The 19 biggest questions we have after watching the 'Fast & Furious 9' trailer over and over again

The first full trailer for "Fast & Furious 9" hit us with a few massive reveals. 

Dom has a secret little brother we've never heard about and Han is alive after dying a few movies ago. (#JusticeForHan!) 

Insider is breaking down every big and little question you may have about "Fast 9" after watching the trailer over and over again. We've also gone through some more new footage that was shown at the trailer's world premiere in Miami, Florida during a fan concert that briefly showed Cipher's (Charlize Theron's) new look and Helen Mirren's return as Queenie Shaw. 

If you blinked, you may have missed another big character who's returning to the "Fast" saga.

When does this movie take place?

Let's get this out of the way first. You've probably watched the "Fast and Furious" saga out of order. In case you're not aware the films were not released in chronological order. The correct viewing order is 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 3, 7, 8, and, (for now) "Hobbs and Shaw." (You can read more on that here.)

That being said, it's clear that "F9" is picking up a few years after the last film, "The Fate of the Furious." How do we know? Just look at Dom's little boy Brian. He's walking and talking now. He was just a baby in a carrier getting saved in one of the franchise's best scenes by Deckard Shaw in the last movie. This kid must be three or four now with that full head of hair.

It's also unclear at the moment whether or not "Hobbs and Shaw" takes place before or after "Fast 9." Deckard Shaw's mother is in jail at the start of "H&S." She was never there at the end of eight.



Where are Dom and Letty living now with little Brian?

I'm just wondering. It looks like they're in the middle of nowhere in farm country since Dom's working on fixing up a tractor. Good for Dom. He looks like he just wants a peaceful little slice of the American dream. Too bad his angry little brother can't let him live.



Why is this the first time we're hearing about Dom's little brother, Jakob?

Why is Jakob entering the picture now? We knew Dom had a younger sister named Mia, but how have neither of them ever mentioned Jakob in any previous installment of the franchise, even in passing? It's strange because Dom preaches about how family is everything and has told us about memories with his father who was killed.

We thought Jakob was going to wind up being a brother to Dom's old buddy Vince or maybe even Brian. We can't wait to see what background the film comes up with to explain away Jakob's absence.

Remembering Joanne Pransky

A version of this post original appeared in TechCrunch’s weekly robotics newsletter, Actuator . It has been updated to include details about a new scholarship fund being raised in her honor.  I didn’t know Joanne Pransky personally, so when news of her death broke late last month, I reached out to my LinkedIn followers, asking if any of them did. “Yes,” answered one, “didn’t everyone?” Over decades of work, Pransky has left a lasting impact on the industry, bringing a uniquely human element to conversations about robotics and automation. “Joanne was the epitome of ‘Think Different,’” iRobot co-founder and Tertill CEO Helen Greiner told me over email. “She was a pioneer in calling attention to what robots would mean for society and what human society would mean for the robots.” Pransky proudly adopted the title of “the world’s first real Robotic Psychiatrist,” devoting herself to act as a conduit between humans and robots. “My ultimate goal is to help people understand their emotiona

Winging it

Once again, your intrepid robotics reporter finds himself in the warm embrace of the Bay. To paraphrase Mark Twain, the warmest I was ever embraced was early summer in Santa Clara. I’m writing this from a juice place in Palo Alto (living the dream), having finished a pair of back-to-back meetings nearby. This week’s big Apple event brought me out here. As strange as it is to say, I’ve thus far missed the eye-burning smoke of Nova Scotia wildfires by traveling west to California. Very strange to view the apocalyptic New York skyline from afar. Though I suppose predictability is an element of climate change we’re going to be grappling with for . . . I don’t know, ever, probably. I’ve covered the Apple experience a bunch this week. If you have time to read only one thing I wrote on the Vision Pro headset , I’d recommend this . It’s mostly about positioning and market fit. There’s not a ton about the system that’s applicable to the manner of stuff you normally encounter in this newslet
