As well as Lucas Black, another Fast franchise veteran might be about to come back into the fold for the eighth.

According to Umberto Gonzalez - Ace Scooper extraordinaire who does genuinely get about 28% of what he says correct - Eva Mendes is in talks to repreise her role as agent Monica Fuentes. She was last seen properly in 2 Fast 2 Furious as well as briefly in Fast Five.

Universal have apparently wanted to work with the star for a while, and the deal is said to be done for her to come back in a key role for the plot. That would suggest she's relocated to New York City, and will be on the trail of the same villain as Mr Nobody and Toretto's crew.

She might also be joined by English actor Tommy Hatto, who was linked with a role as a new racer who knows Fuentes closely.
