After playing ‘Furiosa’ in the movie Mad Max: Fury Road last year, the South African actress will be taking her talents to the Fast & Furious franchise.
The F&F twitter feed broke the news, saying that “Our crew will face its greatest adversary in our next film. Welcome Charlize Theron to the Fast family.”
We do know that Fast 8 is shooting in NY and that it might be a throwback of sorts to the days of street racing, which is how the Fast & Furious franchise first got started. If, so it might make for a nice change going from extreme and unrealistic stunts to good old fashioned racing.
Another thing we do know about Fast 8 is that Jason Statham will return as the baddie (or the other baddie), as will Kurt Russell (allegedly) as the government hot shot. Getting the gorgeous Academy Award winner, too, is nothing sort of brilliant.
