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

11. Dom Will Be "Dark And Tormented"

The Fast franchise may largely be concerned with silly fun, but Fast 8 will apparently see Dom in a very different place mentally.

Of the film's tone, Vin Diesel said, "Fast 8 is different. It's very dark. My character is conflicted in a way that is really going to shock you. He's coming off of a lot of emotion from 7 and the loss that 7 represents. It's kind of cold-blooded. It's going to hit you like a ton of bricks."

It makes sense for Dom to be in a different place from any of the other movies, what with Brian and Mia's absence from the team, but hopefully director F. Gary Gray can find a firm tonal balance that ensures the focus is still placed on insane action rather than Serious Drama.
