It might be a spinoff but that doesn’t mean it’s lost in touch in terms of explosive, over-the-top action. The new trailer for Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw gives us the same high-octane, excessive action we know the Fast & Furious franchise to have. And we see more of the love-to-hate relationship between our two leads Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) as they pursue genetically-enhanced baddie Brixton (Idris Elba). Brixton is in pursuit of Shaw’s sister, Hattie (Vanessa Kirby), who has in her possession a deadly virus that can wipe out half of the population and he wants said virus back. The trailer gives us a peek at what lengths he goes to so he can get what he wants.
Hobbs & Shaw is directed by David Leitch (Deadpool 2) and written by Chris Morgan. The movie is produced by Morgan, Johnson, Statham, and Hiram Garcia, and executive produced by Dany Garcia, Kelly McCormick, Steven Chasman, Ethan Smith, and Ainsley Davies. It’s expected to hit theatres on August 2, 2019.
