Fast and Furious 8 is currently filming all over the world, and the latest country lucky enough to play host to its vehicular mayhem is Iceland. As such, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson - who will be returning as Luke 'Samoan Thor' Hobbs in the film - has taken to Instagram to post a new set photo along with a new nickname; 'The Iceman'.

Check it out below...

The Iceman cometh. And I don't fucketh around. #OnSet #FastAndFurious #F8 #Hobbs #Iceman

A photo posted by @therock on Jun 27, 2016 at 7:35pm PDT

Whether it's the one-liners or the bruising fistfights, Johnson's Hobbs has been a consistent highlight of the last three Fast & Furious films. It looks like the character will have much more screen time this time round too - scheduling issues meant Johnson's Furious 7 role was reduced - and I'm looking forward to seeing how and why Hobbs crosses paths with Toretto and co next year. Also, more team-ups like this please...
