'Fast 8' news, plot spoilers: 'Horrible' fate awaits Vin Diesel's character

There have been a number of actors being confirmed to play a significant role in upcoming action racing-themed film, "Fast 8." A-list Hollywood actress Charlize Theron has been confirmed to play the upcoming "Furious" sequel's main villainess, and just recently, a "Game of Thrones" star is revealed to play one of the actress' big bad guys in the movie.

A new addition to the ever-growing cast of "Fast 8" is Kristofer Hivju, who also plays the role of Tormund Giantsbane in the hit HBO fantasy series. In a recent interview with the actor, he could not help but spill some information about the eighth installment of the successful "Fast and Furious" movie franchise. In fact, he revealed an interesting tidbit in the script involving the character of Vin Diesel. Diesel plays one of the lead characters of the film series, Dominic Toretto.

Hivju's interview with Yahoo Movies teased that his character in the movie will be responsible in making Dominic Toretto's life "horrible." As a henchman of Theron's evil character, Cipher, he is expected to follow the villainess' orders and make sure that all of them will be implemented well, even if it means to make the protagonists' life a living hell. The actor also revealed that his character might get involved in one of two high-speed car chase scenes in the movie, something that the franchise has been known for.

While Hivju may have been generous in giving out details about the upcoming sequel, he was still very careful in not spoiling the significant part of the movie's plot. He admitted that he is a big fan of the huge "Fast and Furious" franchise and he grew up watching the lead stars in all seven movies. The Norwegian actor was signed as a cast member of "Fast 8" last April.

Meanwhile, veteran actress Helen Mirren also confirmed her involvement in "Fast 8" in a recent interview with Elle.

"I'm about to do Fast and Furious 8," said Mirren. "I've always rather loved driving. I said, 'I'll be in it, but only if I'm allowed to drive if I do drive in it...' I love big, fun movies, as long as they're well made and they've got good scripts. That's the most important thing."
