AceShowbiz - Meet the new face in "Hobbs and Shaw"! Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has shared the first look at "The Crown" star Vanessa Kirby as Deckard Shaw's sister Hattie in a new set photo posted on his Instagram page.
Seemingly still in character, both actors sport fake bruises and scars on their faces while they pose in what looks like a tunnel with several cars parked behind them. The wrestler-turned-actor also shared details of Hattie.
"In our spin-off, HOBBS & SHAW, I have a nice new friend. Meet 'Hattie Shaw' played by my homegirl, @vanessa__kirby," he wrote in the caption. "Hattie loves the following/ Longs walks on the beach. Being a bad ass MI6 Operative. Drinking tequila with Hobbs. And not in that order."
Johnson revealed that despite being Shaw's sister, Hattie is close with Hobbs and it doesn't sit well with Shaw. "Hattie also happens to be the sister of Deckard Shaw, who's played by @jasonstatham. It tortures him that his sister Hattie is kickin' it with Hobbs. His pain makes me very happy," he added. "But what makes me happier is welcoming this crazy talented actress and cool chick to our movie. Havin' a blast together."
Jason Statham previously talked about his character's relationship with his sister. "We're trying to build out my relationship with my sister and with my mother and what that means," he said. "What my relationship is with Idris [Elba] and all these other things. [David] really cares a lot. He's on the phone all the time and he's always there and we’re trying to do something really good."
"Hobbs and Shaw" began filming in London, England in September, before moving to Glasgow in October. Helen Mirren is going to reprise her role as Shaw's feisty mum Magdalene, with Idris Elba being cast as the villain named Brixton.
David Leitch ("Deadpool 2") is serving behind the lens with a script provided by Chris Morgan. It is scheduled for a July 26, 2019 release in the United States.
