'Fast and Furious 8' star Michelle Rodriguez revealed that she would like to act alongside Angelina Jolie and wishes the famous A-lister to join the new cast for the upcoming film. Several replacements have been named to follow in the footsteps of the late Paul Walker.
According to Entertainment Online, Rodriguez admitted that she had several hopes for the eighth installment in the action franchise - one of which is having to co-star with Jolie saying that the actress is one who commands a powerful presence. She added, "The grand majority of the time in films, we're always fighting each other. I feel like it's time to evolve girls. Let's stop hitting each other and let's stop fighting each other, and let's start getting together and ganging up on people."
In another article by Yahoo! TV, the 37-year old actress explored the possibility of having the upcoming film set in New York City. She said that the city would provide a fresh take on the franchise with its reputation as a melting pot of cultures. She said, "There's so much to discover there -- motorcycle crews, everything from the Hells Angels' home -- you've got a lot you can play with in New York.
The new installment was previously reported as a tribute to fallen lead actor Paul Walker and loyal followers have been wondering if the series will somehow find anyone who can take his place, according to Movie News Guide. Kurt Russell has been tagged as one who could help ease the void left by the 40-year old main man as well as his real-life brother Cody Walker. Their involvement for 'Fast and Furious 8' was said to be highly beneficial and may contribute much to its continuing narrative.
