Fast & Furious Spin-off with The Rock & Statham is ON!
After initial reports that a Fate of the Furious end credits scene teasing a team-up between Dwayne Johnson’s Agent Luke Hobbs and Jason Statham’s Deckard Shaw was removed at the last minute, Deadline is now reporting that Universal Pictures has just begun development on that idea as the first Furious spin-off movie!
Series screenwriter Chris Morgan has signed on to pen the spin-off, though he has yet to begin writing as they are still in early stages. No word yet on whether Universal will use the footage they already shot as a teaser for the project. The Fate of the Furious has so far earned an incredible $685 million going into its second weekend, and is expected to continue to rock the worldwide box office. Fate is still set to open in Poland and Romania today and in Japan on April 28.
