Idris Elba comes out gun blazing in first look in Hobbs & Shaw
Brixton is the name and he’s here to bring the pain to Hobbs and Shaw. Dwayne Johnson revealed an exclusive first look at Idris Elba’s villain character in the Fast and Furious spinoff.
There’s something about Brixton’s outfit that reminds me of one of my earliest favorite GI Joe characters — Flash.
I don’t normally see that waffle pattern on armor these days. And Brixton’s henchman kinda remind me of Cobra Vipers too. At this rate that’s probably the only way we’ll see GI Joe and Cobra characters on the big screen anytime soon.

It seems like it’s been a while since Elba has played the bad guy — at least on screen. He was the cruel Commandant in Beasts of No Nation back in 2015. The Fast and Furious franchise seems to be upping the quality of its villains since Jason Statham first rolled in. Elba could be the best one yet though as he’s got the presence and stature to match up with Johnson and Statham.
I’m looking forward to Hobbs and Shaw, which is set for an Aug. 2, 2019 release. What do you think of Elba as Brixton?
