Dwayne Johnson’s Answer to DC’s Deathstroke and Bane Movie Is Officially Free to Stream

While DC is reportedly working on a team-up movie between two antagonists, Dwayne Johnson already did that with Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw back in 2019. Directed by David Leitch, the film was a spinoff centered on Johnson and Jason Statham’s roles in the franchise and earned $760 million at the box office (via Box Office Mojo).

The action comedy is now available to watch for free on Tubi TV with ads. The timing is pretty notable as DC Studios is reportedly working on a film with Deathstroke and Bane. Both projects bet on the same appeal: two fighters who would rather fight each other than cooperate, forced to team up anyway. Here is where to watch Johnson’s version and what is known about DC’s.

As of October 8, Hobbs and Shaw is streaming on Hulu, YouTube TV, and for free with ads on Tubi TV. The Tubi listing shows availability until November 1, 2026, so the free window is limited. Renting remains an option elsewhere, since Amazon Prime Video lists a rental price of $3.99.

Dwayne Johnson began his role as Luke Hobbs in Fast Five and has since been a staple in the franchise. He recently returned for a cameo in Fast X, where he appeared in a post-credits scene. While he is a DSS agent in the franchise, he is recruited by the CIA in Hobbs & Shaw and is made to team up with Deckard Shaw, an ex-MI6 agent.

Much like other films by Leitch, like Bullet Train and The Fall Guy, this one is also a fun romp held together by incredible action and the chemistry of Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham. The constant one-upmanship between these former enemies, forced to work together against the antagonist played by Idris Elba, is a pleasure to watch.

The film was a hit at the box office, earning $760 million. Rotten Tomatoes was another story, with critics giving it a 67% on the Tomatometer while audiences gave it 88%. Johnson has been part of the DC universe before, playing Black Adam in the eponymous box office bomb (figures are as of October 8, 2026). While the franchise gears up for its own version of Hobbs & Shaw, Johnson can say that he got there first.

DC’s Deathstroke and Bane Movie Officially Gets a Title

It is a bit of a tumultuous time for DC Studios as its parent company, Warner Bros., merges with Paramount to form Skydance Media. While James Gunn and Peter Safran remain in their positions as co-heads of DC Studios, the projects they plan to greenlight and fast-track have been a point of contention. One of them is the planned Deathstroke and Bane movie.

Bane has been shown twice in live-action: once, terribly, in Batman & Robin and again in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises, played to divisive responses by Tom Hardy. Deathstroke, on the other hand, has primarily thrived on TV; while Joe Manganiello played Slade Wilson in post-credits and alternate cuts of Justice League, his planned standalone appearances were scrapped amid DCEU shakeups.

Deadline reported that the planned film was one of the projects that were in early development when Paramount heads Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein took over the WB slate planned by Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy. It has a title: Savage Hunters, which Deadline reported as the Deathstroke and Bane movie.

While the priority for the new studio is reportedly making Barbie 2 happen with the same cast and crew as the original, DC projects that are being prioritized are the Batman: Brave and the Bold movie, Swamp Thing, a Wonder Woman reboot, and a live-action Teen Titans movie. If these projects do take off, the DCU will be pretty interesting in the coming years.
