Development

In November 2015, Vin Diesel announced in an interview with Variety that potential spin-offs for The Fast and the Furious series were in the early stages of development.[3] A spin-off film centered around characters Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw was announced in October 2017 by Universal Pictures and set a release date of July 26, 2019 with Chris Morgan returning to write the script.[4] Variety reported that Shane Black was being considered to direct the film.[5] The announcement of the spin-off provoked a response on Instagram by Tyrese Gibson, criticizing Johnson for causing the ninth Fast & Furious film to be delayed for another year.[6] In February 2018, Deadpool 2 director David Leitch entered talks to direct the film.[7] In April 2018, Leitch was confirmed as the director for the film and added David Scheunemann as a production designer.[8][9]

In July 2018, Vanessa Kirby was cast in the film to play an MI6 agent and Shaw's sister, along with Idris Elba to play the main villain role in the film.[10][11] In October 2018, Eddie Marsan joined the cast of the film.[12] In November 2018, Eiza Gonzalez joined the cast of the film.[13] In January 2019, Johnson revealed that his cousin Roman Reigns would appear in the film as Hobbs' brother.[14] Additionally, he announced that Cliff Curtis, Josh Mauga, and John Tui would also portray brothers of Hobbs.[15] Helen Mirren was also confirmed to be reprising her role from The Fate of the Furious.[16]

Filming

Principal photography began on September 10, 2018, in London, England.[17][18] Dwayne Johnson joined the production two weeks later, on September 24, 2018, after wrapping Jungle Cruise.[19] In October, filming moved to Glasgow to recreate London.[20] Filming also took place in late 2018 at Eggborough Power Station, North Yorkshire.[21] Production officially completed on January 27, 2019.[22]
