Hobbs & Shaw Trailer

David Leitch‘s Hobbs & Shaw (2019) movie trailer stars Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Idris Elba, Vanessa Kirby, and Eiza Gonzalez. Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw‘s plot synopsis: “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 (Dwayne Johnson), a loyal agent of America’s Diplomatic Security Service, and lawless outcast Shaw (Jason 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 (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.”

I can’t believe that of all the types of villains that they could have placed in this film, they actually put into the film a comicbook-like supervillain. The Fast and the Furious film franchise has gotten more and more preposterous but this film shows that they have no more car theft or car-centric stories to tell so now they have to branch out into other genres. In Hobbs & Shaw case, superhero and supervillain films are that genre. While watching Brixton (Idris Elba) do his thing in this trailer, it’s like a Neo-viper from G.I. Joe was given his own film to be the villain in.

Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw also stars Helen Mirren, Eddie Marsan, Cliff Curtis, Roman Reigns, John Tui, and Josh Mauga.
