FIRST LOOK: Idris Elba's Fast And Furious Spinoff Villain Revealed

Michelle Rodriguez May Be Leaving The FAST & FURIOUS Franchise

Idris Elba is officially part of the Fast and Furious Cinematic Universe, as the English actor plays the villain of the upcoming spinoff movie Hobbs & Shaw.

Elba stars opposite Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham, and while we’ll still have to wait a bit for a trailer, Johnson has shared a picture of Elba’s character in action, along with some information on the new role.

“I learned a long time ago (when I was a very sinful eyebrow raising villainous man in the crazy world of pro wrestling;) that heroes are only as great as their greatest villains,” writes Johnson.
