They’ve been busy filming the upcoming Fast and Furious spin-off, Hobbs & Shaw, around the UK.
And now the film franchise has moved onto its next location and began shooting the high-octane instalment in Glasgow, Scotland on Wednesday.
Noticeably absent from the film set were movie stars Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Jason Statham with their highly-skilled stunt doubles instead performing an array of dangerous stunts.

Recently, The Rock revealed just how hard he has been working in preparation for his role as he showed off his physical transformation on social media.
The actor, 46, took to Instagram to share an eye-popping shirtless snap of himself at the gym, where he revealed he now weighed 260 pounds.
Crediting his incredible physique to dedication to his fitness and eating habits, Dwayne thanked his coach, his ‘inner circle’, and fans for helping him get into fighting shape.
‘Dialed in & hit the mark. 260lbs of attitude & classy cuss words. After 18 weeks of disciplined diet & intense training, here’s where I landed my carcass for shooting my FAST & FURIOUS spin-off HOBBS & SHAW.

‘Always room for improvements, but not too bad for a scarred up surgically repaired Brahma Bull who’s injuries always tell the story.’
For as hard as Dwayne has been working on his fitness, he playfully revealed he was still enjoying a nightly tequila.
‘Thanks for rockin’ with me — let’s have some fun and take this HOBBS & SHAW franchise to the next level. #HardestWorkerInTheRoom #Hobbs #NightlyTequilaDrinker,’ he wrote.
Earlier this month, Dwayne gave fans a first look of the movie as he shared a snap of him and Jason, staring each other down.
‘We either gonna get along or we gonna get it on. F**k getting along (devil emoticon). Great first week of shooting our Fast & Furious spin-off, “HOBBS & SHAW” with my ace @jasonstatham. We’re havin’ a blast disrupting the norm to deliver something fresh, cool, fun and bad a** for the fans.’
