Dwayne Johnson’s Luke Hobbs and Jason Statham’s Deckard Shaw almost came to blows in the last FAST AND FURIOUS movie, but next year they will be teaming up for an epic adventure like old pals. If you feel like your head is going to explode if you don’t see their respective muscles and shiny scalps alongside each other at this very moment, Dwayne Johnson has posted something that may ease your burden: the first photo from the first day of shooting on HOBBS & SHAW – and in a tasteful black and white.

The image shows Statham and director David Leitch (DEADPOOL 2, ATOMIC BLONDE) having a fun little chat filled with smiles and happiness, all while standing next to what looks like a very fast car in front of a very fancy building. I’m hoping something very furious will happen in this scene, given the presence of the aforementioned fast car.

DAY 1 and the evolution has officially begun. Long awaited Fast & Furious spin-off movie, #HobbsAndShaw is electric. My partner in heavy crime & fun @jasonstatham is lookin’ like $1million bucks and holdin’ it all down. Our visionary & bad ass director @davidmleitch (just directed Deadpool2) at the helm and ready to evolve the franchise in exciting and fresh new ways. And as always, our @sevenbucksprod president @hhgarcia41 capturing the dopest images thru his 📷 lens. Keep crushing on that set boys… the man known as “HOBBS” will touch down in London in two weeks. Pancakes, tequila and ass kickin’s 🥞🥃 on me. #Day1 #TheEvolution #HobbsAndShaw

Though I doubt there will be a black and white version of this movie like MAD MAX: FURY ROAD or LOGAN, the movie has the potential to be more stylish than past F&F movies. Letich has a knack for crafting wild action scenes, and the lack of a massive team means the story can focus on the two suave leads. That being said, I think Hobbs' version of stylish would be rolling up to the party in a classy ass Hummer.

The movie is all set for August 2, 2019, and also stars Vanessa Kirby and Idris Elba with Chris Morgan on scripting duties.
