The frenetic trailers, TV spots and action-packed promo shots for Universal’s forthcoming speedster sequel, Furious 7, look set to continue rolling out right until the film hits theaters. Today, the studio has posted a new teaser preview to further make you wish you could afford a car with five gears (reverse doesn’t count).
With returning stars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson leading the petrolhead crew, Furious 7 has a slew of franchise faves back to deliver badass retorts and generally behave in a very cool manner behind the wheel – Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson and Chris Bridges to name a few. This newest snippet offers a brief glimpse at most of the leading cast, with arguably the best shot belonging to Johnson and a weapon previously seen in the arms of a Terminator.
For this seventh instalment, a brand new director has been thrown into the mix to add a smidgen of zest to the franchise. Notorious horror auteur James Wan helms the flick, which picks up after the events of Fast & Furious 6, as the gang ward off the vengeful tactics of Owen Shaw’s brother, played by action stalwart Jason Statham.
Furious 7 peels into theaters on April 3rd.
Continuing the global exploits in the unstoppable franchise built on speed, Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson lead the returning cast of Furious 7. James Wan directs this chapter of the hugely successful series that also welcomes back favorites Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Elsa Pataky and Lucas Black. They are joined by international action stars new to the franchise including Jason Statham, Djimon Hounsou, Tony Jaa, Ronda Rousey and Kurt Russell. Neal H. Moritz, Vin Diesel and Michael Fottrell return to produce the film written by Chris Morgan.
