However, long-time Fast & Furious writer claims that it’s all part of their bigger plan. In an interview with EW, Chris Morgan mentioned that they’re building towards a payoff for that storyline.
There’s a line in Hobbs & Shaw that is right before the battle in Samoa where Shaw says to his sister, ‘There’s things I’ve done that I have to make amends for.’ That line was specifically written and put in there just to let everyone know that he is talking about Han — it is on his mind. It tortures him, and he’s going to get to it.” Having watched Hobbs & Shaw (review will be out tonight), I can concur that that line is indeed in the movie. So perhaps they are planting the seeds for a (hopefully) emotional payoff and not just sweep it under the rug with a couple of quick and funny one-liners. Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw is currently screening in Malaysian cinemas.
