Since Fast & Furious 11 might be the last movie in the long-running franchise, it could include some heartbreaking deaths. Ever since the cliffhanger ending of Fast X, I’ve been eagerly anticipating the eleventh movie in the series. It’s hard to keep audiences engaged so many films into a franchise, but fans of the Fast & Furious movies have come to love most of the characters. Additionally, Fast X’s villain, Jason Momoa’s Dante Reyes, has raised the stakes of the series heading into the final entry.
Since Dante has promised to get revenge on all the members of Dom’s crew, the upcoming Fast & Furious 11 could be the most emotional movie in the entire franchise. If it does indeed end up being the last film in the series, it wouldn’t be surprising if there are some major deaths. While the series has included plenty of fake-out deaths in the past, the casualties in Fast & Furious 11 will likely be final. Therefore, here are 11 major Fast & Furious 11 characters, ranked by how much their death would hurt in the upcoming movie:
11
Dante Reyes Will Return As A Villain In Fast X
Played By Jason Momoa
The beginning of Fast X revealed that Dante is the son of Hernan Reyes, who was the main villain of Fast Five, one of the most critically acclaimed movies in the franchise. During Dom and his crew’s final showdown against Hernan in Brazil, Dante was thrown out of his car and into the water. Since he was unable to save his father’s life many years before the events of Fast X, he is now seeking revenge against Dom and his crew.

Dante Reyes’ return as the villain in Fast & Furious 11 will avoid the most annoying trope the Fast & Furious franchise has used for the past decade.
While many Fast & Furious villains have found redemption and actually become allies for the series’ main characters, it doesn’t seem like this will happen with Dante. Instead, Dante can serve as an intimidating and irredeemable villain who is deadset on revenge in the series’ final movie. Since he is actively trying to kill Dom and everyone he loves, Dante’s potential death in Fast & Furious 11 probably won’t be that emotional.
10
Ramsey Has Emerged As A Valuable Member Of Dom’s Crew
Played By Nathalie Emmanuel
Unlike Dante, Ramsey has consistently proven that she is loyal to Dom and his crew. Since being introduced in Furious 7, Ramsey has become an important supporting character in the series. She has helped Dom take down Cipher, Jakob Toretto, and is now involved in the ongoing fight against Dante. At the end of Fast X, Ramsey was actually one of the characters in a plane that seemingly crashed. Roman, Tej, and Han were also on this plane.
Ramsey is an effective supporting character in the franchise, but she definitely isn’t a standout.
However, since these characters weren’t confirmed to be dead in the tenth film, it is expected that they will return in Fast & Furious 11, which is why they will all be included on this list. Out of these four important characters, Ramsey’s death would be the least impactful, simply because she hasn’t been around for as long. Ramsey is an effective supporting character in the franchise, but she definitely isn’t a standout, and she would honestly be one of the easiest characters to kill off in Fast & Furious 11.
9
Tej Parker Is One Of The Most Likable Fast & Furious Characters
Played By Ludacris
Out of all the characters in the Fast & Furious franchise, Ramsey has the closest relationship with Tej. Since Tej is also very smart with computers, he and Ramsey have become close friends in the series, and a possible romantic relationship has even been teased. Based on their interactions in the last few movies, Tej and Ramsey would definitely make a good couple. However, this potential romantic connection would also make one (or both) of their deaths in Fast & Furious 11 very tragic.
Since Tej was first introduced in 2 Fast 2 Furious, his death would definitely be more emotional for fans. Throughout his time in the franchise, Tej has formed close relationships with characters like Roman, Letty, and Dom. Without a doubt, he is one of the core members of Dom’s crew in the Fast & Furious franchise. He has survived a lot and has been an instrumental member of the crew, so it would be heartbreaking if he dies in the series’ final entry.

Gisele Yashar Just Returned From The Dead
Played By Gal Gadot
Gisele Yashar made a surprise appearance at the end of Fast X. In the tenth film, Gisele shows up in a submarine to rescue Letty and Cipher from the Antarctica prison. Her return was shocking, since she seemingly died by falling out of a plane during the climax of Fast & Furious 6. Her apparent death in Fast & Furious 6 was already heartbreaking, especially since she had fallen in love with Han.

Fast & Furious 11’s Long-Awaited Reunion Will Finally Complete A Storyline 4 Years In The Making
Han and Gisele could finally reunite in Fast & Furious 11, paying off a narrative thread that was planted in Fast Five over fourteen years ago.
Ever since he returned to the franchise in F9, it’s been clear that Han still misses Gisele. Thankfully, the two characters will reunite in Fast & Furious 11. Their reunion will likely be one of the most hopeful moments in the series’ final movie, which would make it even more tragic if Gisele is taken away from Han once again. Since she just returned, Gisele’s death in Fast & Furious 11 is unlikely, but the writers of the film could definitely take audiences by surprise by killing her off once again.
7
Deckard Shaw Has Found Redemption In The Fast & Furious Franchise
Played By Jason Statham
Deckard Shaw is the perfect example of a character who started out as a villain in the Fast & Furious franchise and then found redemption. Deckard was on a revenge mission in Furious 7 after Dom and his crew gravely injured his brother, Owen Shaw, in the sixth movie. Interestingly, this actually means he has many similarities to Dante, which could be interesting to explore in the franchise’s final movie. However, it’s possible that Dante will kill Deckard in Fast & Furious 11.
After watching him in Hobbs & Shaw, audiences definitely feel a closer connection to Deckard.
In addition to appearing in several of the mainline films, Deckard also got more time in the spotlight in the Hobbs & Shaw spinoff movie. After watching him in Hobbs & Shaw, audiences definitely feel a closer connection to Deckard. This spinoff introduced his sister, Hattie. Additionally, his mother, Magdalene Shaw, is also a reoccurring character in the franchise. Therefore, if Dante does indeed kill Deckard in Fast & Furious 11, or if he dies another way, these characters will definitely mourn him alongside many audience members.
6
Han Lue Deserves To Be Happy After Fast & Furious 11
Played By Sung Kang
Just like Gisele, Han has actually already seemingly died before in the Fast & Furious franchise. Han first appeared in the series’ third film, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. He was immediately one of the most likable characters in the movie, but tragically died during a car explosion. In the Fast & Furious timeline, Tokyo Drift actually takes place after the events of Fast & Furious 6, and the post-credits scene of the sixth film made viewers relive Han’s heartbreaking death.
At one point, Han’s demise was arguably considered the most heartbreaking death in the entire franchise. However, the fan-favorite character was revealed to still be alive in F9, resuming his role as one of the main members of Dom’s crew. Since he will finally reunite with Gisele years after her apparent death in the sixth movie, Han dying in Fast & Furious 11 may be too much for audiences to handle. Therefore, hopefully Han will have a much-deserved happy ending.
5
Roman Pearce Is One Of The Most Popular Fast & Furious Characters
Played By Tyrese Gibson
When Roman was first introduced in 2 Fast 2 Furious, he was actually meant to be a replacement for Dominic Toretto. Watching Roman and Brian together in the second movie was extremely entertaining, which is exactly why the former has been a fan-favorite character for many years. However, even though he has been a popular character, many fans believe that Roman has been wasted in the Fast & Furious movies. In the series’ most recent movies, Roman has mostly been sidelined as a supporting character and often even treated as a joke.

One Of The Worst Fast & Furious Movies Got 1 Thing Right (But Every Other Sequel Forgot About It)
One of the worst Fast & Furious movies brought something great to the franchise, yet the Fast Saga ignored it for the most part after 2003.
Despite this, fans still love Roman Pearce. It is undeniable that he is a loyal member of Dom’s crew, and will continue to fight against Dante in Fast & Furious 11. If the writers of the movie can’t find an effective role for him, though, it’s possible that Roman will die. Roman’s death would prove that anyone can die in Fast & Furious 11, which would raise the stakes of the final film even more. Without a doubt, a lot of fans will definitely be heartbroken if he does indeed die in the upcoming movie.
4
Luke Hobbs’ Fast & Furious 11 Return Is Highly Anticipated
Played By Dwayne Johnson
The ending of Fast X featured the returns of both Gisele Yashar and Luke Hobbs. Out of these two characters, Luke Hobbs is undoubtedly the more popular, and fans can’t wait to see Dwayne Johnson reprise his role in Fast & Furious 11. Luke Hobbs became one of the series’ main characters after his introduction in Fast Five, but didn’t appear in F9 and only had a cameo in Fast X because of Johnson’s well-known feud with Vin Diesel. However, Johnson still made sure Hobbs is an important character in the franchise by starring in Hobbs & Shaw.
In Fast & Furious 11, Hobbs will likely reunite with Dom and the rest of the crew to try to take down Dante.
Since Luke Hobbs is the one who actually shot Hernan Reyes at the end of Fast Five, it only makes sense that Dante is hunting him down, as well. In Fast & Furious 11, Hobbs will likely reunite with Dom and the rest of the crew to try to take down Dante. Hobbs is a fan-favorite character and his relationship with his daughter was explored quite a bit in Hobbs & Shaw. Therefore, some viewers might not be able to handle him dying in Fast & Furious 11.
3
Mia Toretto Is Raising A Family With Brian O’Conner
Played By Jordana Brewster
Jordana Brewster has starred as Mia Toretto since the very first Fast & Furious movie. Over the course of several films in the franchise, she fell in love and ended up having two children with Brian O’Conner. Even though Paul Walker tragically died in real life, Brian is still alive in the world of the Fast & Furious franchise. Therefore, whenever Mia appears in the movies, it makes viewers immediately think of Brian and the impact Walker had on the franchise.
In Fast X, Mia returned home to make sure Brian and her children are safe after learning about Dante. Because of this, Brewster doesn’t have a major role in the tenth film, but will most likely return in Fast & Furious 11. Mia’s death in Fast & Furious 11 would be incredibly heartbreaking since it would mean that Brian has to raise their children on his own. Therefore, it would be shocking if Mia actually died in the final movie in the series.
2
Letty Ortiz Deserves To Raise A Family With Dom
Played By Michelle Rodriguez
Since Dom and Letty were apart from each other for the majority of Fast X, fans can’t wait to see them reunite in Fast & Furious 11. Dom and Letty have been the most prominent couple in the Fast & Furious franchise for a long time, but their journeys obviously haven’t been easy. Letty, in particular, had her memory wiped after almost dying in an explosion in the series’ fourth movie. Therefore, at one point, Letty barely knew who she was and couldn’t even recognize the people she loved the most.
Fast & Furious 11 is currently expected to be released in the summer of 2026. However, filming has not yet begun on the franchise’s final movie.
However, Letty is now incredibly happy with Dom and is raising Little B like he is her own son. There’s even a hint that Letty is pregnant in Fast X. While this isn’t confirmed, it’s possible that Dom and Letty’s family will grow in the series’ final movie. However, this reveal likely won’t stop Dante from hunting them down. Therefore, it would be heartbreaking if Letty died in Fast & Furious 11, since she deserves to live happily ever after.
