Filming has officially wrapped on “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw,” the first spin-off film of the “Fast and Furious” franchise which stars Dwayne Johnson as Luke Hobbs and Jason Statham as Deckard Shaw.

Johnson shared the news on Friday and in a statement said it was “easily the most challenging film I’ve ever produced and starred in… [it] is also shaping up to be my most rewarding.”

David Leitch (“Deadpool 2,” “Atomic Blonde”) helms the film which is set two years after the events of “The Fate of the Furious”. U.S. Diplomatic Security Agent Luke Hobbs (Johnson) joins forces with mercenary Deckard Shaw (Statham) as they work to stop a new threat – international ‘super-human’ terrorist Brixton (played by Idris Elba).

Vanessa Kirby and Eiza Gonzalez co-star in the film which opens August 2nd.

Last men standing. HOBBS & SHAW is officially wrapped. Easily the most challenging film I’ve ever produced and starred in, however based on the fans’ insanely hyped “break the internet” reactions to our first trailer — this film is also shaping up to be my most rewarding. A HUGE bald and brotherly MAHALO to the man who trusted me and our chemistry and “pushed all his chips in” to make something bad ass and fun for the fans. My uso @jasonstatham. He’s one legit talented and tough bastard and the pure joy I got from making him laugh so fucking hard during the our takes he couldn’t even talk, I will always remember with evil glee. Finally, one of the best heli pilots in the world @fred_north demonstrating here our extreme commitment we all had to deliver the goods to our worldwide audience. #ThatsAWrap #LastMenStanding #AllChipsIn #HOBBSANDSHAW AUGUST 2nd @sevenbucksprod
