You'd be forgiven for thinking that Fast 8 is a movie about Dwayne Johnson's character. Flooding social media with pics of his lawman, Luke Hobbs, like he's taking over the online campaigning, which is no mean feat considering Vin Diesel's reputation. It's to be expected however, as Johnson's badass enforcer is getting much more screentime in the upcoming film compared to Furious 7. And we've now got a new glimpse at what's in store for "The Iceman" in this latest snap: 

The Iceman cometh. And don't fucketh around. #OnSet #FastAndFurious8 #OrangeAintTheNewBlack #HobbsTheIceman APRIL 2017.

A photo posted by @therock on Jul 11, 2016 at 8:14am PDT

Yep, that's Hobbs decked out in prison scrubs. It's certainly a surprise to see him in the slammer, as he's always remained on the other side of the bars as a straight-shootin' federal agent. But hey, Brian O'Conner changed alliances, so why can't Hobbs?  

The image is just one of several teases Johnson has posted over the last few months. Most of the captions have alluded to a change for Hobbs, potentially revealing a dark side to him, or a secret from his past. Then again, it could be that he's simply undercover. I'm intrigued either way; as long as we get more one-liners and the types of stunts that'd make a normal person require serious medical attention.
