We still don't know that much about what Fast & Furious spin-off Hobbs And Shaw's plot will actually be, but if we're honest, that's not really the point. All we're really worried about is the latest match-up between Dwayne Johnson's Hobbs and Jason Statham's Shaw. And the villain? That would be Idris Elba's... Brixton, who we meet via the picture above.

The image arrives, as almost everything from the in-production film has, so far, from Johnson's Instagram account. And yes, he's named Brixton, introduced thusly in the picture's caption...

"The name: BRIXTON.

The record: UNDEFEATED.

The promise: SHOWDOWN OF ALL SHOWDOWNS."

John Wick and Atomic Blonde director David Leitch is the man marshalling the madness, with Vanessa Kirby and Eddie Marsan among the cast. We can't wait for the sequel, where Pudding Lane causes trouble for the main characters.

Hobbs And Shaw will punch its way to UK cinemas on 26 July next year.
