This time, that threat will force Dom to confront the sins of his past if he\u2019s going to save those he loves most. His crew joins together to stop a world-shattering plot led by the most skilled assassin and high-performance driver they\u2019ve ever encountered: a man who also happens to be Dom\u2019s forsaken brother, Jakob (John Cena, the upcoming The Suicide Squad).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast &amp; Furious 9 sees the return of Justin Lin as director, who helmed the third, fourth, fifth and sixth chapters of the series when it transformed into a global blockbuster. The action hurtles around the globe\u2014from London to Tokyo, from Central America to Edinburgh, and from a secret bunker in Azerbaijan to the teeming streets of Tbilisi. Along the way, old friends will be resurrected, old foes will return, history will be rewritten, and the true meaning of family will be tested like never before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The film stars returning cast members Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris \u201cLudacris\u201d Bridges, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jordana Brewster and Sung Kang, with Oscar\u00ae winner Helen Mirren, with Kurt Russell and Oscar\u00ae winner Charlize Theron.
