First Fast & Furious Spin-Off Looks Like A Superhero Film

While there are lots of shots showing muscly men punching each other, it wouldn't be a Fast & Furious film without some spectacular automotive action. Fortunately, it looks like Hobbs & Shaw will satisfy gearheads as the trailer shows aMcLaren 720S tearing through the streets of London while being chased by bad guys on motorbikes.

In a nice nod to the original film, the British supercar also slides under not one buttwomoving semi-trucks, so the producers haven't completely forgotten about the franchise's roots. In one destructive scene, Dwayne Johnson also takes out some modified Range Rovers by spinning a huge eight-wheeled armored truck into them. His character might as well be a superhero too, though, judging from the scene where he fearlessly jumps out of a skyscraper.

The first Fast & Furious spin-off looks like a fun ride, but early reactions suggest the lack of returning characters such as series mainstay Dominic Toretto is dividing fans. Directed by David Leitch, who also helmed Deadpool 2 and Atomic Blonde, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw hits theaters on August 2. It will be the first of several planned spin-off films, as Vin Diesel recentlyhinted a female-focused Fast & Furious film is also coming.
