The above trailer features Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham as the titular characters. It also brings back Vanessa Kirby as Hattie Shaw. Moreover, it adds Mélanie Laurent as a new character, using her scenes from Now You See Me. Along with that, the video uses AI footage and scenes compiled from the previous Hobbs & Shaw outing and Statham’s The Beekeeper. This further proves that it’s fake.
Will Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham return for Hobbs & Shaw 2?
Dwayne Johnson returned for Fast X as Luke Hobbs, and could also be back for the main franchise’s final movie. However, he is also confirmed for Hobbs & Shaw 2, alongside Jason Statham.
Producer Hiram Garcia stated that the sequel’s script is currently being written. (via The Wrap) Despite making $760 million worldwide and perfectly setting up a sequel in 2019, the development of Hobbs & Shaw 2 has been on the slower side. Meanwhile, Johnson has been involved with other projects.
The actor will be voicing Maui in Moana 2, and will also play the character in Moana’s live-action remake. He was recently confirmed to return for Jumanji 4, which comes out in 2026. So, having a packed schedule already, Dwayne Johnson’s return to Hobbs & Shaw 2 could take a while.
