Regarding season 9’s story plot, editor Jonathan M.G of Arstechnica news revealed: “Family is the central theme of Fast & Furious and that theme will be kept in season 9. Dominic Toretto (played by Vin Diesel) and his team face off against his younger brother Jakob (John Cena), described as “the most skilled assassin and best rider they’ve ever met”. Jakob is working with crime boss Cipher (played by Charlize Theron), whose hair is much shorter than her image in season 8″.
