It is reported that the "Baby" singer Justin Bieber may be joining the cast of "Fast & Furious 8" as Brain O'Conner and a Paul Walker cameo may also be on the cards.
Earlier, there were many rumours that Cody Walker, who is the late Walker's brother will be the returning in this movie to reprise his role as O'Conner. The 7th film in the franchise is not the finale for this beloved character, as the character will not be killed off. The cast and crew of the franchise really want to continue with the late Walker's legacy till the end of this series.
Meanwhile, it is strongly speculated that the antagonist in the upcoming sequel is Charlize Theron. Bringing a female villain into the film is surely going to set the plot crazy. Even though these rumours are rising fast, Theron is has not commented on this.
Apart from Theron and Walker, the new additions to the cast include Cara Delevigne, Justin Bieber, and Matt Damon. The role portrayal of Bieber is still unconfirmed, but according to rumours, his role will be pivotal in the movie. There are also reports that instead of enacting O'Conner's character, Bieber may instead be cast as the racing buddy of Lucas Black.
On the other hand, Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel will be reprising their roles as movie's main protagonists Luke Hobbs and Dominic Toretto respectively. Michelle Rodriguez will also return to play the role of Letty Ortiz, who is Diesel's love interest in the movie.
It is also rumored that Eva Mendes will come back with her role as Monica Fuentes. She was last seen in "2 Fast 2 Furious." Ludacris, Black, Tyrese Gibson, and Jason Statham will also star in this instalment of the franchise. The complete shooting of the film is expected to take approximately eight weeks and it is already on the go, according to Yahoo Movies.
