Alla vet vi att Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson och Jason Statham kommer att lira huvudrollerna i Fast & Furious-stickspåret Hobbs & Shaw men vem som skulle plocka upp rollen som filmens storskurk har varit oklart, fram till igår. Det blir Idris Elba (Pacific Rim, Star Trek: Beyond, Thor: Ragnarok och Prometheus) som kommer att lira skurkrollen meddelade Variety under gårdagen. Hobbs & Shaw kommer att regisseras av John Wick/Deadpool 2-gubben David Leitch och manuset är tydligen helfärdigt.
"Deadpool 2 director David Leitch is on board to helm, with Johnson and Statham reprising their roles as special agent Luke Hobbs and criminal mastermind Deckard Shaw, respectively. "Fast and Furious" architect Chris Morgan penned the script, with production set to commence this fall. The film will see the often-at-odds pair teaming up. Sources say Elba's character is the antagonist the duo will go up against. Since his arrival in the franchise's fifth installment, Universal has tried to find a way to spin off Johnson's Hobbs character, given his popularity with fans. Statham joined the series in the seventh movie, and considering the chemistry between the two actors in 2017's The Fate of the Furious, Universal took action on plans to develop a spinoff. It hits theaters on July 26, 2019." Länk
