Photo: Kurt Russell On Fast 7 Set

Vin Diesel used his Facebook page to post the first photo of Kurt Russell working on the sequel Fast & Furious 7. Russell's role is the father of Chad Lindberg's Jesse from the first film. Jesse was shot in a drive-by shooting moments after pleading with Dominic to help protect him.

The 7th film will see Jason Statham's Ian Shaw character out for revenge against Dominic and Brian (Vin Diesel and Paul Walker).

Dwayne Johnson, Tyrese Gibson will be back in action as well. "The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift" star Lucas Black will reprise his role as Sean Boswell. Universal has plans for the character since Black has in fact signed on for Fast & Furious 8 and 9.

Mixed Martial Arts fighter Ronda Rousey and Thai martial arts superstar and Ong-bak star Tony Jaa will make his American film debut in the next installment of the action film franchise. Nathalie Emmanuel--who starred as Daenery's new servant Missandei in the recently wrapped season of Game of Thrones, plays a "significant" new member of  Diesel and Walker's team. Djimon Hounsou also stars.

Director James Wan is calling action using Chris Morgan's script.

Neal H. Moritz will produce

Production on the action sequel has begun in Atlanta to make a July 11, 2014 release.
