Dame Helen Mirren is being lined up to play a foul-mouthed monarch.

The Last Station actress has been approached by Quentin Tarantino to play an aggressive queen in his upcoming movie - which is expected to be set in England’s Middle Ages.

“It will feature his trademarks - bloody violence and foul language. Helen has never worked with Tarantino and is interested. If the film goes into production it’s likely she will play a part,” a source told The Sun newspaper.

The 64-year-old actress, who won an Oscar for her portrayal of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II in The Queen, admitted she would love to do sequel because portraying the long-serving monarch was one of her most satisfying roles.

“The Queen was such an individual, idiosyncratic film. It was one of a kind. You can’t repeat that. People have asked, ‘Is there going to be a sequel?’ Yes, let’s do the golden jubilee. That would be interesting,” Mirren said.

Helen also played a queen in 2005 when she starred in Elizabeth I, a British TV mini-series which looked at the second half of the royal’s 45-year-long reign over the UK and Commonwealth.
