Oscar-winner Mirren is one of the big new additions to the Fast & Furious 8 cast list - after revealing last year that she would love a role in the franchise.

And her wish was granted when it was revealed that she was joining the cast of the eighth instalment, which will hit the big screen next year.

The movie sees her team up with Diesel, who is reprising the role of Dominic Toretto, and he has taken to Instagram to post a picture of the pair.

Alongside the image, he wrote: "Such a joy and an honor working with Helen Mirren... Happy Toretto Tursday!"

Mirren may be on board, but the actress has already revealed that we will not be seeing her behind the wheel of a car in the movie - which is a little disappointing.

And Mirren is not the only new face on the cast list as Charlize Theron is also on board as villain Cipher.

Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Nathalie Emmanuel, Michelle Rodriguez, and Tyrese Gibson are some of the other familiar names who are back.

It is also all change in the director's chair as F. Gary Gray takes over the helm for the first time.

The release of Fast 8 comes two years after the release of Fast & Furious 7, which grossed over $1 billion at the global box office.

Fast & Furious 8 is released 14th April 2017.
