Given the brilliance of The Rock and Jason Statham's banter in The Fate of the Furious, it's not remotely surprising that their characters are being teamed up for a buddy spin-off movie (much to the chagrin of Tyrese).

Directed by John Wick and Deadpool 2's David Leitch with a script from usual F&F scribe Chris Morgan, all the ingredients are here for a wilfully ludicrous expansion of the series.

And if all that's not enough, recently-departed MCU vet Idris Elba - assuming time travel doesn't revive Heimdall, anyway - will play the film's criminal mastermind antagonist, hilariously named Brixton, because of course he is.
