‘Hobbs & Shaw’ Final Trailer; looks so ridiculously fun and completely divorced from reality

Before Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, hits theaters on August 2, Universal has released the final trailer of the upcoming spinoff.

The film seems like borderline-superhero movie spinoff to the Fast & Furious franchise, Hobbs & Shaw starring Johnson as Luke Hobbs and Jason Statham as Deckard Shaw, mortal enemies who are forced to band together to stop a cyber-genetically altered Brixton played by Idris Elba.

This film looks ridiculously fun, while you watch the trailer be prepared to ask yourself “How the hell did they do that?” at least a dozens of times over the course of the next 2:25 minutes.

Here is the official synopsis for Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw:

After eight films that have amassed almost $5 billion worldwide, the Fast & Furious franchise now features its first stand-alone vehicle as Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham reprise their roles as Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw in Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw.

Ever since hulking lawman Hobbs (Johnson), a loyal agent of America’s Diplomatic Security Service, and lawless outcast Shaw (Statham), a former British military elite operative, first faced off in 2015’s Furious 7, the duo have swapped smack talk and body blows as they’ve tried to take each other down.

But when cyber-genetically enhanced anarchist Brixton (Idris Elba) gains control of an insidious bio-threat that could alter humanity forever — and bests a brilliant and fearless rogue MI6 agent (The Crown‘s Vanessa Kirby), who just happens to be Shaw’s sister — these two sworn enemies will have to partner up to bring down the only guy who might be badder than themselves.

Hobbs & Shaw blasts open a new door in the Fast universe as it hurtles action across the globe, from Los Angeles to London and from the toxic wasteland of Chernobyl to the lush beauty of Samoa.

Directed by David Leitch (Deadpool 2) from a script by longtime Fast & Furious narrative architect Chris Morgan, the film is produced by Morgan, Johnson, Statham and Hiram Garcia. The executive producers are Kelly McCormick, Dany Garcia, Steven Chasman, Ethan Smith and Ainsley Davies.
