Dwayne Johnson announces that Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw has wrapped and finished filming in a serious of Instagram posts.
“Hey, guys I just want to thank your so much for making Hobbs & Shaw so special,” Johnson said in video two days ago. “We’ve all put in months and months and months of work for this top happen, but it’s a very, very special project for a lot of us. Me specifically, it’s more than a movie, it’s an oppurtunity for us to not only grown and expand the franchise, but also showcase a culture that is also very important to us here on the Island. For us to showcase this to the world this Summer means so much. So from the bottom of my heart, I want to thank all of you guys. Thanks you so much. I love you all.”
Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw has an August 2, 2019 release directed by David Leitch; written by Chris Morgan; produced by Morgan, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Hiram Garcia; executive produced by Dany Garcia, Kelly McCormick, Steven Chasman, Ethan Smith, Ainsley Davies; starring Johnson, Jason Statham, Idris Elba, Vanessa Kirby, and Helen Mirren.
After eight films that have amassed almost $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 Presents: 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 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 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.
