On the other hand, during a chat with E! News at the Harper’s Bazaar Icon Party, Michelle shared some details about the upcoming eighth movie in The Fast and the Furious series. She eagerly mentioned that they are in the process of gathering the team to start filming next summer. Michelle expressed her excitement about working on the new sequel, seeing it as a way to move forward after the loss of Paul Walker in a tragic accident back in 2013.
In a laid-back fashion, the actress sported a skintight tank top, loose blouse, black trousers, and leather sandals.

On another note, Vinn Diesel, Michelle’s co-star, dropped some hints about Fast 8, affectionately calling it ‘F8 – aka Fate,’ during the MTV Movie Awards.
He mentioned that Paul Walker used to mention that the 8th film was a sure thing and, in a way, when your brother guarantees something, you have to make sure it happens. So if fate has its way – fate, F8 – then it’s happening. Paul Walker was honored in Furious 7, and Fast 8 is a tribute from him.
Mark your calendars for April 2017 for the release of the eighth installment.
