First Look At ‘Hobbs & Shaw’ Reveals The Rock & Jason Statham Battle Ready

Entertainment Weekly has revealed the first official still from the upcoming Fast & Furious spinoff film, Hobbs & Shaw. The new still showcases Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Jason Statham as the titular duo as they are side-by-side as they are ready to kick some ass.

You can check out the new still down below:

The Rock made his debut in the Fast & Furious franchise when he appeared in Fast Five. He has since reprised his role in Fast & Furious 6, Furious 7 and The Fate of the Furious. Jason Statham made his debut in the franchise during the post-credits scene for Fast & Furious 6, where it is revealed that he is the one who kills poor Han (Sung Kang) in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. He then appears prominently in both Furious 7 and The Fate of the Furious. 

Many agree that one of, if not the biggest action highlight of The Fate of the Furious was the prison scene in which Hobbs & Shaw start a massive brawl among prisoners. That scene along with other moments throughout the film showcased the two action stars have impressive chemistry that would bode well for this spinoff film.

Plot details remain under wraps but the spin-off will feature an unlikely team-up between Johnson’s Hobbs and Statham’s Shaw after the franchise breakouts discovered an undeniable chemistry in the eighth film of the main series, The Fate of the Furious.

Hobbs & Shaw is being directed by David Leitch (Deadpool 2) from a script written by franchise veteran Chris Morgan. Original Film’s Neal H. Moritz and Seven Bucks Productions’ Hiram Garcia are producing the film.

“A spinoff of The Fate of the Furious, focusing on Johnson’s US Diplomatic Security Agent Luke Hobbs forming an unlikely alliance with Statham’s Deckard Shaw.”

The film stars Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Vanessa Kirby, Eddie Marsan, Eiza Gonzalez and Idris Elba.

Hobbs & Shaw will hit theaters August 2, 2019.
