Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw
After eight films that have amassed almost USD 5 billion worldwide, the Fast & Furious franchise now features its first stand-alone vehicle as Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham reprise their roles as Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw in Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw.
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 Fast & 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 worse than themselves.
The trailer highlights bromance between Dwayne Johnson's Luke Hobbs and Jason Statham's Deckard Shaw and also shows a glimpse of Idris Elba's character Brixton. Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw trailer also takes us to the green lands of Hawaii, Hobbs' home and introduces us to his brothers. In the new action-packed trailer, Vanessa Kirby aka Hattie Shaw is seen fighting the bad boys.
