Lucas Black Back for 'Fast & Furious 7' And Beyond

I'll be damn.

The star of The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Lucas Black, has signed on to reprise his role of Sean Boswell in not only Fast & Furious 7 but also the 8th and 9th installments as well.  His deal apparently calls for his character to become a series regular.

If you've seen the post-credits scene in Fast & Furious 6, you kind of figured this was going to happen, but it still doesn't change the fact that Black starred in the series almost a decade ago when he was playing a teenage character and will now return at near 31 years-old (but I guess that's what movie magic is for).

The 7th installment in the franchise just began filming last week under the helm of James Wan (Insidious films, The Conjouring, Saw) and will star series regulars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, and Chris Bridges, as well as newcomers Jason Statham, Tony Jaa, Rhona Rousey, Djimon Honsou, and Kurt Russell.

Fast & Furious 7 opens July 11th, 2014.
