I hope theyll be nice to me.

Then again, Mirren has wanted to make a pit stop in aFast and Furiousfilm for years.

My great ambition is to be in aFast and Furiousmovie, the actress toldYahoo Moviesin March 2015.

Isowant to be a mad driver in aFast and Furiousmovie.

But sadly for Mirren,Fast 8wont feature her behind the steering wheel.

I wanted to be driving, but unfortunately, Im not, she says, shrugging.

Maybe that will come in the future, inFast and Furious 12.

Im probably one of the few people on the set who know how to drive a gear shift car.

Idoubtthe Rock knows, she jokes.

I know how to double declutch.

MaybeFast 8writers should rethink sidelining Mirren…

Fast 8speeds into theaters April 14, 2017.
