The Fast & Furious 9 trailer teaser offers a sneak peek at Dom's (Vin Diesel) life with his new family: Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) and his son Brian. And though all seems well in the preview, there's clearly trouble on the horizon, with Letty ing Dom's prized necklace onto Brian with the warning that "It's for protection... from what's coming".
Since its launch with The Fast and the Furious in 2001, the Hobbs & Shaw aside).
With the Fast & Furious 9 trailer confirmed to premiere as part of a live concert event this Friday, January 31, Diesel and Universal are providing a sneak peek at the preview ahead of time. The pair have now released the first footage from the film online, which you can watch in the space below (courtesy of Fandango).
Dom and Letty were ready to settle down and raise Brian by the end of Fate of the Furious, so it looks like Fast & Furious 9 will pick up at a logical place in the story from there. The movie's actual plot is under-wraps ahead of its trailer's release, but it should have something to do with Dom may be looking for some payback as well, considering Cipher held Brian and his biological mother Elena (Elsa Pataky) hostage to make Dom work for her, only to kill Elena when Dom failed to completely obey her commands. Then again, now that he's a father, the older and more mature Dom is probably more concerned about making sure Cipher no longer poses a danger to those he loves, which would explain why he and Letty are begrudgingly returning to the battlefield.
Dwayne Johnson's Hobbs & Shaw spinoff, resulting in an altogether overstuffed narrative. Fortunately, F9 (as Fast & Furious 9 is being referred to in its official marketing material) has less on its plate and should be better able to focus on Dom and his family's story as a result. Rest assured, however, there will still be plenty of high-octane set pieces to go around, as the full-length trailer is sure to highlight later this week.
