Lore works for one of those evil technology corporations that has a high-tech, glass-walled, Google-worthy headquarters, housing hundreds of employees who are either (a) scientist/researchers or (b) henchmen who will be killed before the movie is over.Īs Lore explains it, the company wants to use the deadly agent to wipe out the weaker human beings on the planet in order to create a better world. We also get multiple references to “Game of Thrones,” I guess to demonstrate the pop-culture savvy of these characters. Or as Lore labels himself, “Black Superman.” We get a couple of those black Superman references, perhaps as a nod to rumors about Idris Elba one day playing the Man of Steel. That way they could keep in touch!)Īnd get this: after Shaw “killed” Lore some 13 years ago by putting two bullets in his chest and one in his brain, Lore has been rebuilt into a half-man, half-robotic killing machine.īasically he’s “Robo-Criminal.” Bad guy Brixton Lore (Idris Elba) was rebuilt to be half robot. (I wonder if there’s a Facebook group for all the MI6 and other secret agents who have gone rogue. This makes Hattie the target of one Brixton Lore (Idris Elba), a former MI6 agent who has gone rogue and has gone mad. Hattie has gained possession, in a certain way, of a deadly virus that in the wrong hands could lead to mass casualties around the planet. Single father Hobbs is still working for the Diplomatic Secret Service, while Shaw is growling and brooding his way across the pond in London - visiting his mother (Helen Mirren), who is in prison but apparently is allowed to keep wearing her jewelry and having her hair done, and still estranged from his sister Hattie (Vanessa Kirby), an MI6 agent with enough hand-to-hand combat skills to keep at least a couple of stunt doubles gainfully employed. MI6 agent Hattie (Vanessa Kirby) is targeted by a rogue operative in “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw.” Universal Pictures On the “Fast and Furious” timeline, “Hobbs & Shaw” takes place some two years after these two helped Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto and his crew take down the evil cyber-terrorist Cypher. Not to mention the leads taking turns barking “Nobody tells me what to do!” at one another, just before doing something so stupid and reckless it would kill half the characters in the Marvel Universe. There’s a plethora of “junk jokes” and testicle-related “humor” in “Hobbs & Shaw.”
These two REALLY don’t like each other, mostly because much of the movie is built on that wobbly and ancient foundation.įorced by their respective bosses to team up in order to save the world from a terrorist threat recycled from a number of other movies (more on that in a moment), Hobbs and Shaw are forever bickering, threatening each other and making jokes about the sizes of their respective, um, egos. This loud and lazy and lumbering actioner is a sequel/spinoff to the “Fast and Furious” franchise, reuniting the Hulk-ish American lawman Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) with the outlaw loner Shaw (Jason Statham). Rated PG-13 (for prolonged sequences of action and violence, suggestive material and some strong language). Atomic Blonde and Deadpool 2's David Leitch directs.Universal Pictures presents a film directed by David Leitch and written by Chris Morgan and Drew Pearce. Hobbs and Shaw arrives in theaters late this summer on on August 2, 2019. Eiza Gonzalez also has a role as a new character called Madam M, who apparently has a " squad of bad ass female force multipliers" at her disposal. Mission: Impossible – Fallout star Vanessa Kirby is also on board to play Hattie Shaw, the sister of Jason Statham's character Deckard Shaw, who also happens to take a liking to Dwayne Johnson's Hobbs. Or maybe Johnson is finally making Shaw pay #JusticeforHan before they team up. Who is he screaming at? Who's bleeding? Possibly Brixton, the new villain played by Idris Elba, who forces Johnson's Luke Hobbs to form an unlikely alliance with Statham's Deckard Shaw. This is more than a movie to me – our culture & warrior mana is very real. I've been waiting for this my entire career. Here's a lil' exclusive from set of Hobbs& Shaw our Fast and Furious spin off filmcoming this summer.
