There’s little words can do to describe the sheer ridiculousness of this trailer. “Cowboy up!” Dwayne Johnson shouts at one point; in another moment, he’s straddling a chain levied between a helicopter and four cars tethered together. Idris Elba T-poses and shouts, “I’m black Superman,” and later dives out of a jet and into an abandoned nuclear reactor. Jason Statham is somehow the straight man in all of this, gravely accusing Johnson of hitting on his sister while wearing a combat-ready turtleneck.
Seriously, Hobbs & Shaw looks like the pristinely stupid summer blockbuster that we need right now. It’s out on Aug. 2. Behold the flick’s final trailer in all its glory below, plus a new poster that’s downright understated by comparison.
