1. Sean Boswell (Lucas Black)
Poor Sean. After going through an arc that forced him to face both the consequences of his actions and the death of his friend Han, the ending of Tokyo Drift promised that he would be greeted into Dom’s family of misfits and criminals. However, Furious 7 temporarily pushed that aside for just a fleeting cameo, and since the latest in the franchise continues with Dom and the crew going out for revenge on Han’s behalf, it feels like a huge missed opportunity to not give Sean a sizable part in the group and share a personal motivation in this mission to take down Deckard Shaw. Who cares if he looks even less like a teenager now than he already did in Tokyo Drift; in the messed-up chronology of this story these are things that can be forgiven, and welcoming Sean into the family would be a further step in convincing stubborn fans that Tokyo Drift is more than just a forgettable footnote in the Fast series’ journey to top dog status in Hollywood.
