Before getting too far into things, it's worth noting that Lucas Black's LaSalle was killed off of NCIS: New Orleans in the waning days of 2019. As with most actors in these pandemic-plagued times, 2020 hasn't provided much opportunity to book followup gigs. But even as Black's post-NCIS work schedule might be a bit more open than he'd like, the actor does have a big new movie on the way, and it'll find him re-teaming with the Toretto Family for another round of Fast & Furious hijinks.
That's right folks, after a noticeable absence from the cast of 2017's The Fate of the Furious, Lucas Black will be reprising his Tokyo Drift role as Sean Boswell. We last saw Sean in the franchise' 2015 edition Furious 7, when he was setting Dominic (Vin Diesel) and the gang on the path to bloody vengeance against the people responsible for killing their pal and his own mentor, Fast & Furious fan-favorite Han (Sung Kang).
By now, series fans should know how that tricky endeavor went down. They should also know that Han is set to make a most unexpected return in the upcoming F9. With the Toretto Family set to battle bigger, badder foes than ever in the new film, and Han seemingly set to return from the dead, Dom and his crew will need all the help they can get. As such, it only makes sense for Han to bring his old drifting pal Sean fully into the fold for the coming action.
Exactly how that action will unfold is anybody's guess for now, as is when we'll actually get to see the pandemic-delayed F9 with our own two eyes. Whatever the case, it'll be quite nice to see Black fully throwing down alongside the Torettos.
