Gisele Yashar is a fictional character portrayed by Gal Gadot who appears in the Fast & Furious franchise. She was introduced in the film Fast & Furious (2009) as a liaison for drug trafficker Arturo Braga (John Ortiz). She develops romantic feelings for Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), but he rejects her advances. She advises him about the dangers involved in smuggling heroin across the Mexico–United States border to complete a deal with Braga. The drug exchange results in an ambush instigated by Braga, with Toretto protecting Gisele.
In Fast & Furious 6 (2013), Gisele and Han are living together in Hong Kong. Toretto recruits the couple to prevent a heist planned by Owen Shaw (Luke Evans), which could potentially kill millions of people. For the mission, Gisele draws on her Mossad experience with interrogation, weapons, and retrieval. While attempting to stop a plane, she is left hanging from the back of a Range Rover. She lets go of Hans hand and falls to her death to save him from being shot by one of Shaws henchmen.
However, in Fast X (2023), Gisele is revealed to have survived her fall from the vehicle in Fast & Furious 6, as she appears in a submarine to rescue Letty. The movie does not explain how she survived the fall, but it is suggested that she may have received cybernetic enhancements or a super soldier serum. The director of Fast X, Louis Leterrier, explained that he doesnt see the franchises future without her, noting, "I was lucky enough to direct...".
