In another “Fast and Furious” news, Universal is reportedly considering a spinoff of the franchise starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Jason Statham, Deadline reported. In the latest installment, Johnson’s Luke Hobbs and Statham’s Ian Shaw put aside their differences to work with the squad, who were clueless about Dominic Toretto’s (Vin Diesel) betrayal.

The two characters had an action-packed scene in jail. Both were reluctant to work together when Mr. Nobody (Kurt Russell) got them out of prison to help Letty (Michelle Rodriguez), Roman (Tyrese Gibson), Tej (Ludacris) and Megan (Nathalie Emmanuel).

According to Variety, the “Fast and Furious” spinoff might feature Hobbs and Shaw’s tandem as they run after Charlize Theron’s character who was able to escape in the latest film. There is no start date yet for the spinoff, given the actors’ busy schedules. However, Johnson is booked in the franchise until 2018.
