Summary
TheFast & Furiousfranchise has featured plenty of great character interactions, but after all these years, I can’t believe the movies have never had the entire Shaw family all be together. For the majority ofeveryFast & Furiousmovie, Dominic Toretto and his key team members spend a lot of time together. That primarily means audiences have spent time with some combinations of Dom, Brian, Letty, Tej, Roman, Ramsey, Mia, Hobbs, Han, and Gisele. Other characters have entered the story and become major players, oftentimes interacting with most of the franchise’s key figures.
The increasingly sprawling nature of theFast & Furiousfranchise means that not every character has been properly introduced to each other or interacted. The Shaw family is a prime example of this.Owen and Deckard have each interacted with most of the main charactersafter beingFast & Furiousmovie villains. Queenie has only ever really interacted with Dom from the core team, while Hattie has never met any of them given her introduction inHobbs & Shaw. While seeing them crossover with the main group more would be great, I’d love to see them all together at last.
Every Fast & Furious Hero Who Has Also Been A Villain
The Fast & Furious franchise is built around a core group of heroes, but many of them have been villains at some point in the movies before.
Deckard, Owen, Hattie, & Queenie Shaw Have Never All Been In A Scene Together
The Family Has Always Been Divided
The Shaw family have played major roles in theFast & Furiousmovies sinceFast & Furious 6, as at least one of them has been in every installment since then. That is whyit’s easy to assume that they’ve all been togetherand interacted in a scene at some point. I would’ve thought that at some point in the last six films over the last 11 years that Deckard, Owen, Hattie, and Queenie would have found a chance to unite as a family. This is theFast & Furiousfranchise that prioritizes the importance of family after all.
The closestFast & Furiouscame to bringing the entire Shaw family together wasHobbs & Shaw. The end of the movie saw Deckard and Hattie visit Queenie in prison to help her break out. This broughtthree of the Shaw family members together in a single scene, which is a record. However, I was frustrated thatHobbs & Shawleft out Owen, making the reunion incomplete. There has been no other opportunity to unite Deckard, Owen, Hattie, and Queenie since then, as only Deckard and Queenie were present inFast X.
Fast & Furious Needs To Unite The Shaw Family Soon
The End Is Coming
After waiting for so long to see the entire Shaw family united on screen, time is running out forFast & Furiousto bring the entire group together. I’m hoping that this will finally happen inFast & Furious 11. The next step inDante’s plan could include targeting people closest to Deckard, so that may require him to go find his mother, brother, and sister. It would be great to finally have a scene in the sequel then where Jason Statham, Luke Evans, Vanessa Kirby, and Helen Mirren all get to interact and show how the whole Shaw family is when they’re together.
I’d be very interested in seeing how Deckard, Owen, Hattie, and Queenie work together as a team
IfFast & Furious 11does not unite the Shaw family, the next best possibility could be a spinoff movie. TheShaws could replace the Torrettosand be the new leads of the franchise after the main Fast Saga concludes. I’d be very interested in seeing how Deckard, Owen, Hattie, and Queenie work together as a team and what their lives are like away from the main Toretto storyline. So no matter how or where it happens, it would just be great ifFast & Furiousfinally finds a way to have the entire Shaw family interact for the first time.
