FAST FIVE Plot Details!! Han's Not Dead Yet!! Tyrese Is Back!! More!!

Merrick here...
Universal has released a synopsis of FAST FIVE - the fifth installment in the FAST AND THE FURIOUS franchise. I haven't seen it drop into our mailbox yet, but multiple other sites are posting the exact same description, so I've borrowed the version posted by Garth at Dark Horizons (HERE).

Vin Diesel and Paul Walker lead a reunion of returning all-stars from every chapter of the explosive franchise built on speed in Fast Five. In this installment, former cop Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) partners with ex-con Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) on the opposite side of the law. Dwayne Johnson joins returning favorites Jordana Brewster, Ludacris, Tyrese Gibson, Sung Kang, Gal Gadot, Matt Schulze, Tego Calderon and Don Omar for this ultimate high-stakes race. Since Brian and Mia Toretto (Jordana Brewster) broke Dom out of custody, they've blown across many borders to elude authorities. Now backed into a corner in Rio de Janeiro, they must pull one last job in order to gain their freedom. As they assemble their elite team of top racers, the unlikely allies know their only shot of getting out for good means confronting the corrupt businessman who wants them dead. But he's not the only one on their tail. Hard-nosed federal agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) never misses his target. When he is assigned to track down Dom and Brian, he and his strike team launch an all-out assault to capture them. But as his men tear through Brazil, Hobbs learns he can't separate the good guys from the bad. Now, he must rely on his instincts to corner his prey... before someone else runs them down first.

Wondering how they're gonna squeeze in Sung Kang's character Han - who we've already established will die at some point during this series' continuity? And pretty close to the time this film is taking place (although that's not implicitly stated at any point in the movies...just conjecture and assumption). It'll also be fun to see Tyrese back in the franchise. In this review of 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS, Harry felt the relationship between Tyrese and Paul Walker turned the film into...

...probably one of the best questionable sexuality drinking game movies ever made. Take a drink everytime you think Paul Walker and Tyrese are about to kiss… You’ll get seriously fucked up."

Maybe some of that oil' magic will be back this time around. We can only hope.
