Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) just shared a first look from the “Fast 8” movie, and it’s got us feeling like we just earned a dance with the devil (boy).
The wrestler-turned-actor shared a black-and-white photo of himself as Hobbs on Instagram on Saturday, getting us even more excited for the upcoming film. And we’re not alone — Johnson added a lengthy caption to the pic telling followers he’s ready to “disrupt the franchise in a cool way.” (Is that why he got the goatee?)
“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,” he wrote.

He even hinted at the possibility of a spin-off movie just for Hobbs, or more “Fast & Furious” films.
“I’ve had a solid first week of shooting, good to be back with the ohana, good to work again w/ my bud and director F. Gary Gray and our home studio of UNIVERSAL, as always have been the best partners to me and my #SevenBucksProds team,” he added. “Most importantly … you guys around the world will really dig this new version of the role, ‘cause as we always say, disrupters dent the universe.”
While Johnson continues getting into character, take a minute to watch this clip of the #F8 crew on their first day back on set together. The nostalgia is real.
