In most cases, this usually means that the movies are going to go back in time with prequels to the first movie. Fans might be able to see who it all started and even though Diesel did not mention what characters would be branching off, the speculation was around Dwayne Johson’s Luke Hobbs, Jason Statham’s Deckard Shaw and Luke Evan’s Owen Shaw.
You can basically count on the popular characters being the ones that get the spin-off titles as that would be easier for fans to relate to if any new movie does come out. According to the reports online this week, the Fast and Furious 8 movie will be written by Gary Scott Thompson and directed by F. Gary Gray.
For those of you that have been with the franchise since the beginning, it has been a wild ride and you have been waiting long enough for Fast and Furious 8 to arrive. Those close to the film producers and director stated that it will likely hit theaters in April of 2017.
