Helen Mirren Believes She'll Return For Fast & Furious 10
Helen Mirren shares her hopes and belief that she will return for 2023's Fast & Furious 10. The sequel has been newly dubbed Fast X as filming gets underway. Originally starting as a riff on the Point Break formula with 2001's The Fast & the Furious, the series has expanded into a cultural juggernaut with ten films and counting, with an ever-expanding cast of new and returning characters. Justin Lin is back on board as director for Fast & Furious 10 and its subsequent sequel, both of which will cap off the main franchise. They will premiere on May 19, 2023 and sometime in 2024, respectively.
The Fast & Furious franchise has a knack for attracting an impressive array of movie stars, starting with Dwayne Johnson's arrival in Fast Five in 2011. Fast & Furious 10 is set to continue the trend with the already announced Brie Larson andJason Mamoa joining; her in a mystery role, him as the upcoming film's villain. Among the more unique of the franchise's additions was Dame Helen Mirren as Magdalene “Queenie” Shaw. She has appeared in The Fate of the Furious, F9, and the spinoff Hobbs & Shaw as the mother of Deckard (Jason Statham), Hattie (Vanessa Kirby) and Owen (Luke Evans) Shaw.
