Fast and Furious presents Hobbs and Shaw is a spectacular action film while at the same time being a buddy film in which the genetically enhanced supervillain Brixton played by Idris Elba is as attractive as its two heroes Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Jason Statham. Hobbs and Shaw opens wide on August 1, 2019.

Following in the tradition of The Fast and Furious multi-ethnic casting, Hobbs and Shaw enhance the mold even further by bringing together three of the most attractive and charismatic leading men and action stars in films today. 

After eight films that have amassed more than 5 billion dollars worldwide, Fast and Furious presents Hobbs and Shaw as the first stand-alone film in the franchise. Hobbs and Shaw follow Johnson as Diplomatic Security Agent Luke Hobbs and Statham as Operative Deckard Shaw who has crossed paths previously in the Fast and Furious Franchise. Johnson first appeared as Hobbs in 2011’s Fast Five and has appeared in every Fast and Furious movie since.

Eiza Gonzalez has a major kick-ass role as the mysterious Madam M in the film. Gonzalez has been on a major upward trajectory since she received serious notice in the hit film Baby Driver. In a recent interview in HOLA magazine, Gonzalez remarked that Salma Hayek was her role model and that like Salma she wanted to produce and direct sometime in the future. 

The movie also stars Helen Mirren, Vanessa Kirby and WWME Star Roman  as Hobb’s Samoan brother.  Johnson is in real life actually half African-American and half Samoan and showcases his Samoan cultural background in the film in scenes filmed on Kauai, Hawaii.

Johnson produced Fast and Furious presents Hobbs and Shaw alongside Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia through his Seven Bucks Productions.  Hobbs and Shaw hits theatres on August 2^nd released by Universal Pictures.
