Vin Diesel may have already confirmed that Fast 8 will be set in New York but just like the seventh film in the franchise, an international trip will be thrown into the mix.

Local publication Iceland Review says that some scenes from the upcoming action flick will be filmed in the town of Akranes with the local mayor confirming that film crews will arrive in the small town in April.

While shooting in the country, the Fast 8 crew will apparently stage the largest ever explosion in Iceland, meaning we can expect just as many crazy stunts as previous Fast and Furious movies.

A reader at Jalopnik came across a number of military vehicles at docks in Portland which he believes are bound for filming in Iceland. They included two heavily armored Dodge pickup trucks and two custom Ripsaw’s produced for the United States Army by Howe & Howe Technologies.

Earlier in the month, it was confirmed that Fast 8 will be released on April 14, 2017. It will then be followed by the ninth film on April 19, 2019 before the then 20-year saga concludes on April 2, 2021 with Fast and Furious 10.
