The last time Dwayne Johnson fired up his hugely popular Instagram account to share an image of his latest, Fast & Furious spin-off Hobbs And Shaw, he hadn't even set foot on set yet. He's actually showed up for work now, and above you can see him staring at Jason Statham.

It looks like the pair's partnership is going to lean more closely towards the "uneasy" level, but hopefully they'll be able to put aside practicing their Paddington hard stares* long enough to actually fight some bad guys. Plot details are scarce beyond the guys on a mission, but we're promised something a little darker and more grounded than your average Fast film. Which is not all that hard...

David Leitch is in the director's chair, and Collider reports that he's bringing over Eddie Marsan, who appeared in his last movie, Atomic Blonde. We don't know exactly what he'll be up to, but it appears to be a "small yet significant role". He joins a cast that includes Vanessa Kirby as Shaw's sister and Idris Elba as the villain. It's shooting now, and aiming for a 26 July release next year.

*If someone wanted to photoshop Paddington into the middle of those two, that is something we'd enjoy.
