Cast

Production

In November 2015, Vin Diesel announced in an interview with Variety that potential spin-offs for The Fast and the Furious series were in the early stages of development.[1] A spin-off film centered around characters Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw was announced in October 2017 by Universal Pictures and set a release date of July 26, 2019 with Chris Morgan returning to write the script.[2] Variety reported that Shane Black was being considered to direct the film.[3] The announcement of the spin-off provoked a response on Instagram by Tyrese Gibson, criticizing Johnson for causing the ninth Fast & Furious film to be delayed for another year.[4] In February 2018, Deadpool 2 director David Leitch entered talks to direct the film.[5] In April 2018, Leitch was confirmed as the director for the film and added David Scheunemann as a production designer.[6][7]

In July 2018, Vanessa Kirby was cast in the film to play an MI5 agent and Shaw's sister, along with Idris Elba to play the main villain role in the film.[8][9] In October 2018, Eddie Marsan joined the cast of the film.[10]

Filming

Principal photography began on September 10, 2018, in London, England.[11][12] Dwayne Johnson joined the production two weeks later, on September 24, 2018, after wrapping Jungle Cruise.[13]

Release

Hobbs & Shaw is scheduled to be released on August 2, 2019[14] after being moved by Universal Studios from its previous date of July 26, 2019.[15]
