The Fast and the Furious: Hobbs and Shaw

[David H.]

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

The Italian Job connection would be much appreciated.

I didn’t read the article properly but I’m really excited to hear Kirby is joining the fast and the furious franchise.

*Kirby sucks up The rock, gets jacked. Now there’s two Rocks*

 

[The Endless]

Ray Winstone is THE DADDY NOW!

Wait, what? Why the **** is David Leitch directing a F&F movie? You're better than this, dude.

Is he?

 

[Arachnerd]

I didn't realize Deadpool 2 was the epitome of cinematic masterpieces.

 

[Greens]

Is he?

No, he's exactly the right person.

 

[Aximili86]

Err, not the point. It's creatively above a 38th F&F flick with Statham though.

 

[David H.]

He did Atomic Blonde so, yeah, this is just his kind of thing.

 

[wampa1]

Which one's fast and which one's furious?

 

[Greens]

Err, not the point. It's creatively above a 38th F&F flick with Statham though.

Clearly he thinks it's worth it. This has the potential to be an action classic, more so than the films he has already done.

Idris Elba to Play Villain in ‘Fast and Furious’ Spinoff
https://variety.com/2018/film/news/idris-elba-fast-and-furious-spinoff-dwayne-johnson-jason-statham-1202852226/

Idris Elba is in final negotiations to play the main villain in “Hobbs and Shaw,” the “Fast and Furious” spinoff starring Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham.

“Deadpool 2” director David Leitch is on board to helm, with Johnson and Statham reprising their roles as special agent Luke Hobbs and criminal mastermind Deckard Shaw, respectively. “Fast and Furious” architect Chris Morgan penned the script, with production set to commence this fall.

The film will see the often-at-odds pair teaming up. Sources say Elba’s character is the antagonist the duo will go up against.

 

[kvz5]

Elba as the villain?!

 

[terry78]

They are just going all out **** it, ain't they?

 

[harlequinade]

oh that is HOT

 

[samsnee]

Hopefully they don't waste him like they did with Charlize.

 

[Kane52630]

The Rock vs Elba sounds like money.

 

[DarkKnight88]

I might actually check this out. No Vin Diesel.

 

[Greens]

Cool news.

[DarkKnight88]

Elba needs a non-Thor hit blockbuster, poor guy.

 

[Drizzle]

This just went from "I'll see it" to "I'm actually excited for this now". I wonder if they'll bring Elba's character into the F&F movies should he survive this one.

 

[Arachnerd]

Honestly I'm way more interested in this than any of the main F&F movies. I loved their chemistry in Fate Of The Furious.
