AceShowbiz - A new image from "Fast and Furious 8" has just been unleashed. It shows the first look at Hobbs, the character played by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. "When you strip a man of all he has. All that's important to him. You force him to return to his roots.. and sometimes that's a very dangerous and twisted place," he captioned the picture showing Hobbs wearing jeans and a leather vest.
The actor added, "If I was going to return for another FAST & FURIOUS I wanted to come in and disrupt the franchise in a cool way that got fans fired up and their blood pumping to see a new version of Hobbs and his 'Daddy's gotta go to work' mentality and set the table in a cool way for where the character goes in the future."
"Maybe it's a spinoff movie. Maybe it's more #FF movies. Or hell maybe Hobbs just gets on his motorcycle and rides off into the sunset never to be seen again. Either way, I've had a solid first week of shooting, good to be back with the ohana, good to work again w/ my bud and director F. Gary Gray and our home studio of UNIVERSAL, as always have been the best partners to me and my #SevenBucksProds team," he continued. "Most importantly ... you guys around the world will really dig this new version of the role, 'cause as we always say, disrupters dent the universe."
