When the #JusticeforHan campaign first sprung up in the wake of\u00a0the eighth entry of the Fast and the Furious<\/em> franchise,\u00a0The Fate of the<\/i>\u00a0Furious<\/em>,\u00a0Justin Lin<\/strong> wasn\u2019t even aware of the fervor that had kicked up around the fan-favorite character that he had introduced in\u00a0Tokyo Drift<\/em>. Lin had stepped away from the\u00a0Fast and Furious<\/em> franchise with 2013\u2019s\u00a0Fast & Furious 6<\/em>, having left Sung Kang<\/strong>\u2018s\u00a0Han\u00a0Lue to his tragic, seemingly random doom in Tokyo.\u00a0But after the seventh\u00a0Fast and Furious<\/em> film introduced Han\u2019s app<\/a>arent killer, Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham), only for the eighth installment to welcome Shaw into the family fold, fans began to call for justice.<\/p>\n

When Lin came back to direct and co-write\u00a0F9<\/em><\/strong>, those calls are what inspired him to bring Han back, he told \/Film in an interview ahead of the U.S. theatrical release of the action sequel.<\/p>\n

In an interview I conducted with Lin,\u00a0the filmmaker admitted that he would not have even thought of bringing Han back if it wasn\u2019t for the \u201cJustice for Han\u201d campaign, in which thousands of\u00a0Fast and Furious<\/em> fans called for the franchise to acknowledge the death of a fan-favorite character after his killer was apparently forgiven by the family in\u00a0Fate of the Furious<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I left [the Fast and Furious<\/em> franchise],\u00a0I felt like it was time. That I came in with Han and I was going to leave with Han, so there was never any intention of bringing him back. And we were having a \u2014 I think it was 15th anniversary Better Luck Tomorrow<\/em>\u00a0screening at the Egyptian \u2014 and that was the first time, during the Q&A, someone brought up \u2018Justice for Han.\u2019 I was like, \u2018What\u2019s Justice for Han?’\u201d Lin said.<\/p>\n

Lin explained that he was as upset over the treatment of Han\u2019s legacy as many fans were, and that inspired him to bring him back in F9<\/em>:<\/p>\n

When I found out I was baffled, but I think if anything, I maybe was a little hurt. I think that he was such a beloved character, the way he was treated it was almost like he was just dismissed. And I really appreciated that [social media<\/a> uproar]. So I think the idea of bringing him back, to me, is not justice. I feel like how we treat this character going forward, to me, that\u2019s justice. And I give the fans 100% credit, because I came back not for that reason, I came back for the exploration through Jakob, but now looking back I kind of feel fortunate, because of everything that\u2019s happened, I now get the gift of getting to work with Han and creating hopefully a lot more journey for him to explore.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Lin addressed the franchise\u2019s shaky relationship with life-and-death, explaining that he doesn\u2019t \u201cwake up wanting to bring dead people back!\u201d But Han\u2019s return was especially important to him, not just for the social media outcry it inspired, but for the character\u2019s place in pop culture, as one of the few major Asian-American characters in an action franchise.
\n\u201cThat was one that that I actually felt really proud,\u201d Lin said. \u201cBecause when we started, we were at a very different place. And the fact that people cared enough to voice it, and it became this thing. It made me feel like this character that I\u2019ve been with for all these years meant something to others. I\u2019d never done anything like it, and it is very special. I am glad, if anything, it\u2019s for Han.\u201d<\/p>\n

F9<\/em> hits theaters on\u00a0June 25, 2021<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
