The main setting of the "Fast and Furious 8" may be in the United States, particularly in New York, but the big scenes will take place in Europe, according to reports.

Iceland Review reveals that the hit franchise is setting up a huge surprise for its newest movie and it will all happen in the little town of Akranes, Iceland. The report sources a Jalopnik update in stating that one of the biggest man-made explosions ever to have taken place in the European country will be staged for "Fast and Furious 8." An explosion unlike no other will reportedly be staged involving several heavily armored vehicles that the movie crew has shipped to the set in Iceland.

In January, Akranes Mayor Regína Ásvaldsdóttir confirmed with Visir (as per Iceland Review) that the big bosses behind the franchise have informed them of the scenes to be shot in their town. Most of it will reportedly be revolving around the harbor and the cement fields. The official revealed that one of the plans involved a huge flare-up, adding that the citizens could not wait to witness it.

Aside from Iceland, the filmmakers are purportedly setting their eyes on Cuba. Its exotic locales will be a great setting to a franchise that has featured Dubai and Rio in its past installments. The move is also said to cater to the avid Hispanic audience that the movie generates. Variety reports, however, that its source reiterated that everything is still in the exploratory stage.

"Universal Pictures is currently in the process of 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," the insider from Universal Studios said.

"Fast and Furious 8" is expected to be hit the cinemas on April 15, 2017.
