I trust this guy.” Internally, it was a bit of a last hurrah because I had so many reservations about it. I’m glad that I trusted my gut and said, “I would just love to be on the team with someone like Justin. In Better Luck Tomorrow, he’s usually written as standing, brooding, smoking, you know? ( Laughs.).
There’s not much written on the page for him. At that time, I was just hungry for screen time and a role that had different dimensions. ( Laughs.) Everything works out when you trust, you know? The thing is, even when I was pushing to play Ben, I said to myself, “Should Justin cast me to play Ben?” I thought it would kind of compromise his vision of the movie that he wants to make, so I agreed with him.
So you met Justin Lin on Better Luck Tomorrow, and while the Internet claims you wanted to play the Ben (Parry Shen) character, you apparently settled for a character named Han.ġ00 percent. We can actually go out and see people in the audience and celebrate F9 with people. It sounds corny, but it’s important, right? So I’m really happy it’s kind of ending. But not being able to hug each other is making people feel lonely.
It’s been such a long time since I’ve even given somebody a handshake. I’m so relieved that this is somewhat ending, at least for us here. He also shares his excitement regarding his current role on Disney+’s Obi-Wan Kenobi. In a recent conversation with THR, Kang also discusses Han’s emotional reunions with Vin Diesel’s Dom, as well as Tokyo Drift‘s Lucas Black, Jason Tobin and Shad “Bow Wow” Moss. So how is that resolved? And if I find the man responsible for it, what do I do to him? So we’ll see.” It hasn’t been served because someone that is dear to Han is not here anymore. “But within the story, if you just take away my personal feelings and involvement, yeah, hasn’t been served. “As Sung, it’s fairy-tale land right now,” Kang explains. In fact, Kang alludes to the need for justice toward a different Shaw brother. But even though Han survived Deckard Shaw’s attempt on his life, Kang, along with Lin, insists that “ Justice for Han” hasn’t been served yet. And oddly enough, after wrapping War in 2005, Kang and Statham happened to discuss the former’s upcoming role in Tokyo Drift.

When Statham was integrated into the Tokyo Drift car crash footage in Furious 6 and Furious 7, archive footage of Kang was used in both cases. In the post-credit scene of F9, Kang and Statham share the screen for the first time since 2007 Statham-Jet Li actioner War, as Han confronts the man who tried to kill him.
So I was totally honored, and that’s when I started taking it super seriously.” I used to always think of it as a hokey action flick, but within that, there’s so much power to make a difference and truly impact people. It taught me and instilled in me that Fast is no longer hokey. “She’s a fan of the idea of what Han represents to so many, Asian or not. “Jen had a vigil for Han - an actual vigil with people and candles,” Kang tells The Hollywood Reporter when asked about his first time seeing the “#JusticeForHan” social media campaign. That was indeed the case - until Los Angeles Times film reporter Jen Yamato had other ideas.ĭwayne Johnson on Why That Vin Diesel Instagram Post "Was Not the Right Thing to Do"

And when Furious 6‘s post-credit scene revealed that Jason Statham’s Deckard Shaw was the driver of the Mercedes that seemingly killed Han in Tokyo Drift, the book on Han and Kang’s role in the franchise appeared to be closed shut. This creative choice led to three Tokyo Drift prequels involving Han including Fast & Furious (2009), Fast Five (2011) and Fast and Furious 6 (2013). After Kang’s fan-favorite character Han was killed off in 2006’s The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, the Fast creatives - including Kang’s friend and collaborator Justin Lin - decided to retcon the franchise’s timeline in order to keep Han in play. They say lightning doesn’t strike twice, but F9 star Sung Kang begs to differ.
