Jason Stathamfans, and particularly those of his appearances in theFast & Furiousfranchise will have something to celebrate this February as several of hisFastmovies will arrive on Peacock on February 15. Along with the Statham-lessFast Five,Fast & Furious 6– which features the first brief appearance of Deckard Shaw in the saga –Furious 7, andFast & Furious Presents Hobbs & Shaw, the spinoff that brought together Statham with Dwayne Johnson in their own story.
Fast & Furious 6sees Vin Diesel’s Dom Toretto and Paul Walker’s Brian O’Conner and their crew being given the chance to have their crimes wiped from the record by Johnson’s Luke Hobbs, if they help bring down an organized mercenary group led by Owen Shaw. After the events of the film play out, Statham makes his first appearance as Owen’s older brother Deckard Shaw in a post-credits scene that brings the story back to the events of 2006’sThe Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.
Statham really entered the franchise fully inFurious 7, when Deckard Shaw looks to avenge his brother, who was put in a coma after the events of the previous movie. By the timeThe Fate of the Furiouscame around (which will not be joining the other movies on Peacock) Statham’s Shaw was almost ready to team up for his own spinoff movie with Johnson’s Hobbs, which followed two years later in 2019. While Statham would later make a small appearance in the mid-credits scene ofF9, he returned in a more major role inFast X. Both of these movies are already streaming on Peacock.
