12 Images That Will Restore Your Faith In Upcoming Movies
2. Hobbes The Iceman - Fast 8
Why We're Worried: Despite the last three Fast and Furious movies being easily the three best of the franchise, it'd be easy for Fast 8 to get complacent after the astounding, record-breaking box office success of Furious 7. Why make an effort when you don't have to?
Plus, F. Gary Gray (Straight Outta Compton) replaces James Wan as director, which is no guarantee for success, and generally speaking, it's probably just a matter of time before the law of diminished returns starts kicking in for the series.
Why This Image Rocks: This one literally rocks, because it shows off The Rock in a chilly Icelandic setting with a gigantic machine gun.
One of the key complaints about Furious 7 was that it didn't feature enough Dwayne Johnson, but from the looks of this, he won't be spending most of the film in a hospital bed this time, which can only be a good thing.
Given how responsible Johnson is for revitalising the series both critically and commercially, it follows that he will remain an essential piece of the puzzle moving forward.
