Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw The Rock

A new Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw trailer is online, featuring Jason Statham and the Rock taking on Idris Elba in some insane action sequences. You can check out the trailer below, which lets the over-the-top action setpieces largely speak for yourself. The trailer also features Vanessa Kirby kicking ass and WWE star Roman Reigns delivering a couple of the moves he’s known for doing in the ring. The David Leitch-directed Fast & Furious spinoff opens on August 2nd.

Ever since hulking lawman Luke Hobbs (Johnson), a loyal agent of America’s Diplomatic Security Service, and lawless outcast Dekard Shaw (Statham), a former British military elite operative, first faced off in 2015’s 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 (Elba) gains control of an insidious bio-threat that could alter humanity forever — and bests a brilliant and fearless rogue MI6 agent (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 badder than themselves.

Hobbs & Shaw blasts open a new door in the Fast universe as it hurtles action across the globe, from Los Angeles to London and from the toxic wasteland of Chernobyl to the lush beauty of Samoa.
