We are now seven movies in with an eighth on the way, and the FAST AND FURIOUS franchise shows no signs of slowing down, which I admit would be contradictory to their title. But the franchise has never been more popular, with FURIOUS 7 racking in $1.5 billion worldwide. That last installment’s success proved the series can still surprise it, which they’ve done just now by unveiling the official title of the eighth installment, and I bet you can’t guess what it is. Go ahead, I’ll wait. If you guessed THE FATE OF THE FURIOUS you were right, but you’re also a cheat, and I challenge you to a duel…but not before you check out the trailer tease below!
The tease promises more of the same: guns, cars, techno music and piles of testosterone. The only shocking thing is the title, which sounds bit like the next installment in a series of romantic novels about folks in an anger management group. But at least it’s a shakeup from the expected FURIOUS 8 title. If the series can’t change up its style or content, might as well go for the title.
THE FATE OF THE FURIOUS rolls into theaters April 14 with Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Kurt Russell, Tyrese Gibson, Charlize Theron and more, and be sure to stay tuned for the full trailer!
