If the thunderous reaction to Hobbs & Shawis any indication,Watch The Grey Online the Fast & Furiousfranchise isn't slowing down one bit.
Universal Pictures showed off new footage from the spinoff at CinemaCon Wednesday, highlighting the chemistry between stars Jason Statham and Dwayne Johnson; impressive action chops from series newcomers Vanessa Kirby and Idris Elba; the film's British and Polynesian settings; and a shit ton of explosive, physics-defying set pieces.
These were some of the loudest cheers I've heard yet at CinemaCon.
The reception from the crowd was immediate and enthusiastic -- these were some of the loudest cheers I've heard yet at CinemaCon. And, frankly, it's earned.
After some rather charming banter between Johnson and Statham about which Hobbs & Shawstar is the sexiest (Elba is the current People's Sexiest Man Alive, but Johnson held the title a couple of years ago and is gracious enough to describe Statham as "the second most handsome bald guy in the world"), we went straight into the reel.
The new footage opens with Luke Hobbs (Johnson) and Deckard Shaw (Statham) back in their frenemy-bromance relationship as they prepare to tear through a hallway full of bad guys. They quip, they compete, they beat the crap out of some poor minions, and they come out the other end victorious.
The plot, we learn, revolves around a pissed-off Brixton (Elba) coming after Deckard's sister Hattie (Kirby), who's stolen something of his -- a virus that could wipe out half the population.
It's no surprise Elba looks good as a genetically enhanced super-soldier in action ("I'm black Superman!" he roars), but Kirby, best known for The Crown, more than holds her own as a strong and nimble lady capable of kicking her way out of a bad situation.
Fast & Furioussuperfan Helen Mirren makes a return appearance as the Shaw matriarch, now communicating with her son from behind prison glass.
But perhaps even more entertaining is our first look at Hobbs' family. Forced out of London by Brixton and his goons, our central trio end up on an unspecified island, crashing in Hobbs' hometown with his mom -- who lets out a delightful, "My baby's come home!"
Brixton, however, isn't far behind, and Hobbs enlists his community to help him fight back -- with old-school tools like spears, in contrast to the high-tech weaponry of most Fast & Furiousmovies.

That comes when Hobbs and his brothers perform the Siva Tau, described by Johnson as "the Samoan version of the Haka," in anticipation of the battle to come. Per Johnson, it's the first time that dance has ever been showcased in a blockbuster movie.
Now they're ready to fight, and fight they do. Hobbs & Shawserves up all the completely ridiculous action we've come to expect from these movies -- people crashing through buildings, leaping between cars, soaring through explosions, all of that.
But the most dramatic one comes late in the trailer, when our heroes, driving a semi, throws a chain around an airborne helicopter. Both vehicles struggle for control, Johnson does a more muscle-y version of Captain America trying to hold down a helicopter in Captain America: Civil War, and the whole thing ends with all the vehicles flying off a cliff.
It is enormous, and hilarious, and gleefully unrealistic, and it's everything we've come to love about these movies. Hobbs & Shawis in theaters August 2.
