The production of the action packed Fast and Furious 8 is in a full swing. After the cast of the illegal street racing and heist film made history on the streets of Cuba, the fearless leader of the Fast family - Vin Diesel, smashed the internet with another exciting news for fans of the Fast 8.

Diesel confirmed Nathalie Emmanuel (the English actress as Sasha Valentine in the soap opera Hollyoaks) will appear in the upcoming Fast 8.

Entertainment Weekly stated that the criminal-turned-government operatives Dominic Toretto portrayed by Diesel broke the news on his Instagram account as he posted a video of himself and Emmanuel, who played Ramsey in Furious 7. Diesel captioned the post, "Ramsey's back! Love this girl."

In the video, Diesel and Emmanuel drove around in a golf cart and lip-syncing to Sade's By Your Side. The duo surely brought in the emotions.

Just like any other publication sites, Empire Online also claimed that film director F. Gary Gray of the drama film Straight Outta Compton, will be helming the upcoming multi-billion dollar series Fast 8. As the film is currently in pre-production, most of the cast from the previous movie are set to reprise their roles, sadly to say, Paul Walker isn't part of it anymore.

The semi-retired professional wrestler - Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, will return as the agent of the Diplomatic Security Service - Luke Hobbs.

However, it has been said that the addition of the South African actress and fashion model - Charlize Theron, as the new villain of the film, aroused everyone's curiosity.

In addition to the new faces like Theron and F. Gary Gray, the upcoming Fast 8 also welcomed the son of the legendary actor Clint Eastwood - Scott Eastwood.

After Diesel and his crew had the production of the Fast 8 in Cuba, they'll head back to the United States.

Fast 8 is slated to hit the big screens on April 2017.
