Universal Pictures have just released the second feature length trailer for Fast & Furious 8, aka The Fate of the Furious. In this film’s first trailer we caught wind of Vin Diesel‘s character ‘Dominic Toretto’ going rogue and splitting from his usual crew. In this second Furious 8 trailer, we don’t learn all the facts but we get a glimpse into the relationship between Dominic Toretto/Vin Diesel and Charlize Theron’s character of Cipher.
Here’s the extended description for the trailer provided by Universal Pictures UK:
On the heels of 2015’s Fast and Furious 7, one of the fastest movies to reach $1 billion worldwide in box-office history and the sixth-biggest global title of all time, comes the newest chapter in one of the most popular and enduring motion-picture serials of all time: Fast & Furious 8.
Now that Dom and Letty are on their honeymoon and Brian and Mia have retired from the game—and the rest of the crew has been exonerated—the globetrotting team has found a semblance of a normal life. But when a mysterious woman (Oscar® winner Charlize Theron) seduces Dom into the world of crime he can’t seem to escape and a betrayal of those closest to him, they will face trials that will test them as never before.
From the shores of Cuba and the streets of New York City to the icy plains off the arctic Barents Sea, our elite force will crisscross the globe to stop an anarchist from unleashing chaos on the world’s stage…and to bring home the man who made them a family.
Cipher/Charlize Theron is the ‘anarchist’ in this situation, obviously.
Universal Pictures also makes mention of Fast & Furious 7 in their caption and how that movie reached $1 billion at the worldwide box office in a heartbeat. Methinks that some of that had to do with the unbelievably tragic death of Paul Walker. I’ll genuinely be shocked if The Fate of the Furious comes anywhere close to that film’s box office earnings….That said, I’m stoked for this movie to come out on April 12th.
