The Fate Of The Furious B-Roll Footage Released

Universal’s incredibly successful Fast & Furious franchise is roaring back into theaters with the eight installment The Fate of the Furious, which puts this close-knit family at odds with their patriarch and leader Dom Turretto. While the film will deal with the hows and why of his change in character, the cast is still quite close behind the scenes, and that is more than evident in the new B-roll footage the studio just released.

The first piece of footage can be viewed above, which centers on the filming that took place in Cuba. Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, and director F. Gary Gray are center stage here, filming a few scenes in the city commons. It also shows what looks like the first meeting between Diesel and Charlize Theron, who plays the villainous Cipher.

The second B-roll set features more of the extended family, including The Rock, Ludacris, Nathalie Emmanuel, Tyrese Gibson, and Kurt Russell, including their stint in Iceland. The third set gives fans a closer look at all the vehicular carnage caused on set. Hit the next slide to see all of the footage. The Fate of the Furious currently holds a 3.59 out of 5 on ComicBook.com’s anticipation rankings.

The fate of the Furious features a dark turn for Dom and Diesel hopes fans will stick with the family. “Very different. I knew that I was going to have to go to a dark place, part of the reason I returned to Xander [in XXX: The Return of Xander Cage] beforehand, to laugh a little onscreen before returning to Dom. It was an intense experience, to say the least. I only hope that the audience enjoys the journey despite the dark road ahead.”

From the shores of Cuba and the streets of New York City to the icy plains off the arctic Barents Sea, our elite force will crisscross the globe to stop an anarchist from unleashing chaos on the world’s stage…and to bring home the man who made them a family.

For The Fate of the Furious, Vin Diesel is joined by a returning all-star cast that includes Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Nathalie Emmanuel, Elsa Pataky and Kurt Russell. In addition to Theron, the series welcomes newcomers Scott Eastwood and Oscar winner Helen Mirren. The film is directed by F. Gary Gray (Straight Outta Compton) and produced by returning producers Neal H. Moritz, Michael Fottrell, and Diesel.

The Fate of the Furious opens in theaters April 14, 2017.
