The Rock Spotted Filming Fast & Furious Spin-Off

Filming has officially began for Dwyane ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s Fast & Furious spin-off movie, Hobbs And Show. Today, Hollywood’s top earning actor shared the news on social media. Posting a photo of his producing partner and the director of the film he writes,

DAY 1 and we’ve officially begun.. The long awaited Fast & Furious spin-off movie, #HobbsAndShaw is electric. My partner in heavy crime & fun @jasonstatham is lookin’ like $1million bucks and holdin’ it all down.
Our visionary & bad ass director @davidmleitch (just directed Deadpool2) at the helm and ready to evolve the franchise in exciting and fresh new ways.
And as always, our @sevenbucksprod president @hhgarcia41 capturing the dopest images thru his ? lens. Keep crushing on that set boys… the man known as “HOBBS” will touch down in London in two weeks. Pancakes and tequila on me. #HobbsAndShaw #Day1 #TheEvolution

The spin-off, centered around two characters Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw, is set to be released August 2, 2019. The initial announcement of the spin-off provoked a response on Instagram by Tyrese Gibson, criticizing Johnson for causing the ninth Fast & Furious film to be delayed for another year.

The singer later apologized, stating blaming his medication.
