The latest update has to do with Dwayne Johnson confirming his involvement in the Furious 7 sequel. Johnson spoke to Collider about how Hobbs was integral to the plot. "Of course. It can't go on without Hobbs," he said.
Johnson went on to talk about the possibility of a spin-off relating to his character, a movie with Hobbs as protagonist. "We all are interested in it. I just had a big conversation with the studio. So we'll see," he said of the prospect. "I still think for me personally we've created a little bit of space for him in '7' and the gauge is set for what the audience will want. That's my take on it, you know, but a lot of other people have to have input."
In an interview with MTV Diesel stated that Paul Walker was certain of a sequel for Furious 7.
"Paul used to say that ['Fast & Furious] 8' was guaranteed and, in some ways, when your brother guarantees something, you have to make sure it comes to pass," Diesel said.
He went on to place Walker in the next project beautifully stating that next film will be "from" him.
"So, if fate has it - fate, 'F8' - then you'll get it. 'Furious 7′ was for Paul; 8 is from Paul.'"
Recently, The Hollywood Reporter reveals that it's still going to be a while to go before Fast and Furious 8 goes into production.
The film's producer Neal Moritz spoke the publication about their vision for the sequel to Furious 7. He suggested that right now the moment was about celebrating the massive success of Furious 7 and they will get to discussing what their plans are going forward in a while.
"Honestly, we're just bathing in the success of this," he said. "We'll probably get together in a week or so to talk."
Fast and Furious 8 will be released on April 15, 2017.
Furious 7 hit theaters on April 3, 2015.
