New ‘Hobbs & Shaw’ Trailer Is Still About A Fast And Furious Family

Forget the Avengers. The real heroes of the summer, Hobbs and Shaw are about to blow us all away , maybe even literally. A new trailer for the first Fast & Furious spin-off movie Hobbs & Shaw has premiered online. And while it still doesn’t feature anyone from Dominic Toretto’s crew , the film is still faithful to the franchise as it drops its favorite F word : Family.
On thursday , Universal Studios released the newest trailer for Hobbs & Shaw , out in theaters on August 2 . The film stars Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham , who reprise their roles from Fast & Furious series . In the movie , two bickering ass-kicker , Luke Hobbs (Johnson) and Deckard Shaw (Statham) are forced to work together to take down a genitically altered superhuman , Brixton (Idris Elba).
But they can’t do it alone. To defeat Brixton, the two men rely on their own families, as they recruit Shaw’s sister Hattie (Vanessa Kirby) and Hobbs’ extended family in Samoa (Including Johnson’s real-life cousin, WWE superstar Roman Reigns, in a supporting role). They may not be racing exotic cars and import tuners, but they’ve still got the mileage for family as they fight Brixton not with guns , but wood axes and spears.
