Over the course of 14 years and 7 movies, the “Fast and Furious” franchise has taken Vin Diesel‘s Dom and his street racing crew to some of the most exotic and exciting locations in the world.

The places that have turned up in the film series include Los Angeles, Miami, Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro, and Abu Dhabi. Since the 8th film is currently in development, the crew is bound to visit some new locations.

In a report by Variety, Universal Pictures is in the midst of gaining permission to shoot a scene for the upcoming “Furious 8” in Cuba.

This is also confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter as sources told the trade that “Straight Outta Compton” director F. Gary Gray, who is on board to helm the new “Furious” movie, recently returned from a location scouting trip that included Cuba.

In a statement, Universal said:

Universal Pictures is currently in the process seeking approval from the United States and Cuban governments to explore shooting a portion of the next installment of the Fast & Furious series in Cuba.

Sources also told THR that the production has moved forward with the paperwork to shoot there, making “Furious 8” the first major Hollywood studio film to shoot on the island after the US embargo was lifted in late 2014.
