Vin Diesel Confirms ‘Fast And Furious 8’ Due Out In April 2017

The "Fast and Furious" saga is revving up for another ride.

Vin Diesel announced on Thursday that there will be an eight installment of the muscle car franchise released on April 14, 2017.

"We're going to make the best movie you've ever seen," the actor said at Universal's CinemaCon presentation in Las Vegas on Thursday, The news shouldn't come as a shock to anyone, as "Furious 7" has remained the reigning box office king since its debut earlier this month, raking in more than $1.1 billion worldwide.

During the presentation, Diesel became emotional while talking about late pal Paul Walker, who died in an accident off set while "Furious 7" was filming.

"The last time I was on this stage I was with my brother Pablo," Diesel said. "It's hard for me to even watch that clip and then come out here without being emotional. But most importantly, I mean it from the bottom of my heart, that you guys, you help us make this special."
