August 2026 – Brother vs. brother. Family vs. fury.
Universal has officially revealed new plot details for “Hobbs & Shaw 2,” and the twist no one expected is at the center:
This time, it’s not just about saving the world —
It’s about saving Dominic Toretto.
Yes, the story of Hobbs & Shaw 2 revolves around a dark mission to rescue Dom — not from death, but from manipulation. A dangerous new threat has taken control of Dom’s mind, and only Hobbs and Shaw can bring him back.
🧨 Plot Overview: Mind Games & Muscle
After the events of Fast 11, Dom vanishes. No messages. No calls. No trace.
But intelligence surfaces: he’s alive — and working with a syndicate known as RED VANE, a rogue deep-state unit that uses neurotech to brainwash operatives into fighting for their cause.
The world believes Dom turned traitor.
Only Hobbs refuses to believe it.
Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson):
“That ain’t Dom. Not the Dom I knew.
He’s still in there — and I’m gonna get him out.”

The deeper Hobbs and Shaw dig, the more they realize that Dom may not want to be saved.

Now… I bury what’s left of it.”
