"I said, 'I'll be in it, but only if I'm allowed to drive in it,'" she said during her Elle interview published Wednesday. "But we'll see."

"My great ambition is to be in a Fast and Furiousmovie," she told Yahoo Movies in 2015. "I sowant to be a mad driver in a Fast and Furiousmovie. 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. I have to say Vin Diesel is brilliant. 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."

Mirren now joins a stacked cast that includes longtime lead Diesel, Jason Statham, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Scott Eastwood, Tyrese Gibson, Charlize Theron, Ludacris and more. 

Fast 8 will hit theaters on April 14, 2017.
