Mixing that up with the cold as ice villain that Charlize Theron brought into The Fate and the Furious is only the cherry on top of the vengeance sundae.
The chemistry of Johnson & Statham as adversaries in Furious 7 and as comrades in The Fate of the Furious showed that not only can they keep up in terms of physical prowess, but they have an easy rapport that can go from tough guy to class clown at the drop of a flag.
It really feels like this potential project is more of a good thing, but that having been said, there are some matters to attend to.
At the moment, it’s hard to be anything but thrilled that Fast & Furious will be giving Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham the buddy action flick they so richly deserve, especially if Theron is the big bad they’re facing off against.
