If you are a fan of the quick and furious saga, it is very likely that this reference in Fast and Furious 6, broadcast on TF1 series films, has still escaped your Lynx eye.
In May 2013, Fast and Furious 6 arrived on screens to give us full view! The “family” of Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) leaves on a high risk mission after the breakage of Rio. The team dropped an empire by pocketing $ 100 million and the members dispersed all over the globe.
But the inability to go home, and the obligation to live on a permanent runner, leave their lives the bitter taste of inaccommunication. Meanwhile Hobbs tracks down the world a group of mercenaries with formidable talents in the four corners of the world, whose leader, Shaw is seconded by the love by love that Dom thought he had lost forever: Letty.
The only way to stop their actions is to dethrone them by surpassing their reputation. Hobbs therefore asks Dom to collect his shock team in London. In return? They will all be pardoned and will be able to return to their own, in order to live a normal life.
Fast and furious superheroes
The small troop of Fast and Furious, in addition to being drivers of experienced cars, have almost become superheroes. It is not for nothing if the film of the film slipped a few winks in the Avengers. For example, the character of Luke Hobbs, embodied on the screen by Dwayne Johnson, is compared to three members of the famous Team Marvel.
At the beginning of the feature film, Roman Pearce (Tyrese Gibson), learning that he will work for Hobbs, first exclaims: “So, now, we work for Hulk, right?” This is easy and everyone may have had the reference. A little later, when Hobbs visit a surveillance team, one of the managers of the latter compares him to Captain America. Again, no problem to capture the idea.
Pacific Thor
However, there is a 3rd wink in Avengers Marvel in the film! This is a little more stealthy and was able to escape the sharp vision of fans. If you stop on image at 1 hour 21 minutes and 54 seconds, you will see Tej phone display the name “Samoan Thor” when he receives a call from Luke Hobbs.

Universal
This is obviously a reference to the Samoan origins of Dwayne Johnson, compared here to the god of thunder, Thor, camped by Chris Hemsworth in the Marvel saga. In any case, 9 years later, The Rock will really become a superhero in Black Adam. However, it was not for Marvel, but with the competitor DC!
In addition, Dwayne Johnson has been back in the Fast and Furious license since the 10th installment and should have an important role in the 11th opus of the saga, expected soon in theaters, still produced by the Frenchy Louis Leterrier.
