Vin Diesel plays Dominic Toretto in The Fate of the Furious, where the character turns on his own crew after the cyberterrorist Cipher forces him to work for her. Diesel is also a producer on the film. When F. Gary Gray confirmed he would direct in October 2015, he thanked Diesel by name as one of his partners on the project, according to TheWrap.
Jason Statham returns in The Fate of the Furious as Deckard Shaw, the former enemy of Dominic Toretto's crew. TheWrap's April 2016 report on the casting of Kristofer Hivju described Statham as the franchise's villain Deckard Shaw, and its April 11 report on Scott Eastwood confirmed Statham would be back for the eighth film.
Dwayne Johnson plays Luke Hobbs in The Fate of the Furious, the DSS agent who works alongside Dominic Toretto's crew. Variety's April 2016 report on Charlize Theron named Johnson among the stars set to reprise their previous roles, and Comcast listed him with the returning cast when the film opened. He is billed third in the TMDB credits.
Michelle Rodriguez plays Letty Ortiz, who opens The Fate of the Furious on her honeymoon with Dominic Toretto in Havana. The A.V. Club notes that Letty has been at Dom's side since the first film, The Fast and the Furious (2001). That film was directed by Rob Cohen. Variety listed Rodriguez among the actors reprising their roles when it confirmed the casting of Charlize Theron in April 2016.
Tyrese Gibson returns in The Fate of the Furious as Roman Pearce, one of the crew members left confused and hunted once Dominic Toretto changes sides. Roman made his debut in 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003), according to The A.V. Club. John Singleton was the director of that film. Variety named Gibson in April 2016 as one of the stars reprising earlier roles for the eighth film.
Ludacris, credited under his stage name, plays Tej Parker in The Fate of the Furious, a member of Dominic Toretto's crew. Comcast lists him under the name Chris Bridges among the returning cast at release. TheWrap's April 2016 report on Kristofer Hivju also named Ludacris with the core crew heading into the eighth chapter.
Charlize Theron plays Cipher in The Fate of the Furious, the cyberterrorist who forces Dominic Toretto to work for her. Variety reported in April 2016 that Universal approached Theron while Chris Morgan was still writing the script, and that she would not commit until a finished draft existed. Comcast described her role as a mysterious woman who draws Dom into a life of crime.
Kurt Russell returns in The Fate of the Furious as Mr. Nobody, the government operative who first appeared in Furious 7 (2015), directed by James Wan. TheWrap pointed to that debut when Universal announced Scott Eastwood as Mr. Nobody's new protégé in April 2016, and Comcast lists Russell among the returning cast at release.
Nathalie Emmanuel returns as Ramsey, who first appeared in Furious 7 (2015) as the creator of that film's central piece of technology, according to The A.V. Club. Comcast lists Emmanuel among the returning cast, which makes The Fate of the Furious her second film in the franchise. She is billed ninth in the TMDB credits.
Luke Evans is credited in The Fate of the Furious as Owen Shaw, the brother of Deckard Shaw. In a February 2017 Yahoo interview, Evans said he was not set to appear, noting that Owen had last been seen in a coma in Furious 7 after his fall at the end of Fast & Furious 6. Universal declined to comment, and the final TMDB credits list him tenth.
Elsa Pataky returns in The Fate of the Furious as Elena Neves, one of the familiar faces that Comcast, Universal's parent company, listed among the returning cast at release. She is billed eleventh in the TMDB credits, between Luke Evans and Kristofer Hivju.
Kristofer Hivju plays Rhodes in The Fate of the Furious. TheWrap broke the casting on April 6, 2016, describing the Norwegian actor, known as Tormund Giantsbane on HBO's Game of Thrones, as one of the villain's main henchmen. He joined the franchise with this film and is billed twelfth in the TMDB credits.
The Fate of the Furious cast came together by keeping the core ensemble in place and adding a new director and a new villain. F. Gary Gray confirmed on Facebook on October 8, 2015, that he would direct, and TheWrap reported that he beat Ruben Fleischer to the job. Chris Morgan wrote the script, and that draft ended up shaping the biggest casting decision of all.
Variety reported on April 7, 2016, that Charlize Theron had joined the film, after the studio approached her while the script was still being written. She held off until a finished draft existed. TheWrap had reported Kristofer Hivju as a henchman a day earlier, and Universal named Scott Eastwood as the protégé of Mr. Nobody on April 11, 2016.
So, how does a sequel this size fill its new roles? Much like a diner that keeps its regulars behind the counter and hires a new head cook, the studio kept its core ensemble and slotted fresh names around them. Filming took in Havana, Iceland, Atlanta and Cleveland, and the film opened on April 14, 2017. The page on the fate of the furious covers the plot and the production in full.
Most of The Fate of the Furious ensemble returns from earlier films in the saga, while Charlize Theron, Scott Eastwood and Kristofer Hivju are new. Comcast, Universal's parent company, lists Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris Bridges (Ludacris), Nathalie Emmanuel, Elsa Pataky and Kurt Russell as returning cast. Luke Evans also comes back as Owen Shaw in the final credits, although he told Yahoo in February 2017 that he was not set to appear.
Theron plays Cipher, Eastwood plays Little Nobody and Hivju plays Rhodes. Comcast also names Helen Mirren as a newcomer, and TMDB lists her role as Queenie, uncredited. The studio synopsis explains that Brian and Mia have retired, so the story centers on the rest of the crew. For every film these actors appear in, the fast and furious movies hub lists the whole saga in one place.
