Movie studios usually blitz viewers with trailers on Super Bowl Sunday, but this year’s telecast isn’t expected to feature as many of them as usual. Universal jumped the gun with “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw,” releasing the first promotional clip for the Dwayne Johnson-Jason Statham spinoff two days before it’s set to air during the big game.

The Rams and Patriots will be hard-pressed to top this nearly three-minute teaser when it comes to pure action. The “Fast & Furious” franchise has grown beyond its car-chase roots, and this latest installment adds a sci-fi twist, as Idris Elba plays a genetically engineered supervillain. Archrival trackers Hobbs (Johnson) and Shaw (Statham) must team up to stop his evil plan.

Amusingly set to the tune of War’s 1975 hit “Why Can’t We Be Friends?” the trailer contrasts the styles of the American Hobbs, who declares, “I’m an ice-cold can of whup-ass,” and the British Shaw, who uses a champagne bottle to bludgeon bad guys.

There’s no sign of Helen Mirren, who will reprise her role from “The Fate of the Furious” (2017) as Hobbs’s mom, but Vanessa Kirby (Princess Margaret on the first two seasons of the Netflix drama “The Crown”) does get in on the action as his sister.
