Kang is a familiar favorite in the Fast & Furious franchise, first making his debut as Han in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. Despite Han's presumed death, Kang eventually reprised his role in several installments, before eventually undoing his demise in Fast X. Evans portrayed Owen Shaw, Deckard’s younger brother (Jason Statham), in Fast & Furious 6. The actor also made additional appearances in the franchise, such as The Fate of the Furious.

Since their appearances in the franchise, the two stars further improved their resumes by starring in other beloved franchises. Both Fast & Furious franchise alums appeared in other major franchises, such as Kang in the Star Wars series Obi-Wan Kenobi and Evans in The Hobbit films. Weekend in Taipei doesn't match the sci-fi or epic fantasy genre, but Kang and Evans’ reunion will be exciting as the wait continues for Fast and Furious 11.
