be a cause for celebration among the Toretto Crew. However, resolving the unanswered questions surrounding her death and resurrection could also bring division among the Fast family. Her enigmatic presence will undoubtedly impact the storylines that lie ahead.
Fast & Furious 11 Can Easily Explain How Gisele Is Alive (It's What The Saga Does)
In the world of Fast & Furious, "dead" characters returning is a recurring theme. The saga has a track record of delivering surprising twists and turns, ensuring that the "how" of the resurrection becomes a minor detail in the grand scheme of the story. In short, the Fast & Furious franchise has a knack for retcons. In this case, Gisele's fate could be attributed to a soft landing, her ability to cling onto something, or even landing on an unseen ledge that broke her fall. After all, the Fast & Furious series has never placed strict emphasis on realism, and it is this very quality that captivates its audience.
The Fast Saga thrives on the unexpected, defying the conventional rules of physics and logic. Han's survival after being caught in a car explosion with NOS, and his subsequent return from the dead, is a prime example of the franchise's willingness to bend the rules. Instead of actually being blown up, his death was staged by My Nobody. Similarly, Letty's seeming death from a car crash in Fast & Furious was retconned as an accident that left her with amnesia. Fast & Furious 11 can undoubtedly follow in the footsteps of its predecessors and provide an explanation for Gisele's return that fits within the established narrative framework.
The Biggest Gisele Question Is How & Why She's Working With Cipher
One of the most perplexing aspects of Gisele's return in Fast X revolves around her unexpected alliance with Cipher. As part of Fast X's cliffhanger ending, Gisele unexpectedly comes to Cipher and Letty's rescue in a submarine. The prison where Gisele and Letty are held resembles Cipher's base of operations in The Fate of the Furious. Additionally, Cipher's previous use of a submarine in that movie raises the possibility that she had prior knowledge of the sub's presence and, therefore, Gisele's. It is possible that Cipher and Letty escaped across the tundra without a plan, but such a reckless move seems out of character for Cipher.
It is much more likely that Cipher reached out to Gisele for assistance before Cipher came to Dom at the beginning of Fast X. Perhaps it was even Gisele that encouraged Cipher to warn Dom about Dante's plans. The agreement between Gisele and Cipher to work together may simply be an alliance of convenience. As Cipher previously stated, Dom is the enemy of her enemy Dante, making them temporary allies. The dynamics that unfold once their common foe, Dante, is neutralized will undoubtedly prove intriguing. Gisele's decision to align herself with Cipher raises questions about her true loyalties and the extent to which she is willing to go to achieve her goals.
What Will Gisele's Role In Fast & Furious 11 Be?
Gisele's return in Fast X holds significant implications, particularly in relation to the fate of Han. Her presence essentially guarantees that Han will survive the plane crash since the Fast Saga tends to provide happy endings for its beloved characters. The prospect of Gisele ultimately turning against Cipher and assisting in her downfall, particularly once Dante is no longer a threat, adds another layer of intrigue to the narrative. Gisele may also possess valuable knowledge about Dante that could prove instrumental in the group's mission. Her involvement could extend to assisting in the search for Mr. Nobody by tapping into her connections at the Agency and expertise in covert operations.
Gisele could also serve as a catalyst for re-establishing a working relationship between Hobbs and Toretto's crew. Luke Hobbs (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) unexpectedly returned to the franchise in a post-credit scene to Fast X. She could be a bridge between Mr, Miss, and Little Nobody and Hobbs in order to help Toretto take down Dante. Whatever the case, her motivations, loyalties, and actions in Fast & Furious 11 have the potential to shape the future of the franchise. Just as the franchise has consistently found inventive ways to justify seemingly impossible events, fans can have confidence that Fast Saga will deliver a satisfying explanation for Gisele's resurrection.
