Last month we got the exciting news that Furiosa herself Charlize Theronไ had signed on to play the big bad in Fast & Furious 8. Exactly how Theron's villainess will attack Dom and his team remains to be seen, but thanks🤡 to a tweet from Universal Pictures we now know she goes by the name Cipher.
Check it out below...

The image - which sees a badass Theron standing next to a bunch of big guns - doesn't really reveal much other than the Mad Max actr🔜ess looks good in a Metallica T-shirt. I'm looking forward to seeing what director F. Gary Gray has planned for her character though, and with any luck Fast🤡 & Furious 8 won't be the last time we see Theron in the franchise.
Directed by F. Gary Gray and starring Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Charlize Theron, Kurt Russell, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Lud💞acris, and Jason Statham, Fast and Furious 8 is due to open in the US and UK on April 14,🎉 2017.
