The Fast and Furious Presents Hobbs and Shaw cast is led by Dwayne Johnson as Luke Hobbs and Jason Statham as Deckard Shaw, with Idris Elba as the villain Brixton and Vanessa Kirby as Hattie Shaw. Helen Mirren plays Queenie Shaw, Eiza González plays Madame M and Eddie Marsan plays Professor Andreiko. Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw is the 2019 spinoff directed by David Leitch, released in US theaters on August 2, 2019, with a screenplay credited to Chris Morgan and Drew Pearce. What sets this ensemble apart is the family it builds around Hobbs, with Cliff Curtis, Lori Pelenise Tuisano, John Tui, Joshua Mauga and Joe Anoa'i (the wrestler Roman Reigns) playing his Samoan relatives. Eliana Su'a takes over Sam Hobbs, a part Eden Estrella played in Furious 7 and The Fate of the Furious. Think of it as a buddy movie where both buddies brought their families along.

Dwayne Johnson plays Luke Hobbs, the US agent who is pushed into working with Deckard Shaw to find Hattie Shaw and the Snowflake virus. He returns to a role TMDB credits him with in Furious 7 and The Fate of the Furious. Johnson is also one of four credited producers on the film, alongside Jason Statham, Chris Morgan and Hiram Garcia, so he shaped the project off screen as well.
Jason Statham plays Deckard Shaw, the brother of Hattie Shaw, who dislikes Luke Hobbs about as much as Hobbs dislikes him. TMDB credits Statham as Deckard Shaw in Furious 7 and The Fate of the Furious, so this spinoff builds on two earlier appearances. Like Dwayne Johnson, he is a credited producer here, which makes the title pairing a partnership both in front of and behind the camera.
Idris Elba plays Brixton, a former MI6 operative with cybernetic upgrades who frames Hattie Shaw for the virus theft and hunts her. UPI reported on July 6, 2018 that Elba had been cast as the central villain, with Dwayne Johnson confirming the news on Twitter. In October 2018, Johnson shared a first look at Elba in character, as covered by the Motion Picture Association.
Vanessa Kirby plays Hattie Shaw, the MI6 agent who injects the Snowflake virus into herself to keep it away from Eteon. UPI reported in October 2018 that Dwayne Johnson introduced her as Hattie on Instagram with a photo from the set, and noted that Kirby was best known for playing Princess Margaret in the first two seasons of The Crown.
Helen Mirren plays Queenie Shaw, the mother of Deckard and Hattie. TMDB lists Mirren as Queenie, uncredited, in The Fate of the Furious (2017), directed by F. Gary Gray, so this film brings her back to the part with a billed credit, fifth in the cast list.
Eiza González plays Madame M and is billed sixth in the TMDB cast list, directly behind Helen Mirren and ahead of Eddie Marsan. TMDB also credits four actors as members of Madame M's crew: Ella-Rae Smith, Rain Chan, Lee Anne Nyagodzi and Maria Sergejeva. González is one of the top billed actors making a first franchise appearance in this film.
Eddie Marsan plays Professor Andreiko, and he is billed seventh in the TMDB cast list. The Hollywood Reporter announced his casting under a headline calling him a Deadpool 2 actor, a direct link to David Leitch, who directed that film before taking on this spinoff.
Eliana Su'a plays Sam Hobbs, the daughter of Luke Hobbs, and her casting is the film's one recast of an established role. TMDB credits Eden Estrella as Samantha Hobbs in Furious 7 and as Sam in The Fate of the Furious. TMDB gives Su'a's birth date as August 1, 2008, so she had just turned 11 when the film opened in US theaters on August 2, 2019.
Cliff Curtis plays Jonah Hobbs, the brother of Luke Hobbs, whom Luke has to face again when he goes home to Samoa. In an interview with Yahoo Entertainment, David Leitch described the strained relationship between the brothers as a universal theme, and said the production brought in cultural advisors to build Hobbs's Samoan world. Curtis is billed ninth, ahead of the rest of Hobbs's Samoan family, with Eliana Su'a billed eighth as Hobbs's daughter Sam.
Lori Pelenise Tuisano plays Sefina, the mother of Luke Hobbs. Inverse reported that screenwriter Drew Pearce credited Dwayne Johnson with overseeing how the film portrayed Samoan families, including some of Sefina's dialogue and quirks, and that Pearce described Johnson as the custodian of every aspect of that portrayal. Tuisano is billed tenth in the TMDB cast list.
John Tui is credited as Kal, one of Luke Hobbs's brothers in Samoa, and he is billed eleventh. The family scenes he appears in were shaped with outside help, because David Leitch told Yahoo Entertainment that the production brought in cultural advisors, and that Hobbs coming from Samoa meant the team needed a rich world to build his character on.
Joshua Mauga is credited as Timo, one of Luke Hobbs's brothers in Samoa, and he is billed twelfth in the TMDB cast list. His character belongs to the family whose portrayal Dwayne Johnson oversaw, because Inverse reported that screenwriter Drew Pearce described Johnson as the custodian of every aspect of how the film showed Samoan families.
The Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw cast was built around two returning stars, with the new names announced through 2018 and into early 2019. UPI reported on July 6, 2018 that Idris Elba had been cast as the central villain, and that Universal had David Leitch, the Deadpool 2 director, attached to a script by Chris Morgan. Dwayne Johnson confirmed that news himself on Twitter, and in October 2018 he shared a first look at Elba as Brixton, as covered by the Motion Picture Association.
So, who followed Elba? Vanessa Kirby was introduced as Hattie Shaw in October 2018, when Johnson posted a photo from the set on Instagram, and Eddie Marsan joined from Deadpool 2, according to The Hollywood Reporter. In January 2019, Johnson announced on Instagram that Joe Anoa'i, the wrestler known as Roman Reigns and his cousin in real life, would play one of Hobbs's brothers, as WWE reported on January 23, 2019. Following it was a bit like watching a football team post its signings one by one before the season starts. For the plot, runtime and release details, see the hobbs and shaw film page.
Three principal actors return from earlier films, and the rest of the top billed cast is new to the franchise. TMDB credits Dwayne Johnson as Luke Hobbs and Jason Statham as Deckard Shaw in both Furious 7 (2015), directed by James Wan, and The Fate of the Furious (2017), directed by F. Gary Gray. Helen Mirren completes the trio, after an uncredited turn as Queenie in The Fate of the Furious.
The one recast is Sam Hobbs, played by Eden Estrella in those two films and by Eliana Su'a in this one. Idris Elba, Vanessa Kirby, Eiza González, Eddie Marsan and the actors playing the Hobbs family in Samoa all make their first franchise appearance here. For how this spinoff fits with the main saga, the fast and furious movies hub lists every film in release order.

Idris Elba plays the villain, Brixton, a former MI6 operative with cybernetic upgrades who frames Hattie Shaw and hunts her for the terror group Eteon. UPI reported on July 6, 2018 that he had been cast as the central villain. TMDB also credits Ryan Reynolds, billed 34th, as both the Eteon Director and Victor Locke.
Vanessa Kirby plays Hattie Shaw, the MI6 agent and sister of Deckard Shaw who carries the Snowflake virus. UPI reported in October 2018 that Dwayne Johnson introduced her in the role on Instagram, and that she was best known at the time for playing Princess Margaret in The Crown.
Yes, Helen Mirren plays Queenie Shaw, the mother of Deckard and Hattie, and she is billed fifth. TMDB lists her as Queenie, uncredited, in The Fate of the Furious (2017), so Hobbs & Shaw is her second appearance in the role and her first with a billed credit.
Yes, Roman Reigns is in Hobbs and Shaw, credited under his name Joe Anoa'i as Mateo, one of Hobbs's brothers. WWE reported on January 23, 2019 that Dwayne Johnson announced the casting on Instagram, with a photo of the two on set. Inverse notes that Anoa'i is Johnson's cousin in real life.
Eliana Su'a plays Sam Hobbs, the daughter of Luke Hobbs. She took over the part from Eden Estrella, whom TMDB credits as Samantha Hobbs in Furious 7 and as Sam in The Fate of the Furious. With a TMDB birth date of August 1, 2008, Su'a was 11 when the film opened in US theaters on August 2, 2019.
No, Hobbs and Shaw is a spinoff, so it focuses on Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw rather than the full ensemble of the main saga. Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham and Helen Mirren return in their earlier roles, the part of Sam Hobbs is recast, and the rest of the top billed cast is new to the franchise.
