Helen Mirren has won an Oscar, multiple Emmys and several Golden Globes, but there’s one thing still on her bucket list.

“My great ambition is to be in a Fast and Furious movie,” she told Yahoo. “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 have to say Vin Diesel is brilliant,” she continued. “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. I’d also love to do another Red-type movie, because those are such fun to do.”

Furious 7 hasn’t even opened yet, but when your movie is tracking to break box office records, you can be forgiven for jumping the gun a little bit. And that’s exactly what franchise stalwart Vin Diesel just did, dropping a few tidbits about what we can expect from Fast & Furious 8, including a new location and a beefed up role for one new character.
