Jason Statham’s Deckard Shaw will definitely return inFast & Furious 11, but one of his family members should also appear in the final film in the long-running franchise. TheFast & Furiousfranchise started as a series of movies about street-racing, but quickly evolved into one of the biggest action franchises in Hollywood. Because of this, some of the biggest action stars in the world have appeared inFast & Furiousmovies. For example, Dwayne Johnson joined the series inFast Fiveand Jason Statham appeared in the post-credits scene ofFast & Furious 6.
Johnson’s Luke Hobbsand Statham’s Deckard Shaw became such popularcharacters in theFast & Furiousfranchisethat they eventually received their own spinoff film.Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shawwas released in 2019 and revealed more about the two titular characters. Deckard’s mother and brother had already been introduced in previous films in the franchise, butHobbs & Shawintroduced his sister, who is played by Vanessa Kirby. However,Kirby’s Hattie Shaw unfortunately hasn’t appeared inThe Fast SagasinceHobbs & Shaw.
Vanessa Kirby’s Hattie Still Hasn’t Returned To The Fast Saga After Hobbs & Shaw
Hattie Shaw Was A Great Character In Hobbs & Shaw
InHobbs & Shaw,Hattie is an MI6 agent who is forced to go on the run after she injects herself with a supervirus to prevent Brixton, the movie’s primary villain, from obtaining it and harming humanity. However, it doesn’t take long for Deckard Shaw and Luke Hobbs to track her down. Even though Deckard and Hobbs do not want to work together in the film, they are forced to do so to save Hattie’s life and take down Eteon, the terrorist organization that Brixton works for.
Fast & Furious 11will need to juggle a lot of characters, but Hattie definitely deserves a spot in the movie after stealing multiple scenes inHobbs & Shaw.
Hattie is a great character inHobbs & Shaw, and even forms a romantic connection with Hobbs in the movie. However, Kirby unfortunately hasn’t been seen in theFast & Furiousfranchise since the ending ofHobbs & Shaw.Since Deckard and Hobbs are both appearing inFast & Furious 11, it is the perfect time to bring Hattie back, as well. Since it is the final film in the series,Fast & Furious 11will need to juggle a lot of characters, but Hattie definitely deserves a spot in the movie after stealing multiple scenes inHobbs & Shaw.
The Shaw Family Has Been One Of The Best Things About Fast & Furious For A While Now
Hattie Could Reunite With Deckard & Hobbs In Fast & Furious 11
When Luke Evans first appeared as the villainous Owen Shaw inFast & Furious 6,I would’ve never guessed how important the Shaw family would end up being in the franchise. After Dominic Toretto and his crew took down Owen Shaw in the franchise’s sixth film, Deckard served as the main antagonist ofFurious 7. Statham’s ruthless portrayal of Deckard inFurious 7made him one of the bestvillains in theFast & Furiousfranchise. However, since then, he has found redemption and served as an ally for Dom and his crew.
The mother of the Shaw children, Magdalene, has also helped Dom in multipleFast & Furiousmovies. Magdalene is a resourceful and knowledgeable character in the franchise, and is so memorable because she is played by the legendary Helen Mirren. With her role inHobbs & Shaw,Kirby further proved that the Shaw family is one of the best parts of theFast & Furiousfranchise. Therefore, it would be very disappointing if most of the members of the family didn’t appear in the final movie.
Hobbs & Shaw 2 Not Happening Means A Lot Of New Characters May Never Appear Again
A Sequel To Hobbs & Shaw Is Uncertain
Even thoughHobbs & Shawwas a huge success, making $760 million at the box office (viaBox Office Mojo), it doesn’t seem like a lot of progress has been made on a potential sequel. In 2021, it was announced that a script forHobbs & Shaw 2was being worked on. However, in 2023, Johnson announced thata Hobbs solo moviewas in development.The Hobbs actor suggested that this spinoff film would lead intoFast & Furious 11, but there haven’t been many updates about the projectsince.
Since Johnson announced a solo Hobbs movie, it seems like the previously announcedsequel toHobbs & Shawhas been canceled. If this is the case, then many characters may never appear in the franchise again, such as Ryan Reynolds' Victor Locke and Kevin Heart’s Air Marshall Dinkley. Whilethe cancelation ofHobbs & Shaw2hasn’t officially been announced, it’s also possible that Hattie will never appear in the franchise again. However, I’m still holding out hope that she may appear inFast & Furious 11, which is currently scheduled to be released in 2026.
