3. All-Villain Super Team
Part of the funny/sad/strange irony of the Fast franchise’s position as a shared cinematic universe (like The Avengers…but with cars) is that it basically stumbled into one by accident and yet its already done better than most of the efforts that try to create a universe from the start. For instance, with Sony’s Amazing Spider-Man series left high and dry after Marvel brought Spider-Man into the Avengers mold, this leaves the Sinister Six spinoff in a precarious position. But who says that had to be first villain team-up movie (besides Suicide Squad)? With seven movies under their belt and only two villains unquestionably dead (#1’s Johnny Tran and #5’s Hernan Reyes), the Fast series is already in a good position to unite the scorned enemies of the past into one super group. Note: I’ve only seen Furious 7 once so I’m hazy on the specifics, but it looked like Owen Shaw possibly survived his fall from the plane in number six, and a Shaw brother team-up would be a good center for this gang of otherwise interchangeable thugs.
