Joining Santos in the film will be Jason Statham, Kurt Russell, Diesel, Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, Lucas Black and the late Paul Walker.
The movie took a hiatus after Walker's death, but it will continue production and is set for an April 2015 release.
To replace Walker, his brothers will serve as body doubles in parts of the movie and creative camerawork will do the rest.
Santos is best known for his music. His most recent studio album "Formula, Vol. 2" was released earlier this year and it features collaborations with Drake, Nicki Minaj, Marc Anthony, Carlos Santana, Tego Calderon and Kevin Hart.
