Fast & Furious 8′ movie cast rumors: Kurt Russell, Eva Mendes, and Cody Walker to return?

“Furious 7,” the latest in “The Fast and the Furious” franchise, was a blockbuster success. It broke the records of its own predecessors and embedded itself into cinematic history. And due to this unbridled success, the roadster-centric film series will further expand with “Fast & Furious 8.”

Details are fairly scanty about the flick. Fans only know the premiere date of the film and some possible details on the storyline. During the ComicCon in Las Vegas, Vin Diesel, who fans know as Dominic Toretto in the “Fast & Furious” movies, revealed that there will be an eighth film, which is set to be released on April 14, 2017.

It was also Diesel who suggested the possibility of Kurt Russell’s character’s return in the film. In “Furious 7,” Mr. Nobody was one of the many problems of the Toretto gang although his role was only meant to be small. So it looks like the character would do bigger damage in the next movie just as the gang delves into the world of sly government officials.
