"Fast Five".
I don't care how many sequels or prequels or whathaveyou there continues to be in this franchise; I'll keep watching them, so long as Han is in them. And judging by Sung Kang's last words in Fast Five, I'm guessing that director Justin Lin is not going to be writing the character out any time soon.

1. Fast Five is more proof that people of color can sell movies.
Fast Five is a very diverse cast with actors that are Israeli, Latino/a, white, black, and Asian, all in "good guy" and "bad guy" roles. The story mostly takes place in Brazil. I've heard of Brazil's issues with colorism, but the movie did its best to have people of all colors in the foreground and the background. And the director is freakin Asian. The Rainbow Coalition casting isn't a fluke as this casting style has been similar through the previous movies. Yet this hasn't stopped movie franchise from earning over a billion dollars. Hello Hollywood...DO YOU SEE THIS!? TAKE THE FUCKIN HINT!
She also links to this article by Wesley Morris on how the Fast and the Furious movies are a progressive force in Hollywood.
In conclusion: HAN!!!! We know he's headed towards limbo, but may he have a fun (and slow) time getting there.
