The final trailer forHobbs & Shawis here and it’s insane. The summer has been a bit quiet at the box office, but Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham are about to change all of that come August. Along for the ride in theFast and Furiousspin-off is Idris Elba, who is playing the villain this time around, and he is not messing around. The latest look at the action thriller packs in a bunch of new footage and makes sure fans who had any doubt about seeing the spin-off won’t have that feeling anymore.
Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham reprise their roles from theFast and Furious franchise, which has grossed over $5 billion worldwide, for the upcomingHobbs & Shaw. As Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw, they’re out to save the world from a new threat. But first, they’re going to have to get over working together. Ever since Hobbs, a loyal agent of America’s Diplomatic Security Service, and lawless outcast Shaw, a former British military elite operative, first faced off in 2015’sFurious 7, the duo have swapped smack talk and blows as they’ve tried to take each other down.
Funnily enough, it takes thecyber-genetically enhanced anarchist Brixton(Idris Elba) to bring the duo, and Hattie Shaw (Vanessa Kirby), together. Brixton has gained control of an insidious bio-threat that could alter humanity forever and he’s off to a good start. From the looks of things, Brixton is a formidable foe with quite the army there to back him up. Despite an epic motorcycle chase at the beginning of the latest trailer, Elba’s villain discovers Hobbs and Shaw are pretty tough themselves, which is when he decides to bring them war.
