Dwayne Johnson’s action movie Hobbs and Shaw, the first spinoff from the hugely successful Fast & Furious franchise, will film in the UK later this year with co-star Jason Statham also on board.

Johnson’s Hobbs character has recurred in the last four Fast & Furious movies and has been credited as a major reason for the franchise becoming the international box-office juggernaut it has become in recent years.

Statham’s Shaw has also successfully recurred in the Fast & Furious movies and the new spinoff film will see the pair team up on their own against a new threat.

Production will begin in the UK later this year with Deadpool 2 filmmaker David Leitch directing.

Johnson will shoot Hobbs and Shaw once he has wrapped on Disney’s Jungle Cruise, which recently started production in Hawaii.
