With the possible exception of Jakob (John Cena), who plows directly into a group of enemy vehicles to save Dom and his nephew, Little B (Leo Abelo Perry), the characters who die in "Fast X" do so offscreen, leaving some wiggle room for the next film to provide barely plausible explanations for any of them surviving. The Marvel Cinematic Universe had no problem using actual time travel to pull that trick in 2019's "Avengers: Endgame," where a past version of Gamora (Zoe Saldaña) was brought back to the future in the process of allowing the Avengers to basically do over their battle with Thanos (Josh Brolin).Īs fate would have it, "Fast X" strongly resembles the "Avengers" film preceding "Endgame," 2018's "Infinity War." In that movie as in "Fast X," the ending involves a cliffhanger where a large portion of the heroes appear to have met their demise or are at least finding death imminent. The Fast Saga is far from the only cinematic franchise that sees characters returning from the grave, but it is (so far) the only one where it's done without the use of magic, superpowers, or time travel.
