'Fast 8' Adds Game of Thrones' Kristofer Hivju
Fast 8 has added a new member to its cast, in Game of Thrones' Kristofer Hivju, as one of the main villain's henchmen.
Rumours began to circle last month that Charlize Theron is being eyed for said villain role, but nothing has yet been confirmed. Straight Outta Compton director F. Gary Gray is helming the film, which is set for an April 14, 2017 release.
Two more films following that have already been dated, for April 19 2019 and April 2 2021. For this one, Hivju joins Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris Bridges, Elsa Pataky and Lucas Black as series regulars. Jason Statham, Dwayne Johnson, and Kurt Russell are all expected to return.
