Los Angeles:

 WWE wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne Johnson shared his first look from the upcoming “Fast and Furious 8” movie. The 44-year-old “San Andreas” star took to Instagram and Facebook to reveal the look of his character- DSS Agent Luke Hobbs.

The black-and-white photo shows Hobbs sporting a pointy goatee and a leather vest.

“When you strip a man of all he has. All that’s important to him. You force him to return to his roots and sometimes that’s a very dangerous and twisted place.

“If I was going to return for another FAST & FURIOUS I wanted to come in and disrupt the franchise in a cool way that got fans fired up and their blood pumping to see a new version of Hobbs and his “Daddy’s gotta go to work” mentality and set the table in a cool way for where the character goes in the future,” Johnson wrote in the caption.

The actor joined the “Fast and Furious” franchise in “Fast Five” and has since appeared in subsequent films “Fast and Furious 6” and “Furious 7”.

EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK: #HOBBS #F8 When you strip a man of all he has. All that's important to him. You force him to return to his roots.. and sometimes that's a very dangerous and twisted place. If I was going to return for another FAST & FURIOUS I wanted to come in and disrupt the franchise in a cool way that got fans fired up and their blood pumping to see a new version of Hobbs and his "Daddy's gotta go to work" mentality and set the table in a cool way for where the character goes in the future. Maybe it's a spinoff movie. Maybe it's more #FF movies. Or hell maybe Hobbs just gets on his motorcycle and rides off into the sunset never to be seen again. Either way, I've had a solid first week of shooting, good to be back with the ohana, good to work again w/ my bud and director F. Gary Gray and our home studio of UNIVERSAL, as always have been the best partners to me and my #SevenBucksProds team. Most importantly... you guys around the world will really dig this new version of the role, 'cause as we always say, disrupters dent the universe. #Hobbs #TwistedRoots #1Disrupter #1Savage #F8
