It is logical, because the previous episode raised about 1.5 billion dollars at the box office, which indicates absolute box office success. The other half of moviegoers say that they should put an end to the tragic events with the main actor of Fast and the Furious Paul Walker. Which of them will be right will be known after the release of the tape on the screens. Read more about how, where and with whom the shooting was carried out, read the article.
The plot of the new part
The cast of the movie "Fast and the Furious-8" will confront the new antagonist. The role of the attractive main villain of the film went to Charlize Theron. The actress confirmed her participation in the project on the page on Facebook.
From the official trailer, it becomes clear that the main character of the tape, Dominic Torreto, played by Vin Diesel, asks himself the question: “Could I once imagine that I would betray my friends?” He comes face to face with a dangerous cybercriminal and is probably forced to work with her for some common purpose. His team falls into the hands of the authorities, and Torreto is declared enemy No. 1. The true intentions of Dominic will become known only at the premiere.
There is another important storyline that migrated from the previous part of the franchise. In the eighth part, Mr. Nobody will also appear in person. It is possible that the filmmakers will reveal the cards, and the viewer will know about who this person is, what happened in his past and what his plans for the future are.
More details about the production of the film were not disclosed. The shooting process has already been completed, only technical details remain. Will there be any other main characters? This question is still shrouded in the mystery of filming.
Fast and Furious 8: Cast and Roles
It has already been mentioned that in the new part of the franchise we will see old heroes on the screens. In addition to Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez will play in the film. She returns to the team in the story. Her character Letty Ortiz is one of the most experienced female racers, a strong-willed lady and faithful friend of Dominic Torreto.

But a team of friends was able to send him to prison, from which they no longer go out into the wild. However, Deckard is back in service. How he will be able to free himself, we learn from the new part.
The rule of law in the new part again embodies the character of Dwayne Johnson. Luke Hobbs in the story is a stern, but fair federal agent. He is known to moviegoers in the fifth part of the franchise.

Fans speculate that it will become a kind of replacement for the protagonist of the previous parts, Brian O'Conner. There are also suggestions that this character will act in conjunction with Mr. Nobody.
To be or not to be without Paul Walker
By tragic accident, the participants in the Fast and the Furious 8 project - the cast and crew - said goodbye to the celebrity, thanks to whom the franchise became so popular with Paul Walker. The actor died in a car accident and did not even have time to complete the shooting in the 7th part.
Of course, for a long time, speculation was circulating over the Internet that they would try to “revive” the character. Now the film industry has quite a lot of opportunities - this is computer graphics and high-quality editing. Moreover, Walker had two brothers who could replace him on the set. But the director abandoned this venture in favor of focusing on other, no less interesting characters in the franchise.
So, new and old heroes promise even more dashing plot than in the previous parts. The film will be full of chases, action scenes and beautiful shooting. It remains to wait for the premiere to assess how good the film is Fast 8 without Paul.
