Johnson introduced Idris Elba’s villain character with an Instagram post as well, revealing that his name is Brixton and that Hobbs will have the “showdown of all showdowns” with the antagonist. The plot of Hobbs & Shaw has been kept under wraps thus far, although it’s likely at some point Hobbs and Shaw will come together to take on Elba’s villainous character.

Universal Pictures / @therock Instagram Along with Johnson, Statham, Elba, and Kirby, the film has Eddie Marsan in the cast in an undisclosed role, which reunites the actor with his Deadpool 2 director David Leitch. Longtime Furious series scribe Chris Morgan wrote the script for the spinoff, the first side movie of the Fast & Furious franchise. Hobbs & Shaw will be released on Aug. 2, 2019.
