A new image from Fast Five (the forth sequel to 2001’s The Fast and the Furious) has roared online ahead of tomorrow’s new trailer and features two of its muscle-bound leads.

Dwayne Johnson makes his debut with the franchise, and judging by the US box office receipts of his latest high-speed action vehicle, Faster (out of the top ten in three weeks, having earned a little over mil) the artist formally known as The Rock is desperately in need of a hit. He’s playing the role here of a tough, no nonsense cop called Hobbs, who is hot on the trail of the street racers Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Tyrese Gibson.

The makers probably felt it was beneficial to give Johnson the goatee as otherwise, audiences may have difficulties distinguishing between him and Diesel! They are both incredibly similar, particularly now that Johnson is shaven-headed.

Director Justin Lin is back onboard (having helmed the two previous films in the series) and the film is due for release in the UK on 10 June next year.
