The motorsport drama stars Kang as a solitary racetrack janitor with a tragic past and a natural gift for drifting.
“Car culture has always been about more than machines – it’s about the people, the stories, and the passion that brings enthusiasts together from all over the world,” said Kang in a statement.
“Drifter was created for that community. I’m excited to bring a preview of the film to the Vancouver International Auto Show and share it with the car community.”
Kang is no stranger to Vancouver, as Phnom Penh Restaurant posted on Instagram a photo of the Fast and Furious star visiting the restaurant in 2024.
