“I think he went into making this movie with a little bit of a chip on his shoulder, going ‘Oh, really? Okay. Now, I’m going to take the biggest saga in the world, and I’m about to throw Oscars at you. Wait till you see what he does’,” Diesel told etonline.com.

“(Fast 8) is different. It’s very dark,” said Diesel, who plays the role of Dominic Toretto in the franchise.

“My character is conflicted in a way that is really going to shock you. He’s coming off of a lot of emotion from Furious 7 and the loss that Furious 7 represents,” he added.

Fast 8 is set to release on April 14, 2017 in the US.
