It should come as no surprise that Furious 8 is happening, given that Furious 7 is now the seventh highest-grossing film of all time, pulling in more than $1 billion at the box office in less than 30 days since its domestic release.
Latinos have always been a part of the franchise, from Eva Mendes’ undercover customs agent Monica Fuentes in the early films, to Michelle Rodriguez’s central Letty heroine — who seemingly died in Fast Five and was then resurrected for Fast & Furious 6 – to Jordana Brewster’s Mia and Elsa Pataky’s Elena. In the current installment, Romeo Santos makes a cameo as brother from another mother to Vin Diesel’s Dom character.

Prince Royce and J Balvin both have tracks on the chart-topping Furious 7 soundtrack, and past hits include Pitbull’s “Blanco” and “Bandoleros” by Tego Calderón and Don Omar, both of whom had bit parts as Dom’s associates in past films of the franchise.
