It's official, the Fast & Furious spin-off Hobbs & Shaw has wrapped filming.

This one's set to bring Dwayne Johnson's hard-hitting Luke Hobbs and The Meg hero Jason Statham's Deckard Shaw into close combat, before teaming up to battle a common enemy in Idris Elba's superhuman villain, Brixton.

The news of production coming to an end was announced via Johnson's Instagram feed, which has proven to be fertile ground for movie exclusives recently.

Attached to a dramatic image of a low-floating helicopter above the two main men, his caption states: "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 f**king hard during the our takes he couldn't even talk, I will always remember with evil glee," Johnson continued.

The Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle actor also spared some room to heap praise on the new movie's helicopter pilot, writing: "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"

Hobbs & Shaw will be released on August 2, 2019.
