The Fast and the Furious: Hobbs and Shaw

[Sawyer]

‘Deadpool 2’s’ David Leitch the Frontrunner to Direct ‘Fast and Furious’ Spinoff

I just screamed.

SCREAMED, I tell you!




Yes, this was a bump. No, I'm not sorry.

 

[Symbiotic]

I honestly thought this was gonna get scrapped due to Dwayne’s other projects. But if it happens, I’m there on premiere night.

 

[samsnee]

This is his biggest franchise next to Jumanji now I guess. No way he doesn’t come back for his own spin-off.

 

[Silvermoth]

He should do a crossover then, reveal all the characters in the fast and the furious franchise are just avatars of nerdy kids

"I'm not quite sure. Right now, I'm concentrating on making the spinoff [Hobbs And Shaw] as good as it can be. But I wish him all the best, and I harbour no ill will there, just because of the clarity we have." Adding cheekily, "Actually, you can erase that last part about 'no ill will.' We'll just keep it with the clarit

Sounds like Hobbs and Shaw will happen but maybe not another all in fast and the furious. Oh well. It sounds like such a terrible feud!

Leitch Confirmed

 

[The Chris]

Looking more forward to this than FF9. At least we know the action will be great. Leitch sure is getting gigs quick isn't he?

 

[terry78]

This **** is gonna be nuts.

Looking more forward to this than FF9. At least we know the action will be great. Leitch sure is getting gigs quick isn't he?

And Gibson won't be in this which automatically makes this better than FF9.

 

[Silvermoth]

Perfect choice. Can’t wait for more! I wonder if we’ll see new characters?

Jason Statham says Fast & Furious spin-off will be 'brimming' with action and humor

 

[Silvermoth]

I should hope so!

I wonder if they will have a sly nod to the audience and include a gag about the rock/vin feud?

 

[AlcoonSlambag]

I'm more interested in this than another F&F with Vin Diesel walking around with one facial expression while mumbling about 'family.'

 

[StarLord]

 

[samsnee]

I expect the action to be better since they won’t be confined to cars.

‘The Crown’s’ Vanessa Kirby Joins Dwayne Johnson in ‘Fast and Furious’ Spinoff
https://variety.com/2018/film/news/vanessa-kirby-dwayne-johnson-fast-and-furious-spinoff-1202859368/

With her reign as Princess Margaret on Netflix’s acclaimed series “The Crown” officially over, Vanessa Kirby is taking her talents to the big screen. The British actress is in final negotiations to star opposite Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham in “Fast and Furious” spinoff, “Hobbs and Shaw.”

Kirby, who received rave reviews that led to a BAFTA win for her role as the troubled sibling to Queen Elizabeth in Netflix’s “The Crown,” appears next in “Mission: Impossible – Fallout.” She can also be seen in “Gareth Jones” opposite Peter Sarsgaard. Kirby is currently on stage performing in National Theatre’s “Julie” in London.

“Deadpool 2” director David Leitch is on board to helm with Johnson and Statham reprising their roles of special agent Luke Hobbs and criminal mastermind Deckard Shaw, respectively. Kirby will play an MI-5 agent and Shaw’s sister.

“Fast and Furious” architect Chris Morgan penned the script with production set to commence this fall. Plot details are vague, but the central idea is that the film would see the often-at-odds duo team up. Johnson, Statham, and “Fast and Furious” producer Neal Moritz will produce.

So the entire Shaw family is full of badasses it would seem. Statham, Luke Evans, Helen Mirren, and now Vanessa Kirby.

 

[terry78]

Something must've been in Daddy Shaw's juice.

 

[Loki882]

So who is Papa Shaw I wonder, Sir Anthony Hopkins?

So who is Papa Shaw I wonder, Sir Anthony Hopkins?

I was thinking more Michael Gambon myself, actually.

 

[Marvolo]

Jeremy Irons would make a good Shaw.

 

[Pennywise]

Jeremy Irons would make a good Shaw.

Yup!

 

[2kt09]

Malcolm Mcdowell

 

[Still Wynning]

Jeremy Irons would make a good Shaw.

That...would actually be a really great choice. And I could totally see him playing the kind of guy that Dame Mirren’s Mama Shaw would go for in her younger years. Rough around the edges but totally charming.

If you’re going to go with an actor who played Alfred, Michael Caine or don’t even bother.
