‘Hobbs & Shaw’ Super Bowl Trailer: Extended Breakdown
Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw partners Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) with arch rival Deckard [...]
Luke Hobbs
A career lawman and former criminal-hunting agent of the Diplomatic Security Service, Hobbs is a self-described "nice cold can of whoop ass" who
has since gone on to serve America's Diplomatic Security Service as a loyal agent that always gets his guy.
Hobbs is a dutiful father to Samantha (Eden Estrella) and is backed by his "aiga," his family, comprised of his four brothers, who own and operate illegal chop shop-turned-legit custom car parts business Hobbs Customs in Western Samoa.
Hobbs' brothers — two of which are played by WWE superstar Roman Reigns and The Meg star Cliff Curtis — heavily believe in a Samoan saying, "Ou te le tau to'atasi ae matou te tau fa'atasi," which translates to: "When you fight one, you fight us all."
prevnextDeckard Shaw
The rogue former MI6 agent may have come to the rescue as a baby-saving hero in Fate of the Furious, but he remains a highly dangerous, expertly trained killer yet to earn Hobbs' trust.
No word yet if Evans' Owen will return to lend an assist — he was last seen headed to parts unknown after helping his brother rescue Brian Toretto in Fate — but where there's one Shaw brother, the other isn't likely to be far behind.
prevnextHattie Shaw
Hobbs & Shaw introduces the fourth member of the Shaw clan, Hattie (Vanessa Kirby), a rogue MI6 agent every bit as brilliant and fearless as her brothers.
Johnson previously characterized Hattie as a tequila-drinking badass who enjoys "kickin' it" with Hobbs, much to Shaw's chagrin.
prevnextBrixton
Hobbs and Shaw's tense alliance is birthed out of biowarfare, as cyber-genetically enhanced bad guy Brixton — who boasts superhuman powers and a bulletproof suit — gains control over an insidious bioweapon that could alter humanity forever.
Lauding himself as "human evolutionary charge," Brixton says he's "dealing with the future of the planet" — potentially giving the Fast & Furious franchise its biggest threat yet.
Directed by David Leitch (Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2), Hobbs & Shaw opens August 2.
