One day, the entire interweb will just be Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel's social media feeds, having achieved sentience and warring for control of our technology. Until the day we must welcome our new muscled overlords, enjoy a new image of Johnson's character Luke Hobbs from Fast 8, which The Rock posted to his Instagram page.

From the looks of everything we've seen so far of Hobbs in the new movie, he's set to go through something of a trying time, which is saying a lot given the injury he received in the last movie. There was that initial image of him with a scraggly goatee and unflattering vest, so perhaps he's simply going undercover to investigate something and it'll all end up with everyone clinking Coronas and sitting near cars at the end.

Fast 8 finds Diesel's Dom and the gang going up against the machinations of villain Cypher (Charlize Theron) as they're drawn deeper into the criminal underground first hinted at by the Shaw brothers (Jason Statham's Deckard is back) and the mysterious Federal type played by Kurt Russell.

With F. Gary Gray on directing duties, Fast 8 will be out in the UK on April 14.
