Dramatiken kring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson och Jason Stathams Fast & Furious-spinoff har under de senaste månaderna blottats på nätet likt ett öppet sår, med diverse tragiska utspel från Dwayne och Jasons Fast-kollegor som känt sig utelämnade och snuvade på konfekten medan filmföljetongens största stjärnor får en alldeles egen rulle. Nu verkar det dessutom som om det blir John Wick/Deadpool 2-regissören David Leitch som ska regissera, åtminstone om vi ska tro The Hollywood Reporter som luskat reda på lite mer om denna produktion.
"Deadpool 2 director David Leitch is revving up his engines to possibly join the Fast and Furious family. The director, considered one of the premier action filmmakers currently working in the field with credits such as John Wick and Atomic Blonde under his belt, has emerged as the frontrunner and is in early talks to direct the untitled Fast and Furious spinoff that is to star Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham. Universal has set a July 26, 2019, release for the movie, which will focus on Luke Hobbs, the Diplomatic Security Service agent played by Johnson, and Deckard Shaw (Statham), an assassin who was one of the primary bad guys in the franchise before being redeemed and joining the motley crew of antiheroes that make up the roll call."
Vad tror du om detta, är Leitch ett vettigt val?
Hobbs får en egen spinoff-rulle, något som gjort bland annat kollegan Tyrese Gibson (Roman) att tappa humöret fullständigt.
