A short while back, we reported that the ever-fierce Charlize Theron had signed on to play a villain in the upcoming eighth instalment of the never-ending Fast & Furious series.
Overnight, the good people behind the official Fast & Furious Twitter account gave us our first look at Theron’s character, Cipher, who apparently enjoys Metallica and heavy weaponry in equal parts.
After Mad Max: Fury Road, we were moist with anticipation at the thought of Ms Theron in another hard-driving action role, and with the release of the below image, we’re positively dripping
Does Cipher have a Furiosa-style prosthetic arm? The photo gives nothing away. Will she be faster and more furious than previous Fast & Furious villains? That’s pretty much a given.
Soak it up:
