In a movie year that brings Helen fans characters as varied as Greek goddess Hespera, gangster matriarch Queenie Shaw, and Israel’s Prime Minister Golda Meier, what could probably add to this rather wild range?

She has also received her own character poster, alongside newly announced cast members Will Ferrell, Issa Rae and Dua Lipa. The synopsis is still kept under wraps.
