"It's hard to put into words how excited I am for the next 'Fast &amp; Furious'. To me, the series is so much more than just a franchise. It's a legacy. These great actors who have been in it together for so long have become a family. I absolutely can't wait to join it," the "Suicide Squad" star wrote.
The actor went on to reveal some of the details about his character in the film. "Now I can't say too much, but I get to play a new character who operates under Kurt Russell in the movie, which is incredible, because Kurt was a total childhood hero of mine growing up. Very much looking forward to learning a thing or two from such an original and cool guy," he added.

He was an older brother to me. For me to be able to add to the F&amp;F story, Paul&iquest;s story, and the FAST family is like a dream come true," he added. Apart from Eastwood, actress Charlize Theron is also a new addition in the cast.
