Nearly a year after it was originally supposed to premiere in theaters, fans are getting another teaser of Dom Toretto and his family of high-speed enthusiasts in F9.
A new trailer for the ninth film in the Fast & Furious film franchise dropped during the Super Bowl LV coverage on Super Sunday, February 7.
The 30-second spot packs in plenty of high-octane action, all while preaching the importance of family: the Fast Family.

It all begins with a picture of domestic bliss: images of a home being built, which is followed by clips of The Crew gathered for a reunion of sorts.
‘The world has a way of changing but there’s one thing that always stays the same,’ Vin Diesel’s Toretto says in a narration, in a reference to family.
Seemingly immersed in a more slower and safer lifestyle, Dom and wife Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez) are captured in a conversation about ‘missing the old life’.

After Dom admits that he misses the old life ‘everyday’, the action and fast editing go into overdrive and take viewers on a wild trip full of high-speed chases and spectacular, fiery crashes.
Along the way, quick glimpses of the film’s array of stars are revealed, including Tyrese Gibson, Chris ‘Ludacris’ Bridges, Sung Kang, Charlize Theron, Hellen Mirren, Jordana Brewster, Nathalie Emmanuel, and new bad-guy, villain John Cena.
Most of the action showcases Dom and Letty, behind-the-wheel, tearing it up on the streets, as they face off with Dominic’s younger brother Jakob, a deadly assassin.
