Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw is easily one of the most anticipated films of the year. Bringing into focus two of the most loved action characters from the franchise, Dwayne Johnson’s Luke Hobbs and Jason Statham’s Deckard Shaw, the film is the ninth film from the blockbuster franchise. It also stars Idris Elba in a key role. Taking to his Instagram, Dwayne Johnson posted a video from behind-the-scenes and revealed an action sequence which no longer is part of the film.
The series has been known for some high octane action sequences involving cars and choppers. Johnson posted a clip on Instagram where he is seen fighting off a man holding a metal object. Along with this video, the Baywatch actor wrote a note about the part of the action scene that has been deleted from the film. He wrote, " lil’ behind the scenes taste of the HOBBS & SHAW savagery that takes place in SAMOA. This bludgeoning will be in the film, but unfortunately the scene where I bite the bad guy’s eye out and spit it on the dirt didn’t make it."
