Opinion: Karl Urban Should Be In Fast and Furious 8


The eighth movie of the "Fast and Furious" franchise has been confirmed to be in the works. As of this writing, I have yet to see "Furious 7", but I believe actor Karl Urban needs to be in the next movie. It is a brilliant idea, even if my reasoning for it is kind of dumb.

In late 2013 throught early 2014, Urban starred in the T.V. show "Almost Human". Also on the show were Michael Ealy, Minka Kelly, and Michael Irby - three actors linked with the "Fast and Furious" franchise. Kelly was in "Turbo Charged Prelude", the short film that linked "The Fast and the Furious" and "2 Fast 2 Furious", Ealy was in "2 Fast 2 Furious", and Irby was in "Fast Five". Therefore I reason that it is time for series lead Karl Urban to be in a "Fast and Furious" movie.

Who could he play? He would be great as a villain, like he was in the movie "RED". And as an extra piece of reasoning for my theory, Urban will next be in the untitled "Star Trek" sequel which will be directed by Justin Lin, who was the director of the third through sixth "Fast and Furious" movies.
