Dwayne Johnson: "Hobbs & Shaw 2" is officially being worked on

The movie hit "Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw" gets a second part. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (47) has now confirmed this on Instagram. The development of "Hobbs & Shaw 2" had begun, he explained in a live question and answer session, according to "Screenrant". Although there are no exact details yet, it is highly likely that both Johnson and his fellow actor Jason Statham (52) will be seen again, as the two embody the eponymous characters Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw.

Dwayne Johnson is "pretty excited"

"We're currently developing the next film – the next Hobbs & Shaw flick – and I'm pretty excited," Johnson said. Among other things, he also thanked for the success of the first part. According to "boxofficemojo.com", "Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw" grossed a total of almost $ 760 million worldwide – the equivalent of around 695 million euros – with a budget of around $ 200 million worldwide

At the moment, however, it is not known who else could be there. Also whether David Leitch (50, "Atomic Blonde") will direct again has not been officially confirmed. Screenwriter Chris Morgan (53), who is apparently back on board, had at least revealed last October that the mysterious villain of the film should be part of the story again in possible upcoming sequels.
