Paul Walker likely was going to be part of that adventure, and now will not be. Nobody, would be a catalyst for events that would follow through in Fast 8. And Vin spoke in the present tense, saying that Russell's covert character, Mr.

But the first real hint we got about Fast 8 came when Vin Diesel appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel show and revealed that supreme badass Kurt Russell was added to part seven as a tease for what the crew wanted to do in part eight. James Wan confirmed a while back that the original ending of Furious 7 would have led to new stories. It bears repeating that Furious 7 always was going to be the start of a new trilogy of Fast films, though that plan was changed once Paul Walker died. However, The Rock has been making a lot of headlines BEHIND the scenes for stirring the pot and calling out male co-stars for being "candy-asses" on set.

From early photos of The Rock in Iceland - and behind bars - we expect him to play a MUCH larger role in this new story. Hobbs was largely sidelined in Furious 7 after a bone-crunching fight with Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham). Don't look for Jordana Brewster to return, however, as she recently confirmed that her phone never rang during the productionĪnd, of course, The Rock will be back as Hobbs, the one time antagonist who finally saw the error of his ways and stopped tracking Dominic Toretto long enough to join his crew. In addition to Diesel, Fast & Furious mainstays Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, and Ludacris will be part of the growing cast.
The fate of fast and the furious 8 movie#
Outside of 2 Fast, 2 Furious - the movie that brought Tyrese into the fold - Diesel has been a part of every Fast chapter, and it won't end here.

We expect practically everyone to be back for Fast 8, starting with Vin Diesel. But that doesn't mean the wheels stop turning. The crew found a way to bid farewell to Brian (Paul Walker) at the end of Furious 7. They are family, which is why cast members keep returning, movie after movie, to be part of whatever madness is cooked up on the streets of the next Furious story.
