AceShowbiz - As "Furious 7" is making a grand entrance at the box office with a record-breaking $100-plus debut, a new report for what to expect in the sequel emerges. According to Latino-Review's El Mayimbe, Eva Mendes may return for the next installment.
Mendes who just gave birth to her first child with Ryan Gosling played U.S. Customs Service agent Monica Fuentes in the second installment "2 Fast 2 Furious" in 2003. She then returned for a cameo in the franchise's fifth film "Fast Five" in 2011.
"FAST & FURIOUS 8 #RUMOR With #fast7 now in the record books, the upcoming NY based #Fast8 story will depend on whether they can bring back Eva Mendes' character: US Customs Agent Monica Fuentes," Mayimbe wrote on his Instagram page.
Aside from Mendes, Kurt Russell is also expected to return for "Fast and Furious 8" as Vin Diesel previously suggested, "I always think of these films multiple pictures in advance - I think of them as trilogies. Kurt Russell came in for this movie, but we really hired him because of the story that follows this - that takes place in New York. Cool stuff that not everybody knows."
