On Thursday, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson shared a new teaser for the upcoming Fast & Furious spinoff on Instagram-and seized the opportunity to make fun of Statham's "tiny" brain.
In the caption of the video, The Rock wrote:
"My asshole partner @jasonstatham likes European exotic sports cars that are tiny ~ like his brain. I prefer big American toys that straight up wreck shit ~ because I enjoy being subtle. The biggest showdown of the summer hits AUGUST 2nd."
Zing.

Hobbs & Shaw follows the titular odd couple (played by Johnson and Statham, respectively) as they team up to take on Brixton (played by Idris Elba), a genetically-enhanced terrorist in possession of a dangerous biological threat. Of course, our heroes will also have to deal with their personal beef as they fight to save the day.

While The Rock likes to poke fun at Statham- see: when he called him a "pasty asshole" in another Instagram post -in real life, the two seem to like each other a whole lot. In a January Instagram post, Statham thanked his co-star for making the movie happen.
"A massive thank you to @therock for making this movie happen and for being the toughest, funniest, mountain of muscle Ive had the pleasure of standing toe to toe with," he wrote. "This one I shall remember brother!"
