Right on schedule, the first trailer for The Fate of the Furious premiered today–and it’s awesome. The trailer showcases some incredible action sequences and also teases out the story. We learn that Vin Diesel’s character, Dom, has apparently turned his back on his crew to do the bidding of Charlize Theron’s character. Or maybe it’s just an act. We’ll see. Check out the video above.
The Fate of the Furious is directed by F. Gary Gray, who most recently helmed the hugely successful hip-hop biopic Straight Outta Compton. Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, and Jason Statham are all returning from the previous movies and are joined by Theron, Helen Mirren, and Kurt Russell.
It comes out in April 2017.
Earlier this year, Diesel announced the release dates for the next three parts in the series, with parts 9 and 10 following in 2019 and 2021. He also told Variety that there were plans for spinoffs. “We’ve written out story lines for various characters,” he said. “We’ve been playing with it for a long time. It’s a very rich property and we’re committed to treating it with a lot of class.”
