With the first trailer for Fast & Furious 8 imminent, details on the franchise's next instalment are starting to ride in.

Most importantly, the film has a brand new title for US audiences - and it's as clunky as you'd hope from a series as bold as this one.

It's The Fate of the Furious. Naturally, fans are loving it.

One user based at IGN, however, noted that marketing producers missed a trick.

Production began on the latest film - the first of a final trilogy - this summer with Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Tyrese Gibson all returning for what is most likely going to be more of the entertaining same. New additions include Charlize Theron, Scott Eastwood and, yes, Helen Mirren.
