We’ve just received the confirmed bonus features for Universal Pictures Home Entertainment’s Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, led by Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham, which will be in the stores just in time for Christmas. The film has just left cinemas where it has grossed a whopping $750 million plus and even managed to top the global box-office for four consecutive weekends.
The street date is 22nd November for digital and then 2nd December for the physical formats. There are 80 minutes of bonus stuff, and there’s also a director’s commentary.
The official synopsis, if you’ve missed it.
Ever since hulking lawman Hobbs (Johnson), a loyal agent of America’s Diplomatic Security Service, and lawless outcast Shaw (Statham), a former British military elite operative, first faced off in 2015’s Furious 7, the duo have swapped smack talk and body blows as they’ve tried to take each other down. But when cyber-genetically enhanced anarchist Brixton (Idris Elba) gains control of an insidious bio-threat that could alter humanity forever and bests a brilliant and fearless rogue MI6 agent (The Crown’s Vanessa Kirby), who just happens to be Shaw’s sister, these two sworn enemies will have to partner up to bring down the only guy who might be badder than themselves. Hobbs & Shaw blasts open a new door in the Fast universe as it hustles action across the globe from Los Angeles to London and the toxic wasteland of Chernobyl to the lush beauty of Samoa.
