HOBBS AND SHAW Stars Dwayne Johnson & Jason Statham Celebrate Start Of Production On FAST & FURIOUS Spin-off

Does Dwayne Johnson ever just take a moment to relax? Fresh off his blockbuster movies Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, Rampage, and Skyscraper, Johnson has started filming Jungle Cruise while announcing the renewal of his hit HBO show Ballers. His IMDB page reveals a number of other projects in the works including a sequel to Jumanji, Black Adam, and a ton more. But wait, there's also Hobbs and Shaw, the long-awaited spin-off to the successful action franchise Fast & Furious.

The upcoming film, which stars Johnson and his partner in crime Jason Statham, has had a bumpy road, but it looks like it has cleared all of its hurdles. Johnson took to Instagram to celebrate the start of work on Hobbs and Shaw. He posted a photo of co-star Jason Statham alongside director David Leitch in front of some slick cars that I'll never be able to afford. Johnson added that he'll join them in London in two weeks.
