2 Fast 2 Furious teased that its villain Carter Verone would return, but Cole Hauser's character still hasn't come back to the Fast & Furious franchise after 20 years. The second Fast & Furious movie introduced several characters who went on to become main parts of the franchise. Roman Pearce and Tej Parker eventually joined Dominic Toretto's crew in sequels thanks to their history with Brian O'Connor and still have roles to play in recent films. Fast Five's post-credits scene even brought back Monica Fuentes for a critical scene. However, 2 Fast 2 Furious' villain Carter Verone is among the characters who have not come back.
