Lucas Black, who starred in Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift back in 2006, is returning to the Fast & Furious franchise.
Crave’s Collider website reported Monday Black was hired for Fast & Furious 7 to reprise the character he played in the third movie. He is also signed to play his character in Fast 8 & 9.
It all works out because Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift happens after Fast & Furious 6 which happens … you know what, you’re just going to have to take our word for it that Sang Kung was in Fast & Furious 4, 5 and 6 because the events from Tokyo Drift hadn’t happened yet.
As to why all that situation is the way it is … no idea. See Black alongside Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Tyrese Gibson, Jason Statham and Djimon Honsou when Fast & Furious 7 opens July 11, 2014.
