Forget everything you know about "The Fast And Furious" franchise because the latest installment looks next level.

The first official trailer for "The Fate of the Furious" — the franchise's eighth installation — has dropped, and there are more explosions, firepower and sexy cars than all the other seven movies put together.

Here's what we know so far.

The full teamsheet includes Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Helen Mirren, Nathalie Emmanuel, Elsa Pataky, Scott Eastwood with Kurt Russell and Charlize Theron.

So the guys have retired from the game and are trying to piece together the closest thing they can to a normal life.

But circumstances change, and the introduction of a mystery woman described as a "terrorist" sends the team on gnarly missions around the world.

They'll face challenges that dice with death over and over.

How?

The same way they always do: with a lot of fire...

The full-length trailer appeared on YouTube last night. The description reads,

On the heels of 2015's Fast & Furious 7, one of the fastest movies to reach $1 billion worldwide in box-office history and the sixth-biggest global title of all time, comes the newest chapter in one of the most popular and enduring motion-picture serials of all time: Fast & Furious 8. Now that Dom and Letty are on their honeymoon and Brian and Mia have retired from the game—and the rest of the crew has been exonerated—the globetrotting team has found a semblance of a normal life. But when a mysterious woman (Oscar® winner Charlize Theron) seduces Dom into the world of crime he can't seem to escape and a betrayal of those closest to him, they will face trials that will test them as never before. From the shores of Cuba and the streets of New York City to the icy plains off the arctic Barents Sea, our elite force will crisscross the globe to stop an anarchist from unleashing chaos on the world's stage…and to bring home the man who made them a family.
