We couldn’t be more thrilled on seeing Vanessa expanding her character’s choice! She has been cast to join Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham on Hobbs and Shaw, a ‘Fast and Furious’ spin off.
With her reign as Princess Margaret on Netflix’s acclaimed series “The Crown” officially over, Vanessa Kirby is taking her talents to the big screen. The British actress is in final negotiations to star opposite Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham in “Fast and Furious” spinoff, “Hobbs and Shaw.”
Kirby will play an MI-5 agent and Shaw’s sister. It’s set to hit theaters on July 26, 2019.
