One devotee of the theory is half of the music duo The Living Tombstone (and sometimes comedy musician who co-writes unbiasedly amazing songs), Sam Haft, who at this point is convinced that time travel is already a fait accompli for the franchise. Thanks to all these clues, the fans' time travel theories won't be quelled by the cheeky efforts of Leterrier or others after "Fast X" - in fact, they'll only grow in popularity.
After all, the plot of "Hobbs & Shaw" involved the titular duo fighting against a techno-terrorism cult named Eteon, whose chief representative had cyborg enhancements that gave him pseudo-superhero powers. Not only does this offer a sort of back-door notion for making once critically-injured (maybe even dead) people healthy again, it also implies that the Agency and the Fast universe may include a far wilder assortment of advanced technology that we've yet to see. In "Fast X," it turns out that the Agency Black Site where Letty and Cipher are interred includes a super special laser thingy that has the ability to heal wounds pretty effectively. Yet if the "Fast" filmmakers are using the "Avengers" films as a template, they might just go ahead and introduce time travel as a way of bringing the family back together.
With the possible exception of Jakob (John Cena), who plows directly into a group of enemy vehicles to save Dom and his nephew, Little B (Leo Abelo Perry), the characters who die in "Fast X" do so offscreen, leaving some wiggle room for the next film to provide barely plausible explanations for any of them surviving. The Marvel Cinematic Universe had no problem using actual time travel to pull that trick in 2019's "Avengers: Endgame," where a past version of Gamora (Zoe Saldaña) was brought back to the future in the process of allowing the Avengers to basically do over their battle with Thanos (Josh Brolin).Īs fate would have it, "Fast X" strongly resembles the "Avengers" film preceding "Endgame," 2018's "Infinity War." In that movie as in "Fast X," the ending involves a cliffhanger where a large portion of the heroes appear to have met their demise or are at least finding death imminent. The Fast Saga is far from the only cinematic franchise that sees characters returning from the grave, but it is (so far) the only one where it's done without the use of magic, superpowers, or time travel.
