Take a hike, Jason Statham — a new actor has announced that they’d like to play the villain in a future Fast and Furious installment, and it’s definitely not a name that anyone saw coming. Helen Mirren recently told Yahoo! Movies, “My great ambition is to be in a Fast and Furious movie. I so want to be a mad driver in a Fast and Furious movie. My claim to fame is I always do my own driving — I was on Top Gear, and I did [my lap] in a very good time. I keep putting it out there, and they never ask me. I’ll be in Fast and Furious 8.” The subject came up as Mirren was discussing the increase in good female action leads for young girls. Mirren added, “I love Vin Diesel. He’s a great guy, smart — I love him. It’s partly because of him I’d like to be in one, but also the driving.”
