Hobbs & Shaw arrives in theaters this Friday and it’s fair to say that fans of the Fast and Furious series are excited to see the spinoff featuring Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham, which will have them battling a villainous Idris Elba. Of course, the film is said to be chock full of celebrity cameos as well and not one or two but four post-credit scenes that set up potential sequels and tease what lies ahead for the franchise.
According to Express, among the well-known faces that make a cameo in the pic are Ryan Reynolds, playing smartass Agent Lock who goes toe-to-toe with the movie’s heroes while making jokes worthy of a Deadpool film. Dwayne Johnson’s bestie Kevin Hart, meanwhile, also makes an appearance as a US Air Marshall trying to be a part of Hobbs’ gang. Finally, also in the mix are Eddie Marsan and Rob Delaney, both of whom appeared in Deadpool 2.
Aside from these exciting cameos, though, Hobbs & Shaw features multiple post-credits scenes as well, and the first one has Helen Mirren’s Magdalene Shaw reunite with her children Deckard and Hattie in a touching Shaw family reunion.
The next two scenes then have Reynolds’ Agent Lock duking it out with Hobbs while continuing to make jokes even as the fight becomes more and more bloody. The final scene at the end of the credits, meanwhile, comes back to the film’s titular characters. The Rock and Statham show off their hilarious chemistry as they work on an assignment while continuing to indulge in a game of one-upmanship.
Clearly, there are some seeds being planted here for a possible sequel where Deckard and Shaw team up once again to save the day. Whether or not a follow-up is made depends on the reception the first film gets, of course, but with early projections looking rosy and reviews being mostly positive, we have a pretty good feeling we’ll be seeing another Hobbs & Shaw race into theaters in the near future.
