News of Gray's hiring was leaked by franchise star Vin Diesel. That puts end to conflicting rumors that Diesel himself wanted to direct the film.

It had been previously reported that Justin Lin and James Wan both passed on a chance to direct the latest edition of the top grossing Fast & Furious franchise.

Diesel also recently announced that the Fast & Furious series will end with "one last trilogy".

The next film is expected to be set in New York, with Jason Statham likely to return as the international assassin Deckard Shaw.
