New Hobbs & Shaw image teases more big muscles, shaved heads

This summer will see a lot of big blockbusters with big stars hitting the big screen, but none will have as many big muscles on display as the FAST AND FURIOUS spinoff, HOBBS & SHAW. Star Dwayne Johnson (Hobbs) posted a new image teasing the action flick on his Instagram account, which has basically become the major haven of the movie's pre-trailer promotion material. He’s standing tall and intimidating alongside to Jason Statham’s Deckard Shaw, who Hobbs was at odds against in past FF movies, and now they’re teaming up to take on Idris Elba’s villainous character, Brixton. They…they know he’s, like, right behind them, right?

Also starring Vanessa Kirby, Eiza Gonzalez and Eddie Marsan, HOBBS & SHAW is the first major spinoff for the FF franchise after eight movies in the main series, which has become a massive billion-dollar franchise over the last two installments. David Leitch (DEADPOOL 2, JOHN WICK) directs this new action flick, which could be the start of a whole new side series should people turn out to see the testosterone-fueled blockbuster.

An exclusive lil’ taste of biggest showdown the summer has ever seen. The Outlaw Lawman, HOBBS. The International Spy, SHAW. The Baddest Bad Guy the Fast & Furious franchise has ever had, BRIXTON. We’re either gonna get along or we get it on. Fuuuck gettin’ along, gettin’ it on is way more fun. On a biz note, this film has been a fun one to produce and our ???? audience is gonna have an absolute blast this summer. #FastAndFuriousPresents #HobbsAndShaw @sevenbucksprod @hhgarcia41 ????

H&S is certainly one to get excited about this summer. Even I, a non-fan of the FF movies, am excited about the flick, what with Leitch behind the camera and the studio finally deciding to focus a movie on the series' most entertaining characters. Hopefully, it feels very different from the main series of movies, focusing on more intense, bare-knuckle action. There's an equal proportion of bald/near-bald heads even with Vin Diesel out of the picture, but hey, that's unavoidable.

HOBBS AND SHAW hits theaters August 2.
