Cast your minds back to last summer. It was a simpler time, for sure, but it was also the time of Fast and Furious 8's Vin Diesel and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's would-be feud.

(We say 'would-be' because we're still none the wiser as to whether it actually happened.)

Whether you're a firm believer in the beef or not, it was still quite exciting to imagine two of action's most prolific figureheads battling it out behind the scenes - as well as in front of them.

And now the battle between Vin and The Rock continues (at least in the film anyway), as we see in The Fate of the Furious' brand new poster.

The latest promo image for the movie was shared on Facebook alongside the caption: "Never give up on Family. #F8."

Luckily for us, any on-screen fighting between the two will be drawn out for as long as possible, as last week it was reported that the running time of the franchise's latest instalment comes in at 160 minutes.

That means Vin v The Rock will be 10 minutes longer than Batman v Superman, by the way.

And if news of the film's length isn't exactly revving your engine, worry not - because Dame Helen Mirren will be on hand to make it all better.

Although the details of her role remain a bit of a mystery, Luke Evans (who plays Owen Shaw) revealed earlier this month that Helen will play his and Jason Statham's mother. Lucky them!
