The Eighth Fast and the Furious Movie Will Be Called The Fate of the Furious, Obviously

Charlize Theron’s new villain, Cipher, is opposed to both fastness and furiosity.

The title of the eighth Fast and Furious movie has been announced, and it’s everything a person who loves sweet cars and terrible puns could hope for.

The trailer for The Fate of the Furious—yes!—won’t debut until Sunday, but the series’ official Twitter account shared a brief snippet that also served as the official announcement of the movie’s title, and it is glorious. Watch very closely to catch a brief glimpse of Charlize Theron’s new villain, Cipher.

Frankly, it’s a little disappointing that after Fast Five, Fast & Furious, and Furious 7 that the ampersand didn’t get its own spinoff franchise, but perhaps we’ll get an installment called FasTen a few years hence. Let us begin to dream.

Here’s a teaser trailer with no new footage, in which Vin Diesel calls it “our fastest and most furious adventure yet.” The word family is used.
