The 2021 Fast and Furious instalment F9 is enjoying a fresh wave of popularity on Netflix five years after its release, with the film re-entering the streaming service's Top 10 charts in several countries. Its renewed success highlights the lasting appeal of John Cena's addition to the franchise, whose combination of physicality and comic timing is credited with reinvigorating the long-running action series at a key moment.

F9, which grossed $726 million at the worldwide box office, has recently climbed Netflix's charts internationally, including sixth place in Colombia and a Top 10 spot in Peru. The film introduces Cena as Jakob, the previously unmentioned younger brother of lead character Dom Toretto, who teams up with cyberterrorist Cipher (played by Charlize Theron) in a plot to seize control of a device capable of hijacking global weapons systems, prompting Dom to reunite his "family" for another high-stakes mission.
