SORRY, VIN. APOLOGIES, The Rock. Hard lines, The Stath. The most compelling character in the Fast & Furious franchise isn’t a muscle-bound, muscle-car-driving behemoth, but a laidback, laconic, South Korean car thief who might not be the best Han in cinema, but is definitely runnerup. Sung Kang ’s Han joined the franchise, with director Justin Lin, in the third instalment, Tokyo Drift, and despite dying (twice!), proved popular enough to be resurrected for latest entry Fast & Furious 9: The Fast Saga. We caught up with Kang and Lin to deep dive into Han’s handiest moments.
