Statham’s Deckard Shaw first appeared in the post-credits scene ofFast & Furious 6, which took place concurrently with the third movie,The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, and revealed that Shaw was responsible for the death of Han. (In case you hadn’t noticed, this franchise’s timeline is bonkers.) Shaw has squared off with Johnson’s government agent Luke Hobbs multiple times, but in this spin-off, they’ll be teaming up to face a common enemy – avillain being played byIdris Elba(Molly’s Game, Pacific Rim).
The CrownandMission: Impossible – FalloutactressVanessa Kirbyhas also come on board as Shaw’s sister. With any luck, we’ll also get to see more of Helen Mirren playing the Shaw family matriarch – she had a small role inThe Fate of the Furious, but there’s plenty of story left to mine there.Chris Morgan, who has written everyFast & Furiousmovie since 2006’sTokyo Drift, wrote the screenplay, andHobbs and Shawwill now cruise into theatersonAugust 2, 2019.
