Vin Diesel took to Instagram to share a "Fast And Furious 8" tease. However, it is not clear whether the photo, which says the post-Paul Walker sequel will be released in summer 2017, is an official promo or just a fan art as it has not been released via any Universal Studios channels.
More than half a million fans liked the Instagram photo posted on May 26, Tuesday, with a caption "#TorettoTuesday."
Aside from declaring that "Fast And Furious 8" will be released in the summer of 2017, the photo suggests that the upcoming film will have a New York City setting. During the CinemaCon in April, Diesel confirmed that the film will hit theaters on April 14, 2017.
So far, only Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has confirmed that he will reprise his role in "Furious 8" movie among all "Furious 7" cast. Recently, the WWE superstar talked to Reuters about his film "San Andreas," which recreated the magnitude 9-plus California earthquake.
When asked about what attracts audiences to a movie like "San Andreas," Johnson said, "You're dealing with Mother Nature at her strongest and it is the biggest earthquake ever recorded."
According to Johnson, "San Andreas" is "a platform for people to experience something on this epic level that they know unfortunately could happen."
Meanwhile, Walker, Diesel and Johnson's "Furious 7" co-star Jason Statham recently revealed what he likes to do with his girlfriend Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. The actor, who played Deckard Shaw in "Furious 7," told Esquire magazine that he likes to "get drunk and float around the swimming pool" with Huntington-Whiteley.
