The Wheels On The Franchise Go Round And Round; Fast & Furious 7 Gets A Trailer

Similar to the films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the most recent entries in the Fast & Furious saga derive much of their success from engaging characters. While I'd easily few, if any, of these protagonists have had an arc comparable to the likes of Tony Stark (I couldn't tell you what the names of characters played by Ludacris and Tyrese Gibson off the top of my head), but like those superheroes, the cast have an excellent chemistry that makes adventures seen in Fast Five and Furious Six super enjoyable.
Now, the first trailer for their seventh adventure, Furious Seven, has dropped. Check it out below!

Franchise newcomer James Wan (who previously directed Saw, The Conjuring and the first two Insidious films) seems to be handling himself as director of this film very well, as the action doesn't look to have missed a beat from past movies. Jason Statham also looks to be an exciting baddie, and some hand-to-hand combat we see him partaking in looks exhilarating. But it's those characters I talked about earlier that really make this thing click. Everyone, from Michelle Rodriguez to the late Paul Walker, looks to be having a blast. At this point, this groups got such a good dynamic, you truly believe Toretto (Vin Diesel) when he says at the end how he doesn't have friends...only family.

Hell yeah. Sign me up for this one!
