Helen Mirren Wants To Be in the Last ‘Fast and Furious’ Movie
Helen Mirren has expressed interest in reprising her role as militia leader Magdalene “Queenie” Ellma in Fast Forever, the planned final theatrical installment of the Fast and Furious franchise. The film is expected to release in 2028, nearly five years after Fast X concluded on a cliffhanger involving Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his son Brian caught in an exploding dam sequence. While the franchise has announced a Peacock TV series also coming in 2028, Fast Forever is expected to be the franchise’s last major film release. The announcement has sparked widespread speculation about which characters will return for the finale, with fans anticipating returns of major cast members like Dwayne Johnson (Luke Hobbs) and Jason Statham (Deckard Shaw). Mirren’s potential involvement would mark another appearance in the long-running action franchise, continuing her role in a series that has become a cultural phenomenon. The extended wait for the final installment reflects the franchise’s significant production demands and post-production requirements for a film intended to serve as a conclusive chapter to the theatrical saga.
