20 details you should remember before watching 'Fast X'

0
Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) in "Fast X."
  • "Fast X" is in theaters on May 19.
  • Insider has rewatched the franchise and screened the new movie ahead of release.
  • Dom now has a younger brother. Here's what else you should remember.

It can be really tough to keep the "Fast and the Furious" movies straight.

"The Fast and the Furious" grew from a simple film about street racers and criminals in 2001 to a full-blown action epic centered around Dominic Toretto's (Vin Diesel) family.

The "Fast" franchise increasingly plays like a fun, over-the-top telenovela. Characters return from the dead, long-lost siblings emerge, and a few retcons change up the franchise's viewing order.

The newest addition, "Fast X," takes things back to the events of 2011's "Fast Five." This time, Dom's crew is up against Dante Reyes (Jason Momoa) who's seeking revenge against the Fast Fam for tearing apart his own family.

If you don't have time to rewatch every installment, we're here to help. Here's everything you should remember before seeing "Fast X: Part I."

Hernan Reyes was a drug lord and overall shady businessman who appeared in "Fast Five."
Joaquim de Almeida plays Reyes in "Fast Five."

The Brazilian-based drug lord was the main antagonist of 2011's "Fast Five" who was killed by the film's end.

In "Fast X," Dom's crew meets his son, a very upset and angry Dante (Jason Momoa), who's out for revenge for the death of his dad years ago.

Dom and his crew stole $100 million from Reyes in an epic heist.
Dom and Brian race through the streets of Rio de Janeiro with a vault in "Fast Five."

After getting mixed up with Reyes, Dom and his crew decide to rob him. 

In one of the franchise's best action sequences, Dom ditched an elaborate police station heist after the death of his friend Vince.

Instead, Dom and his crew — Han (Sung Kang), Gisele (Gal Gadot), Tej (Ludacris), Roman (Tyrese), Brian (Paul Walker), Mia (Jordana Brewster), Leo (Tego Calderón), and Santos (Don Omar) —  teamed up with Luke Hobbs (Dwyane Johnson) to storm the station guns blazing and exact revenge on Reyes for killing Vince and Luke's team. 

This is one reason Dante should be upset with Dom's crew.

Luke Hobbs killed Reyes.
Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) kills Reyes at the end of "Fast Five."

Instead of apprehending him, Agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) coldly shot Reyes dead for killing his team at the end of "Fast Five."

However, in "Fast X," Dante appears to target Dom and his crew for the death of his father. It doesn't seem like he's aware, from the trailers anyway, that Hobbs killed Reyes.

Vin Diesel publicly asked Johnson to return for the newest film on Instagram, but the star declined.

The last time we've seen Hobbs was in his spin-off, 2019's "Hobbs & Shaw."

Dom and Letty are married.
A flashback in "Furious 7" showed the two were married in the Dominican Republic.

In "Furious 7" we learn Dom and Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) were married when they were in the Dominican Republic in "Los Bandoleros," a 20-minute short written and directed by Diesel that serves as a prologue to the fourth film. 

In the short, Letty's seen waving around and wrapping a white veil around her neck as she and Dom drive down a road in a white car. They were likely married right before that.

The two don't wear wedding rings. They wrapped their hands in Dom's chain to seal their bond.

You can watch the short here.

Paul Walker's character, Brian O'Conner, is still alive in the "Fast" franchise.
Brian was last "seen" showing up to a Dom Toretto BBQ at the end of "Fast 9."

Walker died in 2013 at the age of 40.

Instead of killing off Walker's character, Brian retired on-screen after 2015's "Furious 7" so he could live out his life peacefully with Mia, Dom's sister, and their children.

Brian's car shows up at the end of "Fast 9," pulling into the Toretto driveway for a family barbecue. The last time we physically saw Brian on-screen was in "Furious 7."

When Brian's mentioned now, he's usually protecting his kids or the future generation of the Fast family.

Dom has a son, little Brian.
Dom named his son after Paul Walker's character, Brian.

Believing Letty is dead (she was "killed" in the fourth film), Dom got together with Elena (Elsa Pataky) after the events of "Fast Five."

In 2017's "The Fate of the Furious" (aka "Fast 8"), Dom learns he shares a son with Elena.

Elena learned she was pregnant shortly after Dom discovered Letty was alive in "Fast 6," but kept it hidden from Dom, waiting for the right moment to introduce the two.

Little Brian will be aged up a bit in "Fast X."

Cipher ordered the mother of Dom's child killed in front of his face. After escaping at the end of "F9," she's just out in the world somewhere.
Cipher has been pulling the strings behind the scenes since "Fast 6." We just didn't know it until more recently.

The cyberterrorist and genius hacker, played by Charlize Theron, turned Dom against his entire family in 2017's "The Fate of the Furious" (aka "Fast 8").

She kidnaps Dom's infant son and ordered the mother of his child, Elena, killed in front of his eyes. As a result, Dom raises his son with his "ride or die," Letty.

Letty likely still holds a grudge against Cipher for kissing her husband in front of her in "Fate." They definitely have unfinished business.

Though she didn't appear in the "Fast" saga until "F8," Cipher has been the franchise's overarching big bad since "Fast 6."

The last time we saw Cipher, she outwitted the villain of "F9," Otto, and escaped into the unknown.

She'll be back in "Fast X."

Dom and Mia have a brother, Jakob Toretto, who's now on the run.
John Cena plays Jakob Toretto in the "Fast" franchise.

Dom exiled his younger brother, Jakob (John Cena), from the family when they were teenagers, blaming him for the death of their father. 

Dom didn't know until "Fast 9" that, according to Jakob, their dad wanted to throw a race to get out of debt so he asked Jakob to fiddle with the car during a pit stop.

Jakob's actions, unfortunately, led to the car blowing up, killing their father.

By the end of "Fast 9," Dom welcomes Jakob back into the family, but the middle child decides to part ways with his siblings to go into hiding from anyone who may be after him.

No one knows Mr. Nobody's current location.
Kurt Russell joined the "Fast" family in "Furious 7."

The government agent, played by Kurt Russell, took a liking to Dom's crew and enlisted them in multiple world-saving endeavors starting in "Furious 7."

At the start of "Fast 9," Dom and his crew learn that Mr. Nobody's plane crashed while transporting Cipher. No one knows his current whereabouts.

In that movie, we also learned that Dom's brother, Jakob, worked for Mr. Nobody for years before going rogue. 

Little Nobody is Mr. Nobody's right-hand man.
Scott Eastwood as Little Nobody in "The Fate of the Furious."

Introduced in "The Fate of the Furious," Scott Eastwood joined the franchise as Mr. Nobody's unnamed agent who helped Dom's crew track down Cipher. 

Dom's team started calling him Little Nobody and the nickname stuck.

Eastwood has said he was "a close friend" of Walker's on social media. He'll return in "Fast X."

Han's back from the dead. Mr. Nobody faked his death.
When we thought Han was burning up in his Mazda RX7, he was actually with Mr. Nobody.

Han (Sung Kang) presumably died at the end of 2006's "The Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift" (aka "Fast 3") in an explosion after a Mercedes crashed into his Mazda RX7.

2013's "Fast 6" flipped the franchise on its head, revealing that Han's seemingly random death was a calculated assassination by Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham).

Shaw sought revenge on Dom's family for putting his brother, Owen Shaw (the villain of "Fast 6"), into a coma and took it out on Han.

In 2021's "F9," we learn Mr. Nobody helped Han fake his death. While the audience thought Han was burning up in his black and orange RX7, he wasn't in it.

Instead, he was at a safe distance from Mr. Nobody. 

We're not shown exactly how Mr. Nobody made it look like Han was still in the sports car. The audience is just told that Mr. Nobody is good with magic tricks.

Gisele, the love of Han's life, died at the end of "Fast 6."
Gisele presumably fell to her death while shooting at a villain who was targeting Han.

Gisele gave her life to save Han, pushing off an elevated, moving vehicle to shoot at a baddie who targeted her love.

She presumably fell to her death as she was slowly swallowed up by darkness.

Her body was never seen on-screen.

Though he won't say it out loud, Han blames himself a bit for Gisele's death.

"He walks around with guilt that he's the one that should have died, not Gisele," Sung Kang recently told Insider while discussing "Fast X."

Mr. Nobody has ties to Gisele.
In "Fast 9," Mr. Nobody claims that Gisele stopped working with him when she started traveling the world with Han.

In "Fast 9," we learn Gisele worked for Mr. Nobody when he was a CIA operative working with the drug trade in Central America. 

As a result, Mr. Nobody poached Han to work for him after her death in "Fast 6" after seeing the work the couple did together. 

Han now has an adopted daughter, Elle.
Han and Elle in "Fast 9."

While working a job for Mr. Nobody, Han came across a young girl whose parents were killed. 

Knowing that she was targeted, Han took Elle (Anna Sawai) in and has been raising her as his own.

During a mid-credits scene in "Fast 9," Han confronted Deckard Shaw.
Han surprises Deckard at the end of "F9."

Han paid Deckard a visit in a surprising mid-credits scene. The scene cut to black before either character could say a word.

For years, fans have demanded "Justice for Han" after Deckard seemingly murdered Han years ago.

Franchise director Justin Lin previously told Insider Han likely would've stayed dead if his killer didn't show up at Dom's family barbecue at the end of "Fast 8," resulting in "outrage from fans."

Despite saving Dom's son, Deckard's presence and sudden chumminess with the "Fast" fam felt confusing and disrespectful to Han's memory.

At the end of 2019's "Hobbs & Shaw," which featured Deckard, the character mentions he needs to make "amends" for things he's done in the past.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, "Fast Saga" writer Chris Morgan said that line was "specifically written and put in there just to let everyone know that he is talking about Han — it is on his mind. It tortures him, and he's going to get to it." 

Fans are expecting a big payoff from this moment when they see the two share the screen.

Dom befriended Deckard Shaw's mom, Queenie.
Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto and Helen Mirren as Queenie in "F9."

Dom became besties with the Shaw matriarch, played by Helen Mirren, in "The Fate of the Furious."

Queenie ordered her sons, Deckard and Owen, to work together to save Dom's son from Cipher since they all share her as a common enemy.

Queenie has a team of her own with Cardi B's character, Leysa, who knows Dom from his gas-stealing days ("Fast 4") in the Dominican Republic.

The Shaw brothers also have beef with Cipher.
Owen and Deckard infiltrate Cipher's plane in "The Fate of the Furious."

Despite Owen and Deckard Shaw being villains in "Fast 6" and "Furious 7" respectively, we later learned that Cipher approached Deckard to work for her.

When he refused, Cipher went after and threatened Owen to do her dirty work in "Fast 6," which left him in a coma and injured. 

Deckard's grudge against Cipher resulted in him working with Dom's crew to help take her down in "The Fate of the Furious."

In "F8," Deckard had a brief run-in with Cipher while saving Dom's son, telling her he was going to make sure she answered for what she put his whole family through.

Unfortunately, Cipher parachuted away before he could make good on his word. 

That score may not be settled.

Ramsey (Nathalie Emmanuel) created a device called the God's Eye.
Ramsey in "Fast 9."

Created with good intentions, the hacking device is able to track down anyone on the planet in under four minutes.

Unfortunately, villains, including Cipher, have wanted to get their hands on Ramsey's work for nefarious purposes. 

Tej and Roman went to space in "F9."
Yes, this is a thing that actually happened and that's all you really need to know about that.

The franchise always loves to top itself in terms of grand stunts and in the last film, Tej and Roman went to space in a rocket-strapped Pontiac Fiero to save the world.

Dom's cross has become the symbol of the "Fast" saga.
Letty gave Little B Dom's famous chain in "Fast 9."

Letty passes on Dom's chain to little Brian at the start of "Fast 9," telling him to take care of it.

Dom's cross has passed hands throughout the franchise from Letty to even Deckard Shaw. In "The Fate of the Furious," Dom hung it above Elena's holding cell as a protective gesture to show he was watching over his loved ones.

It will be back with Dom in "Fast X."
