Vin Diesel took to Instagram on Sunday to share a cast photo from the set of the forthcoming Furious 8.

The 48-year old actor shared nothing beyond the photo and the #F8 hashtag as we see him standing on set with his team.

He has his arms wrapped around two of his female co-stars: recurring cast member, Michelle Rodriguez, 37, and first major newcomer, Charlize Theron, 40.

The gang is all here: The cast is confirmed to include Vin, Michelle, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris Ludacris Bridges, Elsa Pataky, Nathalie Emmanuel and Lucas Black, among others

As it also appears from the teaser photo posted on the movie’s Twitter page, the South African beauty will play the villainous character Cipher, a weapons expert of some sort.

When Charlize was asked how she felt about playing the villain, her response was, ‘I’m coming in to mess that s*** up!’ also adding, ‘I feel like that gang has got the driving down. Like, they have a good thing going. I don’t know if I need to step in in that department.’

The film director will be F. Gary Gray, who also directed Straight Outta Compton and previously worked with Theron on the 2003 remake of The Italian Job.

The exciting news about newcomer Theron follows another announcement made in April that the movie will be called Furious 8, since it’s planned to be the first film in a new trilogy which will end the Fast And Furious franchise, bringing the total number of films to 10.

Director Gray explains the significance of the video clip, stating, ‘First day with the entire team here, and it’s pretty damn good.’

 

Furious 8 will open in theaters on April 14th, 2017.
