(Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) Getty Images—2006 Getty Images by [TIME Staff](https://time.com/author/time-staff/) Sep 18, 2013 4:45 PM UTC In case you were wondering whether the cast of the next _Fast & Furious_ installment was large enough already, the producers have an answer for you: No. Lucas Black, who starred in _The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift_, will join the upcoming installment to reprise his role as Sean Boswell—an American high-school student who is shipped off to Japan to live with his father and falls into the dangerous world of drift racing. Black’s inclusion once again demonstrates just how committed the _Fast & Furious_ franchise is to canon. If you recall, _Tokyo Drift_ ended with Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) pulling up to race against Sean in memory of Han (Sung Kang, who was killed in the second half of _Tokyo Drift_—an event that was replayed at the close of _Fast & Furious 6_). If Sean were able to prove himself in that race—and his skills in the final drift competition of _Tokyo Drift_ indicate that he would have little trouble doing just that—it makes all the sense in the world that Dom would offer him a spot on the crew, and that Sean, also seeking revenge for Han’s death, would be more than inclined to accept.

He’s supposed to be a high-schooler, but will turn 31 in November. You can probably expect a joke or two about that from the franchise’s self-aware writers. The announcement follows revelations that both [Jason Statham](http://popwatch.ew.com/2013/05/25/fast-furious-6-spoilers-post-credit-ending/) and [Djimon Hounsou](http://www.vibe.com/article/djimon-hounsou-boards-cast-fast-and-furious-7) will be joining the cast for the franchise’s seventh installment, due in theaters next summer. [Denzel Washington](http://filmdrunk.uproxx.com/2013/08/denzel-washington-turned-down-fast-and-furious-7) reportedly turned down a role in _Fast 7_, and [Kurt Russell](http://www.firstshowing.net/2013/fast-furious-8-coming-but-kurt-russell-not-in-fast-furious-7/) has been rumored for a role in _Fast & Furious 8_. No word yet on whether Bow Wow, who played ‘Twinkie’ in _Tokyo Drift_, will be returning for next summer’s installment. When [asked in August](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhkP2uj9%5FrY), he said, “We’re trying to get ‘Twinkie’ back in Fast 7, it only makes sense. So why not?” At this point, that’s really the only question left to ask. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/archive/7117620/lucas-black-joins-cast-of-fast-furious-7/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/archive/7117620/lucas-black-joins-cast-of-fast-furious-7/"},"headline":"Lucas Black Joins Cast of 'Fast & Furious 7'","datePublished":"2013-09-18T16:45:23.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-16T05:31:15.996Z","description":"In case you were wondering whether the cast of the next Fast & Furious installment was large enough already, the producers have an answer for...","url":"https://time.com/archive/7117620/lucas-black-joins-cast-of-fast-furious-7/","keywords":[],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5c7d0579b7680ae1/698a8e6ac9e94194be123101/lucas-black-cropped.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5c7d0579b7680ae1/698a8e6ac9e94194be123101/lucas-black-cropped.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Premiere of Universal Picture's \"The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift\" - Arrivals","caption":"Premiere of Universal Picture's \"The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift\" - Arrivals","creditText":"Getty Images—2006 Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/archive/7117620/lucas-black-joins-cast-of-fast-furious-7/","name":"Lucas Black Joins Cast of 'Fast & Furious 7'"}}]}] ```
