Movies that earn more than $1 billion worldwide tend to
produce sequels. As such, Furious 8 was a no-brainer. Yet, the ridiculously
lucrative Furious 7, ended with real closure, and raised some burning
questions. Can the series continue following the death of Paul Walker? Should
the series tell more stories in the lives of these now iconic screen
characters, or is it time to let the Fast & Furious crew drive off into the
sunset on one of the highest notes in franchise history?
That conversation is ongoing, but at least we have a
definitive answer. Vin Diesel took to the stage of CinemaCon recently and
confirmed that Fast & Furious 8 is happening, and will reach theaters on
April 14, 2017. It’s definitely happening! But there remain a ton of questions
about who will be involved both in front of and behind the camera. Let’s dig in
to all that we already know about the upcoming Fast & Furious sequel:
The Kurt Russell Connection
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. James Wan confirmed that the original ending of Furious 7 would
have led to new stories. But the first real hint we got about Fast &
Furious 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. And Vin spoke in the present tense, saying
that Russell’s covert character, Mr. Nobody, would be a catalyst for events
that would follow through in Fast & Furious 8. Now, Walker likely was going to be part of that
adventure, and now will not be. But that doesn’t mean the show can’t go on.
The New York Setting
In the same clip, Vin Diesel dropped the interesting nugget
that the crew would shift their mission for (or against) Mr. Nobody to the
streets of New York City.
Which, in my opinion, is fantastic. The Fast & Furious movies always have
been an L.A.-based franchise, and Diesel delivered on his promise to return the
series to Southern California with Furious 7.
But a series that has stopped in so many amazing global cities has yet to
invade the Big Apple, and I want to see Toretto’s crew try to stay fast in
midtown Manhattan
traffic. (The "furious" part won’t be difficult. New Yorkers are
always mad about something.) In a recent conversation, The Rock told the media
that they wanted to give Furious 7 time to breathe, and to succeed, but that
they were "up for the challenge" of doing Furious 8. And Diesel
chimed in that F8 sounds like "Fate," something he said Walker always believed.
Justin Lin’s Return
James Wan was an unusual choice to helm Furious 7 after
Justin Lin decided not to come back after directing multiple Fast films. Wan
primarily was known as a horror guy, and his lone foray into "action"
– the Kevin Bacon drama Death Sentence -- went largely unseen. It’s very
possible that Wan could come back to direct a Fast & Furious 8, especially
given the success of Furious 7. But a few months back, a story broke on
Deadline that Lin would return to the series to direct a multi-part finale. Wan
even said in a recent interview that Justin Lin would be the perfect choice to
bring the series to a close. This plan still could be in place, though Lin is
about to board the U.S.S. Enterprise as the director of Star Trek 3, so
Universal might have to put their red-hot series on ice for a bit if they want
to wait or Lin’s services. Would that be a good idea?
Lucas Black’s Contract
Those paying attention to the Fast & Furious timeline
synch couldn’t have been that surprised to see Lucas’ Black’s Tokyo Drift hero,
Sean Boswell, return to the screen. Furious 6 revealed that Han was killed by
Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham), so Dom pitstopped to Tokyo
to meet with Sean, get information on this new threat, and bring Han’s body
back to Los Angeles
for a proper burial. At the time, Black revealed that he had signed up for Fast
& Furious parts 7, 8 and 9. Again, plans for the series seem fluid, but if
Black was a part of the future story before, I see no reason to think he
couldn’t be part of the next two chapters, at least. Drift on!
The Eva Mendes Rumor
So far, the Fast & Furious films have made a habit out
of bringing familiar faces back into the fold. Michelle Rodriguez was believed
to be dead before returning for Fast & Furious 6. We just mentioned Lucas
Black, and his presence in Furious 7. So with the timeline realigned now, it
makes sense that a recent rumor suggests the return of Eva Mendes’s character,
U.S. Customs Agent Monica Fuentes, be brought back into the story. As we
learned in Furious 7, Dom and his crew now runs in criminal circles that involve
the federal government – or, shadow arms of the government operated by the
likes of Mr. Nobody. This could open up several doors for the Furious crew to
either have to help Fuentes… or avoid her. Maybe the God’s Eye MacGuffin from
the latest movie will put Toretto on Fuentes’ radar? Maybe Mr. Nobody has a new
job for Dom? I think Fast & Furious 8 will happen, particularly after
Furious 7 just broke the bank. Do you?
