Helen Mirren Wants To Be in the Last ‘Fast and Furious’ Movie
Helen Mirren has been in four of Vin Diesel's Fast and Furious films as Magdalene "Queenie" Shaw, and she's hoping she'll return for the final film
Helen Mirren is eager to join the final "Fast and Furious" movie, Fast Forever. Since the 2023 cliffhanger in Fast X, fans have been eagerly awaiting the next installment, which is expected to be released in 2028. Though a Peacock TV show is also set for 2028, Fast Forever will likely be the last theatrical film in the franchise.
With the series wrapping up, many fans are hoping to see beloved characters like Vin Diesel's Luke Hobbs and Jason Statham's Deckard Shaw return. However, Mirren herself is particularly keen to see her character, militia leader Magdalene Queenie Ellmanson-Shaw, also known as her mother to Statham's character, make a brief appearance.
When asked about her potential return by co-star Alden Ehrenreich, Mirren playfully replied that they "sort of squeeze me in somewhere," attributing the opportunity to Vin Diesel's kindness. Mirren has appeared in four of the Fast and Furious films, with her role initially secured after a chance meeting with Diesel at a party where she begged for a part.
Despite her earlier involvement, Mirren remains excited for her possible brief return in the final chapter of the franchise.
