Filming on Fast 8 is in full swing now, with the cast back together and having the typical amount of fun (see the tweet lower down the page.) And that includes Dwayne Johnson as Luke Hobbs, who will hopefully enjoy a little more screen time in this one. Johnson has posted a new look at the man to Instagram, which you can see below, signaling that things might be changing for Hobbs in the new movie.
Well, either that, or he's joining a nu-metal band. Johnson posted the following with the picture: "When you strip a man of all he has. All that's important to him. You force him to return to his roots.. and sometimes that's a very dangerous and twisted place. If I was going to return for another Fast & Furious I wanted to come in and disrupt the franchise in a cool way that got fans fired up and their blood pumping to see a new version of Hobbs and his 'Daddy's gotta go to work' mentality and set the table in a cool way for where the character goes in the future. Maybe it's a spinoff movie. Maybe it's more #FF movies. Or hell maybe Hobbs just gets on his motorcycle and rides off into the sunset never to be seen again." Interesting... so does that mean bad things ahead for the man-mountain of a cop?
We'll find out when Fast 8 arrives on April 14 next year, bringing back the likes of Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jason Statham and Kurt Russell, with new recruit Scott Eastwood helping the fight against the villainous Cipher (Charlize Theron).
