Of course, this is just the latest big screen venture for Scott Eastwood, who is also starring in the upcoming DC comic book movie, ‘Suicide Squad’. And it sounds as though the ‘Fast and Furious 8’ cast is shaping up rather nicely…
But who will Scott Eastwood be playing?
Unfortunately, nothing is known about his role… but the film’s plot is thought to be somehow linked to the seventh instalment’s character Mr. Nobody – played by Kurt Russell.
During an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, Vin Diesel revealed that events set in motion by Mr. Nobody in ‘Fast 7’ would carry over into the next film. But quite what happens remains to be seen.
Scott Eastwood will join a returning cast which includes Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez and Tyrese Gibson as well as the recently cast Charlize Theron.
‘Fast and Furious 8’ heads to cinemas on 14 April 2017.
