So, when can we expect Fast and Furious 9 to drop, where can we watch it and who is in the cast? This is what you need to know.

What is Fast and Furious 9 about?

Viewers will watch as Dom and his family go head-to-head with his previously-unknown brother Jakob, a deadly assassin.

Jakob is working with their old enemy Cipher, who holds a personal vendetta against Dominic.

The latest Fast & Furious film will also go to new heights, as the trailer shows Roman and Tej take off in a rocket - headed for space. They’re somewhat short of NASA standards, in handmade astronaut costumes sealed with Duct Tape.

Though the entire movie will not be played out in space, there will be flying cars and a futuristic feel.

Hans also returns from the dead, so it seems we have a lot to catch up on when the film is finally released.

Who is in the cast?

In true Fast and Furious fashion, the cast does not disappoint.

In November 2020, returning director Justin Lin confirmed the movie was "officially finished", while praising his crew for "working through such unprecedented times flawlessly" throughout the coronavirus pandemic.
