The trailer for Fast 9 (F9) not only introduced the world to John Cena’s Jakob Toretto and revealed that Sung Kang’s Han was still alive, but it reminded us all that — oh yeah! — Oscar-winner Charlize Theron was also still a part of this saga, as her villainous hacker, Cipher, didn’t get killed off or captured at the end of The Fate of the Furious.
With the franchise notably featuring two Academy Award winners, Theron and Dame Helen Mirren (who also appeared in spinoff Hobbs and Shaw), MTV International asked star Vin Diesel if there were any other acclaimed actors he’d love to bring into the “family.”
Diesel’s reply, when it comes to a “bucket list” celebrity to bring into the fold was “Dame Judi Dench.”
“I think she’d be awesome,” he said in a British accent.

Before you throw this idea away as an impossible dream, consider that Diesel co-starred with Oscar-winner Dench in 2004’s The Chronicles of Riddick, and that she’s done popcorn action fare from seven Bond movies to 2011’s Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
Vin Diesel also recently hinted that Fast 10 could be split into two films, potentially marking the conclusion of the Fast saga.
