‘Fast & The Furious 8’ Release Date, News & Update: Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Reveals First Look Of His Character

Dwayne Johnson gives his fans a glimpse of his character in the movie "Fast and the Furious 8" on his Instagram page on Saturday. Also known as The Rock, he introduces his role as DSS Agent Luke Hobbs accompanied with a lengthy message.

"When you strip a man of all he has. All that's important to him. You force him to return to his roots.. and sometimes that's a very dangerous and twisted place," Dwayne Johnson captions the snap. If I was going to return for another FAST & FURIOUS I wanted to come in and disrupt the franchise in a cool way that got fans fired up and their blood pumping to see a new version of Hobbs."

According to NDTV Movies, the black-and-white image reveals a rough looking Dwayne Johnson with quite a long goatee and wearing a leather vest. The "Scorpion King" star's muscle is in full display while standing in a field-like setting.

 EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK: #HOBBS #F8 When you strip a man of all he has. All that's important to him. You force him to return to his roots.. and sometimes that's a very dangerous and twisted place. If I was going to return for another FAST & FURIOUS I wanted to come in and disrupt the franchise in a cool way that got fans fired up and their blood pumping to see a new version of Hobbs and his "Daddy's gotta go to work" mentality and set the table in a cool way for where the character goes in the future. Maybe it's a spinoff movie. Maybe it's more #FF movies. Or hell maybe Hobbs just gets on his motorcycle and rides off into the sunset never to be seen again. Either way, I've had a solid first week of shooting, good to be back with the ohana, good to work again w/ my bud and director F. Gary Gray and our home studio of UNIVERSAL, as always have been the best partners to me and my #SevenBucksProds team. Most importantly... you guys around the world will really dig this new version of the role, 'cause as we always say, disrupters dent the universe. #Hobbs #TwistedRoots #1Disrupter #1Savage #F8

Dwayne Johnson puzzles his Instagram followers by adding that maybe the photo is taken after he rides a motorcycle and trying to escape or it might be a spinoff film.
