Fast X 2023

16

A media franchise centered on illegal street racing, heists, spies and family.

Note: While "Better Luck Tomorrow" is not actually canon to the "Fast and Furious" franchise, it is often considered by fans to be an unofficial prequel for the character Han, due to the fact that it has a character named Han played by the same actor, the plot having a similar concept to the series, and the film is directed by one of the franchise's directors (Justin Lin).

Although the relation between Better Luck Tomorrow's Han and The Fast Saga's Han was originally left unaddressed, both Lin and Lue repeatedly confirmed during the following years that it was the same character, and that Better Luck Tomorrow doubled as Han's origin story, retroactively making the film part of The Fast Saga continuity.
