Surprising absolutely nobody, the banter game between Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham is absolutely on point in this trailer, building on the easy rapport they demonstrated in The Fate of the Furious.

This is clearly going to be the most buddy cop-esque element of the movie, and the trailer is gleefully jam-packed with hysterical back-and-forth between the title characters as they mock one another's physical traits and personalities to delightfully charming effect.

Both actors have proven themselves mighty comedic talents in the past, and their riffing was one of the highlights of the last Fast & Furious movie, so there's no reason to doubt it'll be absolute gravy this time.
