Charlize Theron Is Fast 8's Villain, Cipher
The next Fast & Furious movie's villain has a name: Cipher. Charlize Theron will play the antagonist in Fast 8, which is due in theaters next March.

The lone photo, shared on Facebook, provides little in the way of details. Theron's character is standing by a rack of guns and wearing a Metallica "Metal Up Your Ass" t-shirt. We imagine the Cipher name means she has something to do with computer crime or hacking. Chances are she drives some sweet, high-tech but also heavy-metal type of car. So, maybe an i8 with a small-block conversion?

Details continue to trickle out about the franchise's newest movie. We know that parts will be set and filmed in Cuba and other scenes have already been shot in Iceland. Plus we recently saw some stunts being filmed in Cleveland. We have a pretty good hunch it will involve lots of cars, car chases, and people talking about cars. And long monologues about family. Vin Diesel will return in his role as Dominic Toretto alongside many of the regulars from previous F&F movies.
