From what David Leitch told CinemaBlend’s own Eric Eisenberg, while Hobbs & Shaw will feel like just as much of a spectacle as the recent Fast and the Furious movies, it will have more of a spy bent to it, which makes sense.
After all, for years Luke Hobbs was an agent for the United States Diplomatic Security Service, while Deckard Shaw was an assassin for the United Kingdom Special Forces.
If you’re going to make a movie centered around these two, it would be foolish not to capitalize on their backgrounds as government operatives.
What started out as some movies about street racing and pulling off elaborate heists has morphed over the last decade into a franchise that sees its heroes frequently saving the world, but there’s still the focus on cars and pulling off crazy maneuvers in them.
