The Villains
The franchise has been building quite a bevy of villains that really don’t like the Toretto family, many of whom are still alive after their run-ins with Dom and his gang. Lest we forget, Deckard and Owen Shaw (Jason Statham and Luke Evans) are still out there, one in prison and the other in a coma. This means that it’s the easiest thing in the world to bring one or both of them back for the next installment. They were some of the best villains the franchise has yet offered, but there are others too: there’s the “yakuza” of Tokyo, and the potential villainy of Kurt Russell’s Mr. Nobody to contend with as well.
While too many villains will spoil the broth, uniting some of the previous villains for yet another film could produce some unique sparks. Of course, this franchise has succeeded in getting some pretty badass actors to play their villains, and there’s always a chance of adding someone else to the roster.
Mel Gibson hasn’t been doing much recently…
