Then there is British actress Dame Helen Mirren, who is pretty much confirmed to play the role of villainess and shall be responsible for the release from prison of Deckard Shaw, previously played in “Fast & Furious 7” by Jason Statham.
The third female character is Ruby Rose of “Orange is the New Black.” She is the breakout star of Season 3 of American drama-comedy TV series on Netflix this year while playing the role of inmate Stella Carlin. Her performance as Stella made her practically a household name.
Apparently, Ruby Rose already auditioned for a part in “Fast & Furious 7” a few years ago but was rejected because one of the cast members allegedly described her as someone who looks like pop singer Justin Bieber.
There have been reports that Angelina Jolie will be joining the cast members of “Fast & Furious 8” because apparently, Michelle Rodriguez wants to realize her dream of co-starring with Angelina Jolie as another badass cast member just like her.
While there is still no confirmation about Angelina Jolie becoming the new cast member of the “Fast & Furious” franchise, if the decision is up to Vin Diesel as one of the producers of the upcoming eighth installment, then he would likely greenlight Michelle’s notion because it is a good casting idea.
