The Thor actor was on hand to host the screening, which took place at Regal Cinema in New York.
Hobbs & Shaw, which is regarded as a spinoff to the incredibly popular Fast & Furious franchise, pairs stars Jason Statham and Dwayne Johnson against Elba’s villainous character, who at one point in the trailer refers to himself as ‘the black Superman.’
Fast & Furious has thusfar spawned eight installments, with a ninth one on the way in 2020.
Earlier on Monday, Elba was seen on his way to the screening, where he opted for Lacoste slip-on sandals in lieu of the sneakers.
