Here's The First 'Hobbs & Shaw' F&F Spinoff Trailer
It should come as no surprise that Hobbs & Shaw - the first Fast and Furious spin-off - is going to be rather silly. At least that’s how it looks in this first trailer.
The setup is standard action film fare. Idris Elba plays Brixton, who’s hell-bent on bringing the world to its knees with a stolen bio weapon. Oh, and did we mention he’s a supersoldier? Yep, we’re ticking all the boxes here, and that’s before we get to the solution proposed by The Powers That Be.
Apparently, the only way he can possibly be stopped is by sending in Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Jason Statham, aka Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw. Of course, they hate each other, so will end up working through their issues using manly banter until inevitably figuring out that they’re bros.
Keeping some sort of tenuous link with the Fast and Furious franchise, or at least the more recent films in the series, there is plenty of vehicular destruction, plus a sizeable role for the McLaren 720S. At one point it’ll have three people in it, which we really hope is supposed to be a clever reference to the old F1. Even if it probably isn’t.
Hobbs & Shaw will be released on 2 August.

It looks stupid but the good kind of stupid
Bruh what the hecc?
“rip-off”
From stealing dvd players in Hondas to super-cyborgish-human -bad Idris Elba and saving the world, how to bloody hell have things got so much out of hand?

It’s sounds like it will be the sharknado of f&f movies (as in it will probably be really dumb, but it’s the kind of dumb everyone likes)
Wow, that looks just bad
Ffs just make the next REAL Fast and Furious movie instead
At this pace, Fast and Furious 12 will star Elon Musk and a mission to mars to save the Earth from an alien invasion. 🤷♂️
That’s probably just going to be Fast 9. Coming next year.
I’m going to assume that it has no relationship with the Fast and Furious saga and then I’ll enjoy it. It is going to be a great action movie by thinking about it that way!
No matter what the producers and scriptwriters say, I consider Fast Five as the last movie in this franchise. At the end all the main characters got rich and were living a happy and careless life.
Everything that happens in the next movies, are Dominic’s hallucinations after he smoked some grade-A weed with uncle Snoop.
