An ad that aired during Super Bowl LIV for Fast and Furious 9 concealed a previously teased connection between John Cena's Jakob and Vin Diesel's Dom. Cena's Jakob was introduced to audiences as Dom's little brother in the first trailer for the film. The character is billed as a "master thief, assassin, high-performance driver," and it doesn't look like Dom is thrilled to see him.
Cena joins the Fast and Furious 9 cast alongside returning members of the extended Torretto family, like Michelle Rodriguez's Letty. Universal kicked the marketing machine for the franchise's newest installment into high gear with an official poster release and several character one-sheets. Dom's brother's mysterious return wasn't even the first trailer's biggest reveal. That honor went to the surprise appearance of Sung Kang's Han Seoul-Oh, who was killed off way back in 2006's Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.
Curiously, the ad released during Super Bowl LIV doesn't highlight Jakob's connection to Dom at all. The TV spot was posted to Twitter shortly after airing and features quick cuts of Dom settled down on his family farm, followed by an impressive collection of death-defying stunts. The 30-second ad focuses more on the heart-stopping action that made the franchise famous than it does on setting up the film's story. Take a look:
More to come...
