Dwayne Johnson has unveiled the firstHobbs and Shawteaser while announcing that the trailer will drop this Friday. Johnson had previously revealed that the trailer was going to premiere during theSuper Bowlon Sunday, but it appears we’re getting it earlier, which is obviously much better for fans who have been waiting. The trailer will follow the recent trend of commercials debuting before the big game while also airing during the game. Johnson and Jason Statham have been hyping theFast and Furiousspin-off for months and we’re all ready to finally see some footage.
TheHobbs & Shawteaser features a garage door opening to revealDwayne Johnsonas Hobbs preparing for a showdown. It’s incredibly brief and doesn’t show off any footage from the movie, which is a good thing. It also leads us to believe that there will be more of these teasers on the way, or at least one more bringing backJason Stathamas Shaw. But, we could get more that introduce the new characters, including Idris Elba’s villainous Brixton character.
Principal photography wrapped on Hobbs & Shaw last weekendwith Jason Statham and producer Hiram Garcia posting pictures on social media. Statham posted a shot of him and Dwayne Johnson with a helicopter right over their heads, teasing that they received two haircuts for the price of one. Garcia went with a Hawaiian sunset, which was probably the most mellow image that we have seen from the production. Never one to be quiet on social media about a project, Dwayne Johnson also made several posts about theFast and Furiousspin-off after production wrapped.
Hobbs & Shawhas been promised as themost explosive movie in the Fast and Furiousfranchise to date by Dwayne Johnson numerous times over the past few weeks. And while the action star is almost always super excited to promote his projects,Hobbs & Shawseems like a different thing entirely. It appears that Johnson and Statham had the time of their lives making the movie, which only leaves us thinking that it won’t be the last time that we see these two particular characters on the big screen together, teaming up to take down some new villains.
Hobbs & Shawhits theaters on August 2nd and it will more than likely be a huge late summer popcorn movie.Fast and Furiousfans are already excited about it, but it’s beginning to look like non-fans of the franchise are starting to show some interest for this spin-off too. Jason Statham had a global hit with last summer’sThe Meg, and he might be about to replicate that success and perhaps even eclipse it. While we wait for theHobbs & Shawtrailer to debut on Friday, February 1st, you can check out the first teaser below, thanks toDwayne Johnson’s Twitteraccount.
