One of the images sees Mirren looking at clues and evidence on the case board, stood alongside director Chris Columbus.
Meanwhile, the second image sees Mirren sat alongside her co-stars in the titular quartet - Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley and Celia Imrie.
Donna De Freitas star Naomi Ackie is also sat with them, while Columbus is speaking to them all, as crew members get ready to shoot in the background.

We are now less than three weeks away from the film being released in cinemas, before it arrives on Netflix at the end of the month.
Also starring in the adaptation of Richard Osman's best-selling book are Jonathan Pryce, David Tennant, Daniel Mays, Henry Lloyd-Hughes, Richard E Grant, Tom Ellis and more.
Last month, Osman defended one of the film's casting choices, after some fans had noted that Brosnan is very different from the description of Ron in the books. There, he has a neck-tattoo, and was often previously fan-cast as Ray Winstone.

Osman told Empire that "you have to do something unusual and different and interesting", before adding: "Here’s the key thing about Pierce Brosnan playing Ron: Pierce Brosnan is who Ron would choose to play Ron."
Meanwhile, Columbus has told Collider that making this film "was a dream", and that he hopes he is "fortunate enough to make a sequel. And another sequel. And another sequel..."
