The movie was one of the first major releases to get delayed in 2020 at the start of the global pandemic, with the original delay being a whole year, then it recently got delayed another couple of months to July 9th.
The new trailer is the usual Fast and Furious fare with fast cars and Vin Diesel looking moody the whole time.
We also get to see Helen Mirren behind the wheel and she looks as cool as Diesel doing so.
The story has the Fam really coming home for Diesel who's real brother come for payback in the shape of John Cena.
Justin Lin returns as the movies director but the movie may struggle to go over the Billion dollar mark this time in the wake of the global pandemic.
And the end of the trailer does strongly suggest that the series will go into space this time as the series enters the final frontier!
The movie has a July 9th UK release and a June 25th North American release.
This week Disney had a double dip on the UK box office with Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Muppets Most Wanted hitting at one and two.
Captain America, the latest from the Marvel Avengers (Avengers Assemble as it's called in the UK) universe of films, was by far and away the better grossing film taking £6 million. The film is a sequel to 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger which took £3 million on it's July debut.
Muppets Most Wanted is the follow up to 2012 The Muppets. That film took £2.6 million on it's debut, this one took a very similar £2.2 million.
New releases this week are: - Captain America: The Winter Soldier - Muppets Most Wanted - The Legend of Hercules - The Past - 20 Feet From Stardom
Also worth a mention is that after 2 weeks off the top 15, Frozen has returned at number 15.
This time last year The Croods held onto the top spot holding off G.I. Joe: Retaliation which entered at two.
Five years ago Nicolas Cage starred in the number one films Knowing which also debuted there nocking Marley and Me to number two.
Ten years ago The Passion of Christ stayed at the top keeping Dawn of the Dead at bay debuting at number two.
Fifteen years ago The Rugrats Movie took the number one spot on it's debut knocking Waking Ned Devine down to three with Payback entering at two.
