The week-long wait is finally over! After making the announcement seven days ago, Universal Pictures has released the trailer for Furious 7, offering our first look at footage from this highly-anticipated action-thriller.

James Wan takes over in the director's chair for Justin Lin, who brought the Fast & Furious franchise to new heights by directing the last four installments, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Fast & Furious, Fast Five and Fast & Furious 6.

The ensemble cast is back with Vin Diesel (Dominic Toretto), Dwayne Johnson (Agent Hobbs), Michelle Rodriguez (Letty Ortiz), Jordana Brewster (Mia Toretto), Ludacris (Tej Parker) and Tyrese Gibson (Roman Pierce) all returning, with the late Paul Walker starring in his final appearance as Brian O'Connor. Lucas Black also returns as his The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift character Sean Boswell, along with new cast members such as Djimon Hounsou, Tony Jaa, Game of Thrones star Nathalie Emmanuel and Jason Statham, who plays the villainous Ian Shaw, brother of Fast & Furious 6's Owen Shaw (Luke Evans).
