Idris Elba will do the perfect fast and the naughty villain

Hobbs and Shaw will be directed by David Leitch ( Deadpool 2 ) and written by long Fast author Chris Morgan -which may or may not define a future iteration of the series in space, after the Fast The famine runs from other places to go. He will follow the special agent Luke Hobbs (Johnson) and the devilish mercier Deckard Shaw (Statham), a rival duo who had to team up in the last round of the franchise

The Rock has already confirmed the cast of # 39; Elba on Instagram. , writing that the pair waited for years the good project to do together. "Every great hero needs an even bigger villain," he writes in the caption. "Cue the music … I've been waiting … let's dance."

The details about the Elba villain's role have not yet been revealed, but it seems as good as quite different for the universe Fast . The actor has already played charismatic mega-franchise, turning into Krall for Star Trek: Beyond and voicing the role of Shere Khan in The Jungle Book. He is also a real-life expert, beating a 90-year speed record in a Bentley in 2015 for the Discovery Channel special Idris Elba: No Limits. We know we're beating a dead horse for a long time – but boy, why, why did ever play James Bond? Whatever the case may be: the cast of Hobbs and Shaw is still a nail in the Bond coffin, while Elba will be busy producing Hobbs and Shaw in the fall, then indebted to various liberation on July 26, 2019.

Maybe Hobbs and Shaw will be savvy enough to trade on a part of the IRL of the 39 Elbe Bond call, throwing him like a villain in the vein of the 007 franchise. After all, the film was descended on a decidedly British path; he also cast The Crown of Vanessa Kirby in a key role in early July. Maybe this means that his story will take place in the UK? Until we know for sure, perhaps we should concentrate on praying that Elba and Johnson will hear well – lest we end up with a sequel to the Great Candy Ass 2016 Beef.
