Fast & Furious 11 will see the return of several characters who have been absent from the saga for a while, as this is something that the series has been known to do before. The film has been marketed as a celebration of the franchise, and this wouldn’t be possible without returning to plot threads that haven’t been fully resolved.

Not much is known about Fast & Furious 11’s plot, but the cliffhanger ending of Fast X clearly sets up some details that will need to be resolved before Dom Toretto’s story can be drawn to a close. One of these major details was the return of Gal Gadot’s character Gisele, who seemingly died at the end of Fast & Furious 6. Her appearance was a huge surprise that nobody saw coming, and it’s bound to have immense repercussions on the story once she reunites with Dom and his found family.

Despite their fun dynamic and engaging personalities, both Han and Gisele ultimately rank among Fast & Furious’ most underused and misguided characters. It always felt like the writers weren’t exactly sure how these figures fit into the overall narrative of the saga, reducing them to typical ing roles when their potential was actually much higher. Han and Gisele's on-screen romance was a huge selling point of Fast Five and Fast & Furious 6, but this plot thread was never given an opportunity to properly flourish, considering their rather limited screentime.

As Dom and his crew will tell you, a Fast and Furious life is dangerous. Good and bad guys alike have met their end in the car-racing franchise.

By the time Han and Gisele’s romance had been established, both characters were supposedly killed off. Although this was inevitable given Han’s flash-forward death in Tokyo Drift, it was still surprising that he wasn’t given any kind of happy ending regarding his relationship with Gisele. Thankfully, this is now possible thanks to Gisele’s return in Fast X. Gal Gadot's Fast Saga comeback sets the stage for her and Han's reunion in Fast & Furious 11, and justice can be given to these two frequently underused characters.

After everything they’ve been through, Han and Gisele deserve to find their happy ending in Fast & Furious 11. They’re two of the franchise’s most likable characters, and they’ve suffered arguably more than anybody else. They both ‘died’ because of their loyalty to their friends, and each other, which would make their happy ending even sweeter, if it finally happens.

It’s not just Dom’s story that needs to be honored, but everybody else who’s sacrificed their safety to fight for the greater good throughout the Fast Saga.

Although Fast & Furious is known for its ridiculous scenes and over-the-top stunts, there’s still an emotional core to the franchise that needs to be paid off in the final installment. It’s not just Dom’s story that needs to be honored, but everybody else who’s sacrificed their safety to fight for the greater good throughout the Fast Saga. Gisele and Han are perfect examples of this, and the former’s return is an indicator that their individual and collective futures in Fast & Furious 11 look bright.
