Don’t tell Vin Diesel, but the new Fast and Furious spinoff already sounds a lot better than the last Fast and Furious movie. You’ve got The Rock, you’ve got Jason Statham, and you’ve got Idris Elba as the dang villain. Who needs fast cars when you’ve got these dudes to lead your blockbuster...
The artist occasionally known as The Rock has revealed the first photo from the set of his upcoming — and somewhat controversial, if your name is Vin or Tyrese — Fast & Furious spinoff, Hobbs and Shaw. The film, which seeks to capitalize on the chemistry between the two best (only good?) parts of The Fate of the Furious, has begun production under the direction of Deadpool 2’s David Leitch.
If yesterday didn’t make you feel especially patriotic, then maybe this news will remind you of the goodness in America’s heart: Idris Motherf—king Elba (that’s his legal name, I swear) has signed on to play the villain in Hobbs & Shaw, the upcoming Fast & Furious spinoff starring the only good parts of The Fate of the Furious (sorry, Charlize, but you get it).
