It was only a matter of time before a sequel was announced for the successful Hobbs & Shaw. Screen Rant first reported that Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham have finalized early sequel plans while responding to his fans on a recent Instagram Live Q&A. Johnson stated, “We are developing now the next film, the next [Hobbs & Shaw] movie, and I’m pretty excited about it. [We] just gotta figure out the creative right now, and the direction we’re going to go.”
It’s no surprise that there is a sequel in development as Hobbs & Shaw managed to race up to an impressive $759 million worldwide on a reported budget of $200 million. No word on when production for the sequel will begin.
