Though Universal already gave us a completely awesome, 3.5 minute trailer for Fast and Furious 6 during the Super Bowl, for those who want something a bit shorter, the studio has now given us a 2.5 minute theatrical trailer, which is still just as cool as the first one.
To be perfectly honest, it’s pretty much the same as the first look we got but just condensed a bit and spliced up with some brief, new footage. That being said, it’s still very exciting and has me thinking that this entry may surpass Fast Five, which in my books was the series’ best instalment.
Now, if that’s not enough Fast & Furious action for you, get this. Ain’t It Cool News has a juicy scoop concerning the villain role in both this film, and Fast and Furious 7. Be warned, spoilers lie ahead.
BEGIN SPOILERS
Ok, ready? Here we go. Apparently, Jason Statham will appear briefly in Fast and Furious 6 before taking on a major role as the villain in Fast and Furious 7. AICN has more details on how this will all work into the plot, but we’d rather not spoil anything for now. If you’re interested though, click on the link above and you can see for yourself what they have to say.
END SPOILERS
So, what do you think of that? Pretty exciting eh? That bit of news, coupled with this new trailer, should help tide us over until the film’s May 24th release date.

[springboard type=”video” id=”667649″ player=”wgtc007″ width=”600″ height=”350″ ]Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson lead the returning cast of all-stars as the global blockbuster franchise built on speed races to its next continent in Fast & Furious 6. Reuniting for their most high-stakes adventure yet, fan favorites Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Sung Kang, Gal Gadot, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges and Elsa Pataky are joined by badass series newcomers Luke Evans and Gina Carano.
Since Dom (Diesel) and Brian’s (Walker) Rio heist toppled a kingpin’s empire and left their crew with $100 million, our heroes have scattered across the globe. But their inability to return home and living forever on the lam have left their lives incomplete.
Meanwhile, Hobbs (Johnson) has been tracking an organization of lethally skilled mercenary drivers across 12 countries, whose mastermind (Evans) is aided by a ruthless second-in-command revealed to be the love Dom thought was dead, Letty (Rodriguez). The only way to stop the criminal outfit is to outmatch them at street level, so Hobbs asks Dom to assemble his elite team in London. Payment? Full pardons for all of them so they can return home and make their families whole again.
Building on the worldwide blockbuster success of Fast Five and taking the action, stunts and narrative to even greater heights, Fast & Furious 6 sees director Justin Lin back behind the camera for the fourth time. He is supported by longtime producers Neal H. Moritz and Vin Diesel, who welcome producer Clayton Townsend back to the series.
