Earlier today, we were lucky enough to catch up with Renée Elise Goldsberry to discuss her role as Ms. Nowhere in the upcoming fifth season of Fast & Furious: Spy Racers (which launches on Netflix tomorrow, August 13). Of course, we're sure you'll also recognise the actress from her Emmy-nominated performance in Hamilton on Disney+ and as Quellcrist Falconer in Altered Carbon.
Back in April, it was reported that Goldsberry had joined the cast of Marvel Studios' She-Hulk as a character referred to only as "Amelia." That's led to a lot of speculation about who she could be playing, and it's impossible to imagine Marvel Studios wasting such a talented performer on a bit part.
While we had Renée on the phone, we obviously had to ask if she could tease anything about her role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. "[Laughs] Talk about franchises. I love the Fast & Furious franchise and I was marvelling right before our call about what it feels like to be part of this series in this very unique space. The Marvel Universe is also a franchise I’m a huge fan of, specifically because of the similarities it has with the Fast & Furious franchise: it’s something I can enjoy with my children."
"So, yeah, I can’t talk at all about being involved in the Marvel Universe [Laughs] but the similarities of being able to sit down with my kids and laugh and go on a crazy adventure is one of my favourite things to do," she continued. "I’d love to be part of that universe if it was also a possibility..."
We're guessing Goldsberry will be part of She-Hulk, but given the secretive nature of the MCU, it's hardly a surprise that the actress is forced to choose her words carefully. With the series about to move into post-production, an official cast announcement hopefully isn't too far away, but in the meantime, we'd strongly suggest checking out Ms. Nowhere in action in Fast & Furious: Spy Racers!
