Fast & Furious 8: 15 Things We Already Know For Certain

1. The Rock & Vin Diesel Had A "Major Falling Out" On Set

Back in August, Dwayne Johnson posted a cryptic Instagram message while working on Fast 8, saying, "Some conduct themselves as stand up men and true professionals, while others don't. The ones that don't are too chicken s*** to do anything about it anyway. Candy a**es."

Rumour then began to spread that Johnson was getting fed up with Vin Diesel's "unprofessional" behaviour on set, showing up late to set and pushing back the call time as much as possible.

Diesel responded by remarking on social media that Tommy Lee Jones was actually the first choice to play Hobbs, and the two basically kept going back-and-forth with thinly-veiled jabs at one another.

While it would be interesting to see how this vitriol permeates through to the movie itself, some fans suspect the feud is just a publicity stunt to promote the movie, or perhaps even to promote a potential Rock vs. Vin Diesel match at WrestleMania 33, which takes place less than 2 weeks before the movie opens.

Excited for Fast 8? What do you make of what we've seen so far? Shout it out in the comments!
