A new trailer for Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw has dropped and it looks like perfectly over the top summer entertainment.
Dwayne Johnson’s Luke Hobbs and Jason Statham’s Deckard Shaw team up for director David Leitch (Deadpool 2, John Wick) for a script by Chris Morgan, the franchise’s screenwriting architect since Tokyo Drift. Also starring Vanessa Kirby as Deckard’s sister Hattie & Idris Elba as Brixton, the film’s flamethrower-wielding villain.
In the film, Ever since hulking lawman Hobbs (Johnson), a loyal agent of America’s Diplomatic Security Service, and lawless outcast Shaw (Statham), a former British military elite operative, first faced off in 2015’s Furious 7, the duo have swapped smack talk and body blows as they’ve tried to take each other down. But when cyber-genetically enhanced anarchist Brixton (Idris Elba) gains control of an insidious bio-threat that could alter humanity forever — and bests a brilliant and fearless rogue MI6 agent (The Crown‘s Vanessa Kirby), who just happens to be Shaw’s sister — these two sworn enemies will have to partner up to bring down the only guy who might be badder than themselves.
It all looks pretty insane but we’ve come to expect this from the Fast brand and if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw hits screens on August 2
