It’s an unwritten (or maybe written) rule that every spinoff has to have heavy nods to the series or movie from whence it came. Jason Statham and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson wasted no time checking that box by driving a
beneath a semi truck box in the first trailer for “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw
.”
Sound familiar?
The stunt, seen at about the 1:28 mark, is a direct callback to the original “The
,” in which the team drives a
under a semi while boosting goods. The first film debuted in 2001, and 18 years later, much has changed.
In a unique direction, the Fast franchise is branching off into a spinoff that focuses on two former bad guys,
as Luke Hobbs and Statham as Deckard Shaw. In the new movie, Hobbs and Shaw are brought together to work on the same team in order to defeat the new villain played by Idris Elba. Brixton, as he’s called, is a “human evolutionary change,” AKA a tech-infused invincible superspecimen. As one would expect, Hobbs and Shaw are expected to save the world from his threatening plot.
Rather than a trailer filled with dozens of high-end recognizable cars, this one is mostly filled with the wild stunt cars the series has used more and more often. The
is the most noticeable automobile cameo, with several
and
also making appearances.
Further building the story, The Rock teased a separate part of the film on his Instagram. In the photo, he’s at Hobbs Customs, a chop shop turned legal garage owned by the Hobbs Bros. Surely this will make for some major car scenes throughout the film.
In other Fast news, The Rock
said at a Sundance festival interview
that he likely wouldn’t be in “Fast and Furious 9” but could return for the 10th installment. Vin Diesel also made headlines via Instagram when he spoke on the upcoming
female-focused “Fast and Furious” film
, the second of three total spinoffs.
“Hobbs & Shaw “will hit theaters this summer on August 2.
