'Fast & Furious 8' Cast News, Update: Kurt Russell Teases Involvement in Upcoming Sequel
While the recently-opened "Fast & Furious 7" has currently been enjoying a huge box office success, talks about a purported sequel are also trickling down in the rumor mill.
Actor Vin Diesel previously told Conan O'Brien in his TBS talk show that there is a "Furious 8" and that it will happen largely in New York.
Meanwhile, another talk show revelation made into the news and this time, it came from "Furious 7" collaborator Kurt Russell.

The actor, who plays the character named Mr. Nobody, recently sat with Jimmy Kimmel on his "Jimmy Kimmel Live" show to which he further hinted his possible reprisal as the leader of a covert ops team.
"I got an idea, a sense of what Vin maybe wants to do in the future that this character could be a good part of," he said.
"We created somebody that I think is, you know, he's a mystery man, he's 'Mr. Nobody' we never know his name and you never know quite what world he's in and I think that's what's fun and exciting about it," the actor continued. "If they do more and if it goes on, we'll try to do something to top this, which I'll tell you is going to be pretty hard to do."
This isn't the only time that the "Stargate" star teased the possibility of Mr. Nobody's return in the upcoming film.
In an interview with IGN, he said that his character "has been purposely been treated in a certain way so that he can or can't" come back.
"The 'can' will be an interesting stretch. It works, because I understand what it is and we came up with it. It's like, 'Oh, wow! That's cool!' If he doesn't, then he doesn't. If he gets killed, he gets killed. That will be for them to determine," he said. "I just wanted to be able to work with them making the best possible character to either be sad he doesn't move on or say, 'Yeah, I want this character to move on -- we need this character to move on.' That sort of thing. I don't know what the situation, with Paul dying, does to that. I don't know."
