Let's face it. The Fast and the Furious franchise isn't going anywhere, any time soon. With the last film becoming one of the highest grossing movies of all time, this brand will see no end in the near future. 

For the last couple years, a spin off has been touted that would star Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham bringing back Hobbs and Shaw for a spinoff to the super successful film franchise. Now, it looks like another actor is being added to the flick that will definitely be a high dose of action and sneers. 

Idris Elba is in final negotiations to take on the role of the lead villain in the movie that's set to undoubtedly spawn even more high octane sequels.  Deadpool 2 director David Leitch is set to helm the project.
