#TRAILERCHEST: Fast & Furious spin-off Hobbs & Shaw looks like it could be the most fun movie of 2019

Action film of the summer?

Welcome to #TrailerChest, where we’re taking a sneak peek at the brand new trailer for Fast & Furious Presents Hobbs & Shaw.

Plot’s it all about? Hobbs and Shaw first met in Fast and Furious 7, and it was hate at first sight. Over the course of that movie, as well as its sequel, they were constantly going head to head, until they finally put their heads together to take down an even bigger threat.

In the first of apparently three different spin-offs from the Fast & Furi-verse, they’re once again forced to work together to take down the big bad guy, this time played with Idris Elba, who is apparently (literally!) bullet proof.

Throw in some epic action set-pieces involving giant trucks and jumping out of skyscrapers, and it looks like Hobbs & Shaw could be the most fun any of us will have in the cinema this summer.

Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Idris Elba, Vanessa Kirby, Eddie Marsan.

Directed by: David Leith (Deadpool 2, Atomic Blonde)

Irish release date: Friday 2 August

Enjoy!
