... despite the fact that neither Sung Kang nor Gal Gadot actually make an appearance in this movie.
That is because BOTH of their scenes were cut out. Sung Kang was set to appear as the now-definitely-dead-but-not-really-dead Han as the witness during Dom (Vin Diesel) and Letty's (Michelle Rodriguez) secret wedding, but his appearance was removed during Letty's flashback scenes because it was causing confusion for the audience. Because, yes, they thought this meant that Han was alive again. Except he wasn't. (At least not yet. Confused? Don't worry, it will all make sense in F9. Hopefully.)
And then there were Gal Gadot's scenes, which would've filled in a huge back story subplot for Letty's character.
The deleted scene had Letty visiting a Mexican hospital, where she has a flashback of being carried in following the car crash that lead to her "death" in the fourth movie. And we see that the person who pulled her from that crash and brought her to the hospital was none other than Gisele (Gal Gadot).
Their brief scene would've set up Gisele's eventual character shift from villainous henchperson to a member of Dom's good guys team, but again, it was likely causing further confusion for audiences, who were continuously being reintroduced to all of these characters who had died in previous movies.
Fast & Furious 7 is available to watch on NOW at the time of writing, while Fast 9 will be arriving into Irish cinemas on Friday, 25 June.
