In Hobbs & Shaw, Johnson's Agent Luke Hobbs team up with British mercenary Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) to take on a "cyber-genetically enhanced anarchist," Brixton, played by Idris Elba. Or as Johnson calls him, "The Baddest Bad Guy the Fast & Furious franchise has ever had." Vanessa Kirky (The Crown) co-stars as rogue MI6 agent Kattie Shaw and Helen Mirren reprises her role as the Shaw family matriarch, Magdalene.
Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, from Deadpool 2 director David Leitch and writer Chris Morgan (who has scripted every F&F movie since Tokyo Drift), revs into theaters on Aug. 2.
