Yahoo News The Rock promises 'greatest fight in movie history'
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has teased "the greatest fight in the history of movies" between him and his Fast & Furious co-star Jason Statham, and we can't bloody wait.
Celebrating Fast 8's second week at the global top spot, Johnson took to Instagram to tease the mother of all fights, seemingly in a nod to the pair's upcoming Hobbs and Shaw spin-off.
Yep, Jason and Dwayne Johnson are said to be reuniting with screenwriter Chris Morgan for a Fast & Furious spin-off while Universal works on ideas for the series' next official sequel.
So now that Stath is all but officially confirmed to stand off against an actual, y'know, professional wrestler, we think it's time he came up with his own persona.
Thankfully, Dwayne has a few good ideas himself. We bring you: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson vs Jason 'Crumpet Eating' Statham.

In the post, Dwayne thanked fans of the franchise for supporting its latest instalment, as well as the cast and crew – including "a very very special shout out" to Jason.
"And finally, a very very special shout out to a certain bald headed, English tea drinkin', crumpets eatin', God Save The Queen singin' suuuuuum bitch, Jason Statham," he wrote.
"One fine day, we will give the audience what they want and fight. And it will be the greatest fight in the history of movies.
"We will then drink like brothers as you nurse your wounds, because I'm gonna knock your teeth so far down your throat, you're gonna have to stick a toothbrush up your ass to brush 'em. Thanks for trusting me brotha and cheers to always having fun for audience. "
(Note to self: never borrow Jason's toothbrush.)
