Following its $760 million worldwide box-office haul, the Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham-led “Fast and Furious” franchise spin-off “Hobbs & Shaw” is getting its inevitable sequel.
In an Instagram Live Q&A, Johnson confirmed that another installment is looking to be added to his already busy upcoming schedule: “We are developing now the next film, the next [Hobbs & Shaw] movie, and I’m pretty excited about it…Just gotta figure out the creative right now, and the direction we’re going to go.”
Reviews for the first film were fairly good. No word if his co-stars like Jason Statham and Vanessa Kirby or director David Leitch and screenwriter Chris Morgan will be back, though it’s likely.
One thread likely to be picked up is the identity of the Eteon corporation head and boss of the first film’s villain Brixton (Idris Elba). Only heard as an altered voice, Leitch and Morgan both reportedly want Keanu Reeves for the part and should Reeves’ schedule have a gap – he could well do it.
