The movie opens in a flashback to the moments just before Dom and Brian's infamous vault heist from Fast and Furious 5, with Hernan Reyes (Joaquim de Almeida) introducing his son and new franchise big bad, Dante Reyes (Jason Momoa). In Fast X, Brian O'Connor returns to the franchise, but only in glimpses of the past. Indeed, Brian was such a powerful and foundational force in The Fast Saga, that he didn't even really need to appear in F9 in order to make a convincing return. Moreover, in a franchise that made its bones by being over-the-top, this was a highly refreshing and surprising dose of subtlety, which hit long-time audiences of The Fast Saga hard. This was a much less risky way of bringing Paul Walker's Brian back.

Prior to this, Dom notices an empty chair at their table during a barbecue, and Mia tells Dom that the last guest will be arriving shortly. Walker's character, Brian, does not appear at all in the movie, but it's clear that he's driving the blue 1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R that shows up at Dom's house in the final scene. F9 cleverly avoided all the problems associated with CGI by putting a different spin on Paul Walker's Fast and Furious return.
