Last week,Fast and Furious 8took fans behind-the-scenes with a newFast Fridaysvideo that showcased several of the powerful and exotic cars used in the movie. Ever since production started on this high-octane sequel, the production has been giving fans sneak peeks at the sets and the cast as part of their #FastFridays tradition. Instead of a new video, though, today we get five new photos that feature some of the cars driven by main characters during the scenes set in Iceland.
We’ve previously seen some of these cars in a Fast Fridays video fromIcelandearlier this month, but we didn’t know who any of these cars belonged to. These new photos, which were posted on the franchise’sFacebook, reveal that Dom (Vin Diesel) will be driving a bullet-riddled Dodge Charger, while Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) drives a Rally Fighter, Tej (Ludacris) rolls in a tank-like vehicle known as a Ripsaw, Roman (Tyrese Gibson) drives an orange Lamborghini while Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) has the biggest vehicle of all, an Ice Ram. Hopefully we’ll get to see more footage with these unique vehicles in action very soon.
Previous Fast Fridays material has given us our first look atCharlize Theronas the new villain Cipher, plus an insane “zombie car” stunt and a glimpse at the first day on set where the entire cast was assembled together. We also reported last week that Oscar winnerHelen Mirrenhas been confirmed for a role inFast & Furious 8, but it hasn’t been confirmed who she’s playing yet. The Oscar-winning actress made headlines last year when she revealed how much she wants to star in aFast & Furiousfilm and play a hard-driving villain.
The story will primarily take place in New York, with production set for the Big Apple, Atlanta and Russia. The crew has already shot inCubaand Iceland. It is believed that the Cuba scenes will introduce fans to Dominic Torreto’s Cuban family. It isn’t known how long principal photography is scheduled to last onFast & Furious 8, but we know this will be the first installment of the franchise’s final trilogy. Universal has already set an Jul 02, 2025 release date forFast & Furious 9, and the franchise closes out withFast & Furious 10on July 17, 2025.
F. Gary Gray, who directed last year’s critical and commercial sensationStraight Outta Compton, is taking the helm onFurious 8, working from a script byChris Morgan. The writer is responsible for penning every movie in the series, except for the first two, 2001’sThe Fast and the Furiousand 2003’s2 Fast 2 Furious. Universal has already set an June 15, 2025 release date forFast & Furious 8, and it currently has that date all to itself. But it will be hitting theaters one week after Warner Bros.‘Going In Styleremake and Sony’sSmurfs: The Lost Village. Take a look at the latest photos from theFast & Furious 8set, and stay tuned for more on this sequel.
