<p>Dame Helen Mirren would have no hesitations about strapping on the guns for a Red sequel.</p>
<p>The Oscar-winning actress would gladly reprise her action woman role as deadly assassin Victoria for a rumoured follow-up to the 2010 film, which she starred in with Bruce Willis, John Malkovich and Mary-Louise Parker.</p>
<p>&#8220;I hope so &#8211; if they get a great script and they want me in it, I&#8217;ll be there, definitely,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>&#8220;That was great! Nobody else saw me as a feisty action heroine! But I always saw myself as that &#8211; totally,&#8221; she added.</p>
<p>Helen, who plays Prospera in Julie Taymor&#8217;s big-screen adaptation of The Tempest, fancies portraying Shakespearian anti-hero Hamlet.</p>
<p>&#8220;I want to play Hamlet but I can&#8217;t play Hamlet. There are not many roles (in Shakespeare) for women,&#8221; she continued.</p>
<p>Any mention of the female roles has the actress shying away.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t particularly want to do Gertrude (Hamlet&#8217;s mother). The world of Gertrude&#8217;s thought is not very interesting; the world of Ophelia&#8217;s thought is not very interesting at all.&#8221;</p>
<p>The 65-year-old added: &#8220;The world of Lady Macbeth&#8217;s thought is interesting because it&#8217;s so f****d up but it&#8217;s not poetically inspiring. You don&#8217;t get to say speeches like some of the speeches I got to say as Prospero/a.&#8221;</p>
<p>:: The Tempest is in cinemas now.</p>
