She kind of reminds me of Angelina Jolie from Gone in 60 Seconds.

yeah, Theron always looks good and seems to fit in these action oriented roles (Italian Job, MM:FR), but i do like her smaller stuff like Young Adult and Monster as well.

Young Adult is amazingly good. Like... just on paper.. that thing had the recipe for what could have been alright at best in a more mainstream pair of hands. But holy fuck was it good.

He looks like he should be guest starring on Sons of Anarchy.
The Fu Man Chu goatee is an "different" look for Hobbs.

Helen Mirren just confirmed her involvement:

While promoting her latest project, Eye in the Sky, Helen Mirren has confirmed she is joining the already massive cast of Fast & Furious 8.
"I like it to be serious. Of course, having said that I'm about to do Fast and Furious 8," Mirren tells Elle, before adding, "But that's for the fun of it. So maybe that's what I want as well, some fun and some relevant, serious, important movies."
When asked, for good measure, if she is confirming a role in Fast & Furious 8, Mirren solidified her involvement with the global franchise by simply saying, "Yes, I am."
While details of Mirren's role in the film, including her character's name and relationship to the franchise heroes like Dom and Letty, are still unknown, the actress is hoping to get behind the wheel of some fast cars with this opportunity. "I've always rather loved driving," she explains. "I said, 'I'll be in it, but only if I'm allowed to drive if I do drive in it.' But we'll see. We'll see how it transpires. Film is a wonderful thing and it can be so many different things. I don't want to turn my back on any of the different ways movies can be. I love the movies. I love going to the films. I like very serious films, I love foreign films, and I love big, fun movies–as long as they're well made and they've got good scripts. That's the most important thing."
Mirren joins a cast of both returning and new stars of the franchise. Diesel, Michele Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris Jackson, Jason Statham, Dwayne Johnson, and Kurt Russell are all returning to their roles with Charlize Theron, Kristofer Hivju, Scott Eastwood. Fast 8 is directed by F. Gary Gray and is currently in the midst of production.
Fast & Furious 8 is set for release on April 14, 2017.

I knew this would end up happening. If someone like her says they want to be in your movie, you make it happen. This cast is pretty crazy.

Would she or any of the big name celebs, do any of the earlier movies? Doubt it.
These big names just want a piece of the pie now that it's been baked. They wanted nothing to do with it while it was being made.

Perhaps she'll play The Queen, and Vin and the gang save her from a murderous baseball player at a big game.

Yeah. It was going to happen at some point cuz Diesel also loves these old school actors. Like.. he admires the fuck out of them. Dench was only in Chronicle of Riddick cuz of how much Diesel amped her up on just being Judy fucking Dench.

Another picture of Johnson from the Fast 8 set.
I'm going to guess that Hobbs is undercover for some kind of operation.
The Iceman cometh. And don't fucketh around.

I'm guessing the same but would they go back to the well that soon? Walker just did that in the last flick.

That was probably what 3-4 years ago in the movie's timeline by the time Part 8 opens next year.
