The Fast and Furious spin-off Hobbs & Shaw hits theaters August 2nd and so far we've received one trailer and a few behind scenes looks at what 's to expect. Today, however, the latest trailer has arrived and we get to see Idris Elba make his ''Black Superman" debut, as he pulls out his weapons to fight Hobbs and Shaw. 

Idris' character is a genetically enhanced soldier who has an army to aid him in his battles, making the second trailer filled with even more intense action scenes that's set to come.

“It was a really cool film to make, working with Dwayne and Jason, who make high-octane films quite a bit, way more than me,” Idris previously said when discussing his role in the movie.

“It was great to watch them work and learn from them. David Leitch, the director, was a complete draw for me; I love him and I think he’s a fantastic director. I was given free reign to make a character that hopefully sits in the zeitgeist of the Fast world, but just feels a little bit elevated. My character borders on the lines of scientific and I think that is quite an exciting area for the Fast franchise to go. This guy is a mean motherf—er, and I had a lot of fun playing him.”
