With directorDavid Leitch’sHobbs & Shawnow playing in theaters around the world andIMAX, a few days ago I got to talk toIdris Elbaabout the movie. Since he’s done plenty of talking about the action scenes and why he wanted to be part of theFast & Furiousspinoff, I had one goal when I sat down with him: to have fun.
To make that happen, I decided to ask a number of questions pitting Hobbs against Shaw: Who ruined the most takes, who has more hair, who is a better wingman, and more. After a few Hobbs vs. Shaw questions, it was time to debate who would win in a fight if Hobbs and Shaw took on some other action icons like Jason Bourne, John McClane, Rocky Balboa, Bruce Lee, Ellen Ripley, and a few others.
As you’veseen in the trailers, in the spinoff, Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) must team up with Shaw (Jason Statham) to stop Brixton (Idris Elba), a superhuman anarchist bent on releasing a biothreat on the world.Hobbs & Shawalso starsVanessa Kirbyas Shaw’s sister,Helen Mirrenas Shaw’s mother,Eiza Gonzalex,Eddie Marsan, and Cliff Curtis. The film is produced byChris Morgan, Johnson, Statham andHiram Garcia. The executive producers areKelly McCormick,Dany Garcia,Steven Chasman,Ethan SmithandAinsley Davies.
Check out what he had to say in the player above and below is exactly what I asked followed by the official synopsis.
