When it comes to directors, the Fast & Furious series is a bit of a revolving door. Actors, too, have come and gone, even though a steady, core ensemble was eventually established. But there’s been at least one figure in the Fast & Furious world that has remained constant since 2006’s The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, and that’s writer Chris Morgan. Morgan has been the writer of every film in the Fast & Furious series since Tokyo Drift (a movie that, despite its status amongst some as the redheaded stepchild of the bunch, ultimately helped position the series as a broad, interconnected universe).
With Morgan behind the scenes, over the last 13 years Fast & Furious has snowballed into Universal’s highest-grossing franchise; a multi-billion-dollar box office brute. Now, it’s about to get even bigger as it expands into spin-off territory for the first time with Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw. Hobbs & Shaw will pair up two of the Fast franchise’s heaviest hitters and pit them against a juiced-up Idris Elba as Brixton, an international terrorist with superhuman-like strength who describes himself as human evolutionary change. Instead of help from the Fast crew, this time around we can expect appearances by Vanessa Kirby as Shaw’s sister, MI6 agent Hattie, as well as Hobbs’ four brothers, who run a custom car business out of Western Samoa.
