Fast and Furious 8 plot — Vin Diesel's upcoming Fast And Furious sequel will be based on the streets of New York Vin Diesel/Universal Studios

Dwayne Johnson is serious about his role of agent Luke Hobbs in Fast And Furious 8. In one of his Instagram posts, he announced that he is wrapping up filming his parts in the movie Baywatch and is preparing for the transition from Mitch Buchannon to the DSS agent.

"Fun transition begins. Final weeks of shooting Baywatch, and today I start my preparations for Fast and Furious 8 which I start shooting in 4 weeks. Physically for Baywatch I wanted "Mitch Buchannon" to come in lean, mean and a dysfunctional superhero of the beach. And full of raunchy Rated R humor. Mission accomplished," he wrote the caption for an Instagram image of his diet that he shared.

The Rock also teased that his character will be mean and lethal in the eighth instalment of the race action franchise produced by Universal Studios. He will begin filming his parts in four weeks.

"For Fast 8, the character of "Hobbs" will come in like an animal — bigger, lethal, meaner and tougher than a $2 dollar steak," his picture caption continued whether the 43-year-old actor offered an insight into his diet for the movie that consists of steaks, fried eggs, and Cream of Wheat.

For FAST8, the character of "Hobbs" will come in like an animal - bigger, lethal, meaner and tougher than a $2 dollar steak. 530am breakfast. Grass fed buffalo, whole eggs and 80grams of Cream of Wheat. (trust me, if I could cook up Vin, Statham and the rest of the Fast dudes I'd eat them too). This is gonna fun. #FF8Prep #HobbsTheBeast #FinelyTuned #2DollarSteakSucksButEadible #INeedACheatMeal

Meanwhile, the filming of the highly anticipated movie has reportedly started in Cuba. A local new agency, Cuba Headlines, reported that producers, actors, and the crew members have reached Havana without making any noise about the movie shoot. It also claims that Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez were spotted at the airport.

Rodriguez has already confirmed her arrival in Cuba and how she is loving the people and warm culture there.

I love the people here such a warm culture full of life n good vibes... Kind of hoping they keep this amazing energy forever, it's so cool to see how creative everyone is, how the culture loves their elders, people seem to live long lives here, I feel so many cultures are so self obsessed many forget their elderly & consider them a burden, here in Cuba there is a respect & a love for the elderly I envy that about the culture. That kind of respect & love is a beautiful thing, especially in an era where most cultures see only the mistakes & dogma of past generations instead of the lessons learned from those who paved the way. Respect
