CLEVELAND, Ohio — Blink and you’ll miss Cleveland in the latest footage from “The Fate of the Furious.”
The city, doubling for New York, appeared twice in a commercial for the eighth movie in the “Fast and Furious” series that aired during the Super Bowl.
Around the :15 second mark, we see a truck speeding down E. 6th Street with a nameless villain shooting a machine gun at oncoming traffic in a scene that also appeared in the the first trailer released in December.
At the :41 second mark, we finally get a glimpse of the huge stunt filmed downtown last May as several cars are launched from the Halle parking garage and dropped down to the street below in a fiery explosion.
The rest of the spot sets up the premise of the film: Charlize Theron’s character has somehow lured franchise hero Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) to turn on his friends, forcing the group, now led by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s Hobbs, to join forces with former villain Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) to stop them from doing ambiguously nefarious things.
Got all that?
“The Fate of the Furious” drives into theaters on April 14.
