Vin Diesel has dropped some major revelations on the next installment of the "Fast and Furious" franchise including its title "Fast 8," the return of Mr. Nobody's character and the movie's release date slated on April 14, 2017.
He ended his emotional speech during the recently-concluded Teen Choice Awards with: "I love all of you. I love all of you, and until Fast 8..."

Diesel also paid tribute to Paul Walker as reported by People.
"I can't stand here and be rewarded like this without talking about somebody very important to us. One of the best lessons in our lives is the fact that we had the opportunity call Pablo our brother. Paul Walker is here in spirit with us," he said.
The actor then acknowledged the presence of Walker's family in the audience, who according to him inspired them to complete "Fast and Furious 7" following the tragic death of his costar in November 2013.
In Diesel's Instagram post with caption "Toretto Tuesday" two weeks ago, Kurt Russell was seen with him in a photo. Russell played Mr. Nobody, the leader of a covert operations team that agreed to help Dom catch Shaw in exchange of preventing Jakande to obtain "God's Eye" in the last Fast and Furious movie. This post triggered a lot of speculations that the character will reappear in the eighth and possibly the final installment of the franchise.
The 64-year old Russell also hinted his return to "Fast 8" during his guesting on the Jimmy Kimmel show.
There are also persistent reports that mentioned the name of model Cara Delevigne as part of the cast. Others believe that Eva Mendes will also return.
"Furious 7" is now the third highest-grossing film of all time just behind Avatar and Titanic, which hold the top and second spot respectively. The film released last April amassed more than $1.5 billion in worldwide box office.
