Report: Eva Mendes A Key Part Of Furious 8

What can be said about “Furious 8”?  Well, we know that the release date is April 14, 2017.  We know The Rock will return and we know Jason Statham will return.

Now, according to 411Mania, another returnee is Eva Mendes.

The upcoming entry is centered around Eva Mendes’ character of Monica Fuentes. Monica made her first appearance in 2 Fast 2 Furious, where she was a U.S. Customs agent working undercover to take down Cole Houser’s villainous drug lord Carter Verone. She returned in a post-credits scene in Fast Five, where the Rock’s Luke Hobbs revealed that Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) was still alive. Letty and Hobbs have been major parts of the last two films, though Monica has yet to return until now.

The eighth movie will supposedly be set in and around New York.  At this point Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez and Tyrese Gibson are also set to reprise their roles in the upcoming film.
