I wonder then if Jason Statham and Dwayne Johnson can actually make a shock return to Fast & Furious 9 after their Hobbs & Shaw spin-off (and very possible sequels). As that film has wrapped filming, Statham now has a clear schedule ahead of him, while Johnson has just finished Jumanji 3, and who knows when he'll start production on his globe-trotting action/thriller Red Notice with Gal Gadot.

God yeah this is going to be fun, I love the fact that they are incorporating The Rocks Samoan background
...I want that track from the first few mini trailers
This trailer did make me laugh.

I'm just saying, aside from a little cameo, the exact same can be said for Tokyo Drift, a main title in the series. This is effectively taking a place as the ninth film in the series, it doesn't meed to be a spin off.
Bean counting, I know, but I´ve got a day off today ;-).
@vzok, I think not. I hope not, because with them the film would be too crowded. I would much prefer them instead to give the original Crew members more screen time.
Hobbs is sort of surplus to requirements now in the main series. He was very shoehorned in to the eighth film.
The character is still fun though, so I'd be happy for him to have his own films.

The film's highly elaborate physical scenes and innumerable effects reflect the money said to have been spent, and they mostly pay off in action that's both visceral and amusing.
Make no mistake: “Hobbs & Shaw” is fun, but it’s so ludicrously over-the-top, it makes the comic-book logic of your average Marvel movie look reasonable by comparison.
Hobbs & Shaw is an action movie as a meme; the entire film is a self-effacing wink at the audience. It delivers to us what we want in a movie where Johnson and Statham are filmed 85% of the time in slow-motion: good dumb fun.
Edit: The film is currently at 61/100 on MetaCritic and 78% on RottenTomatoes.
Critics consensus on RT: Hobbs & Shaw doesn't rev as high as the franchise's best installments, but gets decent mileage out of its well-matched stars and over-the-top action sequences.
It´s hard to say if it is better or worse than most of the other FF entries, because the only FF film that left a lasting impression on me is the 5th, I can´t remember much from the others :-)).

I'd say 4 out of 5 from me!
