#TRAILERCHEST: The final trailer for Hobbs & Shaw focuses on one huge action set-piece

We’ve got at least one more huge action movie before the summer is over.

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?

The drama behind the making of the upcoming Fast & Furious movies is almost as OTT as what is happening on screen. Off the back of The Rock and The Stath getting their own spin-off, there was a very unhappy reaction by some of the other members of the cast.

With two of the bigger (literally) members AWOL, it was announced that John Cena would be joining the ranks of Fast & Furious 9 (due in May 2020). Then a fan of wrestlers-turned-actors made a prediction of who might be next to series, but Dave Bautista had some very specific thoughts on that:

“I’d rather do good films.” Ouch.

Not that any of that really matters, not as long as the action on the big screen looks like this much fun.

As far as the plot goes, all you need to know is that Idris “I’m Black Superman” Elba is the bad guy, who wants a weapon to hold the world hostage, and it is up to The Rock and The Stath (and The Stath’s sister, Mission: Impossible – Fallout’s Vanessa Kirby) to stop him.

Stuff explodes, exploding stuff crashes into other exploding stuff, and The Rock and The Stath can barely contain their disdain for each other.

We can’t wait!

Starring: Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Jason Statham, Idris Elba, Vanessa Kirby, Eiza Gonzalez, Helen Mirren, Roman Reigns
