The Rock shares first look of his character in Fast 8

The picture shows Johnson donning a leather jacket while sporting a goatee.

The Rock posted the picture on Instagram with caption that read, “When you strip a man of all he has. All that’s important to him. You force him to return to his roots and sometimes that’s a very dangerous and twisted place. If I was going to return for another FAST & FURIOUS I wanted to come in and disrupt the franchise in a cool way that got fans fired up and their blood pumping to see a new version of Hobbs and his “Daddy’s gotta go to work” mentality and set the table in a cool way for where the character goes in the future.”

“Maybe it’s a spinoff movie. Maybe it’s more #FF movies. Or hell maybe Hobbs just gets on his motorcycle and rides off into the sunset never to be seen again,” Johnson wrote.

The actor said that he had a solid first week of shooting and it was good to work with his friend and director F. Gary Gray.

Johnson was introduced in the Fast and Furious series in the fifth installment titled “Fast Five” as DSS Hobbs and has been casted in every single film in the franchise since then.

The flick is expected to be released on 14th April, 2017.
