Interesting marketing plan to give away the whole movie in the first trailer.
from a youtube comment:
This is the same plot as transformers the last knight.

Not at all. The whole marketing including the first poster revolves around Dom going rogue. The true plot part they need to keep a mystery is WHY he does it. It has to be a damn good reason for him to betray his family in such a cold hearted manner.
lol its Fast 8, its not going to be a "damn good reason"

Given Dom's behavior in the trailer, it just REEKS of deep cover work. After all, they said a while ago that this was gonna be like a spy movie so having him play double-agent for Theron's character makes sense.
Obviously, Theron's possibly this very-hard to get at villain so the government has Dom infiltrate her group (without informing Letty and company) and pretend to go traitor in order to keep his cover! I've seen this scenario plenty of times! Besides, Vin Diesel wouldn't allow Dom to go bad for no reason. It'd be out of character for him after 7 movies and he knows this!
The weird thing is if he is undercover, why doesn't Mr. Nobody know about it? That seems like the sort of thing he would know about and set up. He's way way way up the espionage food chain. Yet he seems to think Dom has actually gone bad.
Granted it could just be the marketing making it appear that way and in the film Mr. Nobody does actually know Dom is undercover.
