While “Furious 7” is absolutely killing it at the box office, Vin Diesel announced today at Universal’s CinemaCon that an 8th film in the franchise is indeed happening.
Variety had a nice little write up about the moment Diesel announced the news. You can check out an excerpt below:
“Choking back tears, Diesel told the crowd of theater owners, “It means a lot to me to get your blessing.” He took the audience back to two years ago when, on the same stage at Caesars Palace, Diesel and Paul Walker, the actor who died in a 2013 car crash, said they planned to move forward on a seventh film in the action franchise.
“We were giddy and excited,” said Diesel. “You all gave me so much confidence. There was so much love.”
