The post-credit scene is the one that piqued the interest of the audiences and left them in a cliffhanger. The scene showed Han arriving at a surprised Deckard's doors. The director of Fast and Furious 9 Justin Lin opened up about the post-credit scene and explained the meaning of the scene.

Justin Lin explains the F9 post-credits scene

Ever since it was unveiled that the older Shaw aka Deckard Shaw was behind the blast that supposedly killed Han, there was a push by the fans for him to be accountable for what he did. The online movement called #Justice For Han was started by fans of the character that finally got a positive development through F9's post-credits where Han and Shaw come face-to-face. The director of the movie Justin Lin who returned to the director's chair after Fast And Furious 6 explained the post-credit scene.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter about the scene, Lin spoke about Justice for Han and said that "It’s interesting because a lot of people assume when Han comes back in 9, that’s Justice for Han. I never felt like that’s the case. The issue with Justice for Han is not, “Hey, he’s gone, we want him back." Lin further explained that the most important element for him was the treatment of the character and there was a lot to explore. He said, "There is definitely a lot to explore and to unpack and that is just a moment I wanted to share with the audience — that there’s a lot more to come."
