The Fast and the Furious franchise has turn into just about unavoidable in the public eye, as the never-ending sequence white-knuckles its meme-worthy popularity that has dominated cinema for over a decade. Fans and critics continuously clash over the high quality (and necessity) of the Fast saga because it grows, yet Vin Diesel and his commitment to the Fast family (and their multimillion payouts) have insisted that those popcorn flicks are here to stay. As they do, they introduce new storylines to interact audiences.

Johnny Strong's Leon has been carved out as the personality who takes on the "loner" trope, and no longer much is truly recognized about him. Johnny regularly described Leon as anyone who used to be "lost," and really struggled to find his method anywhere. That sense of being a drifter and in search of a place to fit in sticks with Leon until the very finish, and by way of the end of the first film, he leaves the crew. This is both confirmed and implied by Fast's long term.

How he got there may be a somewhat huge thriller, as the screenplay handiest stocks such a lot about the persona's background. It used to be mentioned that he confirmed up and by no means left.
Leon was once initially hesitant to partake in the heist that the others have planned out, which had backfired towards Dom's (Vin Diesel) crew. What occurs to Leon subsequent is somewhat vague and left open to interpretation. He's seen as an escape driving force for Dom, Letty (Michelle Rodriguez), and Mia (Jordana Brewster) when fleeing the scene.

Johnny shared his own theories as to why Leon remains to be lacking multiple movies later. "Letty and Vince almost die, so I think it's understood that Leon had had enough of that situation. The heat had become too risky and he didn't want anything more to do with the gang," he said when speculating on Leon's fate. "Leon kind of voices his disapproval and he's shut down by Dom, which showed at this point, Leon is doubting his leader."
The Fast and the Furious franchise fails to actually clarify what occurs to Leon outside of Dom noting that he's "long gone." Because of this, there is actually no concrete answer as to what happens to him, as he has but to make his go back and inform his aspect of the story.
