With Furious 7 earning more than $1 billion worldwide, what’s the likelihood of an eighth installment? Dwayne Johnson told Access Hollywood it’s been discussed.
“Vin and I were talking the other day and we think the best thing [is] to probably create a little bit of space. Let’s let people enjoy Furious 7, and we’ll see,” he told Liz Hernandez at CinemaCon in Las Vegas. “It would be a great challenge to do Fast 8.”

“I love the franchise. I have a blast doing that franchise,” he said. “The character, the fun — the fun I have is off the charts.”
