Just two days ago, the first official trailer for "Furious 7" was released and everyone got pumped for what might be the final ride of the movie franchise. But while the trailer was intense, the panel at the trailer debut got pretty emotional.
The cast gathered at the Universal Studios in Hollywood to debut the "Furious 7" trailer, but aside from the trailer, it was no surprise that Paul Walker's passing was also discussed. The interview with the cast showed a lot of heart and emotion, starting with Vin Diesel describing Walker as "a special angel."
Tyrese Gibson expressed that even when the world was mourning, no one knew Paul as much as them, saying, "... we did whatever we had to do as a family to like, rebuild each other and have the conversation that only we could have, to help us to get through that very rough patch."
It was always obvious that the cast of the movie treat each other as family.
Diesel said, "All the differences of skin tone and language go out the window... All you see is family..."
Moving forward from the emotional talk, the cast dove right ahead into the trailer. Michelle Rodriguez described it as "cargasm" while Diesel said that it was the best trailer he has seen. So, what did the cast have to say about their new enemy Ian Shaw played by Jason Statham?
"He's incredible," Diesel said. "The amount of work that we did for our third act fight sequence, I was just so happy that he was just so gung ho about it and so dedicated."
Gibson joked that Statham is a bully after working with him in "Death Race," and the British actor brings new energy into the movie franchise.
"I think Jason poured his accent a little heavy today. I see what you're doing, with all the ladies out here," he joked again.
"Furious 7" is slated for release on April 3, 2015.
