Given the box office success of Fast & Furious 7 (which is now the third biggest film of all time), it’s no surprise that Universal is racing full speed ahead with its plans for an eighth instalment in the blockbuster action series. Both Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson are confirmed as returning for Fast & Furious 8, and now Jason Statham has revealed that he’ll also be back as bad guy Deckard Shaw.
“We’re already talking about doing another one, Part 8,” Statham tells Access Hollywood. “I’m a newcomer! I just got invited to the party in this last one so it’s nice to know I’m gonna be doing another… They’ve always got something good up their sleeve, and I don’t want to be the one who spoils the plot lines but there is some great stuff I already know about.”
