September 2026 – Before the crew, before redemption, there was blood.
Universal has officially greenlit an origin-focused spinoff film centered on the franchise’s most ruthless antihero:
Deckard Shaw.
Titled “Deckard Shaw: The Assassin’s Code,” the film dives deep into Shaw’s covert past — revealing the deadly truth behind his skills, his motives, and the personal tragedy that forever tied him to Dominic Toretto’s world.
🕶️ The Premise: Blood Debts and Broken Codes
Before becoming a reluctant ally to Dom and his crew, Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) was one of Britain’s most feared black-ops enforcers. Operating under a shadow government program known as “The Veil,” Shaw carried out classified hits across Europe, the Middle East, and South America — until one mission went wrong, triggering a chain of events that would echo through the entire Fast saga.
The film picks up ten years before Fast 6, when a hit in Berlin leads to the death of a man later revealed to be the godfather of Letty Ortiz. Shaw was told the target was a terrorist. He never knew the truth… until now.
🔫 The Story: Redemption Runs Red
Years later, as Shaw attempts to stay off the radar in Morocco, he’s pulled back in by a cryptic message:
“The family you wronged has found the truth.”
Now hunted by a rogue faction of Dom’s extended family, and pursued by a new black-ops commander who wants Shaw silenced, Deckard must uncover the real story behind that fatal mission — and decide whether redemption is even possible for a man who’s killed in the name of peace.
Shaw (Statham):
“They trained me to kill ghosts.
But it’s the living I can’t outrun.”
