Johnson, aka The Rock, has released a video and number of pictures from the set of the new film depicting what is promised to be a ‘holy shit iconic’ sequence.

Fast 8 will see Johnson’s heroic character from the FF franchise, Hobbs, break out of prison. The sequence has apparently been in the works between Johnson, writer Chris Morgan and producer Hiram Garcia for years.

Dwayne Johnson, who is now the world’s highest paid actor, describes Hobbs as: ‘A man who lives by a code of ethics, but who will also rip your throat out and give it back to you just so you can apologize for pissin' him off.’

C’mon, that’s pretty awesome.

Check out the video and pictures shared from the set over the week here:

 

I know you guys can see it... I have so much damn FUN playin' the character of HOBBS. A man who lives by a code of ethics, but who will also rip your throat out and give it back to you just so you can apologize for pissin' him off. For years our #FastAndFurious writer Chris Morgan, our @sevenbucksprod's producer Hiram Garcia and myself would always talk about how insanely FUN FOR THE FANS a "Hobbs prison breakout" scene would be - wrecking every fool that's in his way. Well that day has come, which is why I'm completely iced in my veins and amped out of my f*cking mind in this vid and clearly in need of a horse tranquilizer. Let Toretto and his friends preach family and love... Not HOBBS. The Iceman cometh. And he don't fucketh around. #OnSet #Fast8 #Iceman
