Jason Statham Deckard Shaw has become an essential member of the “Fast & Furious” family. He even received his own spin-off adventure at this stage, after playing in “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw” in 2019. Previously, it was a discord that the villain that became Ally Toretto was so easily forgiven after being responsible for Han’s death favoring fans (Sung Kang). “F9”, however, eliminated it from this charge very quickly. Now Deckard is only another member of the team, so it is easy to forget how explosive his first appearance was.

“Fast & Furious 6” was originally intended to serve Han’s last trip before the events of “The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift”, where he initially met his end. So when the Mid-Credits scene began to replay the Han deadly crash, it meant that something else was just at the corner of the street. Electricity in the theater was palpable when it was revealed that Deckard de Statham was responsible for the disappearance of Han and the shot for the Gang of Toretto in the next film.
These are cases like this one where a post-writer actually means something beyond a disposable joke or a teasing of a raw pierge on another villain of the enigmatic space that will happen here Ultimately (coughDamn, cough). For what it is worth, Deckard has made a big villain in “Furious 7”, quickly set the tone of the film with his outburst of revenge in the very first scene. Nevertheless, the inaugural appearance of Statham in the franchise “Fast & Furious” could have taken place very differently.

Statham Deckard made more sense like teasing for Furious 7
Deckard appears as a serious threat in retaliation to Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) being responsible for the supposed death of his brother Owen Shaw (Luke Evans). In a 2019 interview with Movie theaterStatham revealed that he could have been presented as the villain in “Fast and Furious 6”, probably in the role of Evans, but it was more logical to use it as an exciting button at the end:

“We had conversations even before [‘Fast & Furious 6’] where, in the last part of when they have just finished [‘Fast Five’]They wanted me to be in “6” and for any reason, the creative [choice] It was not good for me, so they put me at the end and we are there. “”
It seems that everyone was on the right track with this decision. The Mid-Credits scene of “Fast Five” already sets up the dramatic conflict of Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) mysteriously alive. Evans, in the same way, has made a solid antagonistic force which did not overshadow this story in the sixth film. Having statham in it like this character would have seemed too in progress, in particular with his brand of action Power. He made much more sense like teasing for “Furious 7.”

With hindsight, the Statham deckard could have been The high -level perfect villain for “Fast & Furious” movies To go out. Of course, we would not have obtained the bizarre agent of Jason Momoa from Chaos in “Fast X”, but the films “Fast & Furious” would have finished on a high note with a real threat to the center of their final conflict.
“Fast and Furious 6” is currently streaming on Peacock.
