Michelle Rodriguez was also quoted as saying that she would want Angelina Jolie to join the franchise because she is very capable of taking on a badass character just like her Letty Ortiz.
And the latest names of possible new cast members who have just made it to the list quite recently now includes Idris Elba of “The Wire,” rapper Wiz Khalifa who according to rumors would like to follow the footsteps of Ludacris to superstardom, and UFC woman’s lightweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk.
It can be recalled that UFC woman’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey was also part of the cast of “Fast & Furious 7” and it seems that Rousey has just endorsed Joanna because she is such a little ninja and would be a cool addition to the franchise.
However, all these casting rumors are still subject to confirmation from Universal Pictures or from some of the cast members so everything should be taken with a fine grain of salt.
“Fast & Furious 8” is to become the first film in a splendid trilogy to wrap up the series, according to Vin Diesel when he recently guested on “The Tonight’s Show with Jimmy Fallon.”
Diesel was quoted as saying that the final trilogy shall close the franchise for good. With its $2.3 billion box-office haul for all of the seven movies, it is only fitting to give the franchise a graceful end.
