The eighth installment of "The Fast and The Furious" franchise, "Fast 8," is being filmed under the able direction of F. Gary Gary. The shooting is in full swing and fans would be delighted to know about a spoiler of sorts that Dwayne Johnson aka Hobbs has posted on his Instagram account.
The talented actor keeps posting photos from his upcoming movie, but the latest one is not like the regular updates, according to iDigital Times. It does not have cars, guns, and muscles; the usual stuff Johnson posts about. Rather, it holds an important plot secret. The photograph, he has posted, shows him wearing an orange prison jumpsuit and it has been captioned with the words: "The Iceman cometh. And don't fucketh around."
Well, prima facie, it does not look like a major spoiler, but it is very likely a significant component of the upcoming sequel's plot. If you remember the end of "Furious 7," it showed Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham), the rogue Special Forces assassin, imprisoned in a high-security detainment facility. And he cannot be set free until and unless some great lawyer comes to his rescue.
And that looks quite improbable which means someone would have to intervene and who can do it better than Hobbs. It is being said that he might enter the detainment facility as a prisoner to set the supervillain free. Well, the speculation sounds convincing, but then arises another important question.
Why would Shaw be set free? Isn't he the deadliest enemy? Well, speculations claim that he is being brought out of prison to defeat another equally deadly character. His help is needed to counter Cipher (Charlize Theron), who will be playing a "Hannibal Lecter-like villain named Cipher," IGN stated.
Well, if the conjecture is true, it certainly makes for an interesting plot. Fans would love to watch a prison break involving the rogue assassin and the FBI agent, accompanied by some insane action and stunts.
Meanwhile, the publication also reports that Helen Mirren would not be involved in driving in the upcoming movie. Earlier it was rumored that she might be seen performing stunts.
