Here's our first look at Idris Elba's villainous Brixton in Hobbs and Shaw
The Fast and Furious franchise went from zero to 60 with its crackerjack fifth installment, demoting the drag racing upon which it built itself into the backseat as it sped fully into over-the-top heist capers. It was a wise decision and, even if the eighth installment left us feeling fast and sorta fatigued, a detour onto the Hobbs and Shaw highway is a welcome one.
As we previously reported, Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham’s characters are getting their own spin-off, and the odd couple’s nemesis will be played by none other than The Wire and Luther star Idris Elba. Now, thanks to an Instagram post from Johnson himself, we’ve been treated to our first look at the character.
