The first trailer for Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw has been released and it looks like Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham make one hell of a team.
After eight movies, the Fast and Furious franchise is taking a turn onto a new road, and the first trailer for Hobbs and Shaw is putting Dwayne Johnson’s former Diplomatic Security Service agent Luke Hobbs and Jason Statham’s rogue mercenary Deckard Shaw in the driver’s seat. The pair has had a rocky relationship ever since Shaw first popped up in Furious 7, and their first meeting resulted in a fist fight and a hospitalization.
Hobbs and Shaw find the two reluctantly teaming up against a seemingly unstoppable baddie: Idris Elba’s Brixton. Along the way, they’ll cross paths with Shaw’s sister Hattie, played by The Crown alum Vanessa Kirby, and be forced to form an unlikely alliance. Their journey will take them from Shaw’s hometown of London to Samoa, where Hobbs’ family has roots — and will further underscore the differences between the two men.
Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw opens July 26
