"Fast & Furious 8" is set for releasing on April 14, 2017: Dwayne Johnson

Fast & Fair News, May- 19, 2015:-- WWE Wrestler and Hollywood Actor Dwayne Johnson ‘The Rock’ (43) has confirmed he will star in “Fast & Furious 8”.

At a press conference, he said, "We all are interested in it. I just had a big conversation with the studio. So we'll see. I still think for me personally we've created a little bit of space for him in 'Furious 7' and the gauge is set for what the audience will want. That's my take on it, you know, but a lot of other people have to have input."

Johnson has become one of the best parts of the Fast and Furious franchise since his first appearance in "Fast Five".

The Fast and Furious eighth installment is set to hit North America on April 14, 2017.

It will be the first film in the franchise without Paul Walker. Vin Diesel is expected to reprise his role and so is Kurt Russell from the seventh movie.
