Jakob Toretto, portrayed by actor John Cena, is a character introduced in the *Fast & Furious* film franchise. He first appears as the main antagonist in *F9: The Fast Saga* (2021). Introduced as the estranged brother of Dominic and Mia Toretto, Jakob is a former government agent, master thief, and high-level assassin whose driving and combat skills rival those of his brother. Initially driven by a deep resentment toward Dominic due to a tragic event in their past, he reconciles with his family over the course of the film, helping them to thwart a global threat. His character arc continues in *Fast X* (2023), where he takes on a protective role toward his nephew, Brian Marcos, heroically sacrificing himself to allow Dominic to escape and thus solidifying his complete redemption.
