For hardcore Fast and Furious fans, Sean Boswell's (Lucas Black) appearance in Furious 7 was an exciting moment.

It has also perhaps left them wanting to see more of him, and for those fans there is some good news. In a new round up about speculation surrounding the movie, a Digital Spy UK report revealed that Black had signed up for three movies while signing on for Furious 7 so his return in Fast and Furious 8 seems highly likely.

Bringing characters back from the older films is one of the major draws of the Fast and Furious series and another rumor of a similar nature going strong has to do with the return of Eva Mendes as Agent Fuentes.

Recent reports reveal that Mendes, who played the part of Fuentes in 2 Fast 2 Furious, is actually in talks with the producers for starring the next installment. The actress will most likely be joining Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) to tackle a new villain in New York.

We Got This Covered has information from an anonymous source that Mendes is actually having discussions about coming on board, as we speak.

Fast and Furious 8 will be released on April 15, 2017.

Furious 7 hit theaters on April 3, 2015.
