Furious 7 debuts April 3.

The film follows Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and Brian O’Connor (Paul Walker) as they face a new villain played by the rock-faced Jason Statham. In addition to series regulars Michelle Rodriguez and Dwayne Johnson, the movie includes new faces like Kurt Russell, UFC Champion Ronda Rousey, and rapper Iggy Azalea.

Walker’s untimely death in November 2013 slowed production, leading to his brothers Caleb and Cody serving as stand-in for the conclusion of filming.
