Most of the cast will be returning for the new film, including Diesel, Tyrese Gibson, Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez, and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (who is currently finishing up production on Baywatch). The plot is unknown, but Kurt Russell's Mr. Nobody character may be the driving force behind the film and sending the family on a new mission.

Joining the cast for the first time are Charlize Theron (Mad Max: Fury Road) and Scott Eastwood (Suicide Squad). Fast 8 is being directed by F. Gary Gray and is written by Chris Morgan and Gary Scott Thompson.

Fast 8 is set for release April 14, 2017.
