Writer and filmmaker Chris Morgan recently gave an update on a new movie focused on the character Lucas “Luke” Hobbs from the Fast & Furious universe, hinting that the movie is still in the works, but might not be next up.

What did Chris Morgan say about a Hobbs movie?

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter recently, Morgan — who has written on seven Fast & Furious projects, including 2019’s Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw — was asked about the status of a Hobbs-centric project. Morgan said he wasn’t the right person to talk to when it comes to that.

“That’s really something the studio would have to speak to. We’re talking about what comes when and how, but I’ll leave that to greater minds than mine,” said Morgan.

Morgan would also go on to say that he is currently working on a script to a “Hobbs & Shaw kind” of project, but wouldn’t go into much detail beyond that. It’s unclear whether or not the film is a movie tied to the Fast & Furious franchise, or its own separate thing.

“It’s under lock and key. I can say that I’m working on a Hobbs & Shaw kind of script. So we’ll see where that goes, but I’m excited about it,” Morgan said. “We also have a project [called Deputy X] that we’re doing at Universal with Glen Powell. Will Beall just wrote an awesome draft, and it feels like we’re gearing up for a big fun franchise. I have another action thing that I’m thinking about writing. But one of my passions is horror, and I would like to do one great horror movie someday. Basically, every night, I’m watching some new horror movie. Again, I worked at a video store for ten years. So I’ve been through all of them, and I never get bored of horror. I just love it.”
