Fast & Furious 8 has been shooting for quite a while now, and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has already given us a tease of what Hobbs will be up to when we see him in cinemas next summer. The actor took to his Instagram once again recently to share a couple more videos from the set, and you can check them out below...

4am, we're all exhausted and I've been trapped in some wreckage for hours.. but I can always rely on our hard workin' crew to deliver the zingers.. #MONEY #ThatsWhyWeLuvCliff #OnSet #Fast8 #HardWorkinCrew #AndTheFaceOfHollywood 😂💪🏾🏆

The videos don't give us many clues as to the story of Fast 8, but it's fun to watch The Rock being his charismatic self behind-the-scenes. It's clear that he's having a blast filming this one, and with any luck that enthusiasm will bleed into the film itself. Until then, I guess we'll just have to make do with more set updates (which is fine by me). 

Directed by F. Gary Gray and starring Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Charlize Theron, Kurt Russell, Michelle Rodriguez, Helen Mirren, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, and Jason Statham, Fast and Furious 8 is due to open in the US and UK on April 14, 2017.
