"Fast And Furious" is expected to be back on the big screen in 2017. Here is the latest news on what we can look forward to in the box office record-breaking franchise.

The setting: The "Fast and Furious" movie setting has always been one of the most talked about aspects of the film. From Los Angeles, to Tokyo, to Rio de Janeiro, to Abu Dhabi and other distant locations in various corners of the world, the movie seems to draw in even more supporters by staging the action packed sequences in different geographical backdrops.

Action star Vin Diesel who plays character Dom Toretto in the series appeared on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" recently to promote his latest film "The Last Witch Hunter." In the show, Diesel confirmed that "Fast And Furious 8" will be set in the busy city of New York, a place the series has never been in, reported Screenrant.

The Director: The eighth "Fast and Furious" movie will have a new director in the person of F. Gary Gray, known for his work in movies "The Italian Job," "Law Abiding Citizen" and "The Negotiator," according to IMDb.

The Cast: Though the world will truly miss Paul Walker and his lead role in the film as Brian O'Conner, Vin Diesel is sure to be back to reprise his own leading role. According to Cinema Blend, majority of the cast from the previous installments will be back for "Fast and Furious 8." A couple of those who confirmed their return are Jason Statham, who plays the villain Deckard Shaw, and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who has plays the government bounty hunter Luke Hobbs. Jordana Brewster, who plays Mia, the wife of O'Conner, is also rumored to come back, but we wonder how this will play out since we had seen the end of O'Conner in the last film.

The Plot: At the moment, there is no confirmation regarding the plot of "Fast and Furious 8."

The good news however, is that the "Fast and Furious 8" full movie release date has been confirmed to happen on April 14, 2017.
