After some
speculation, Straight Outta Compton director F. Gary Gray has confirmed that he
has signed on to helm the eighth installment in Universal's Fast & Furious
franchise.

We, the trades,
recently put the director in the middle of a little tug of war between
Universal and Marvel, between Fast & Furious and Black Panther, but more
recent reports cleared things up as Marvel apparently wants to first, finish
the script for their King before tapping someone to direct the project.
As for his "credibility"
in the action genre, Gray has some. Back in 2003, after directing Vin Diesel in
A Man Apart, Gray saw his remake of The Italian Job get mostly positive
reviews.
