Charlize Theron in line to play Fast and Furious 8 villain

Fast 8 may have just found their ultimate villain with Charlize Theron favourite to take on the role.

Deadline reports that the film’s director F. Gary Gray wants a female villain to star and are particularly interested in Theron after her impressive turn in Mad Max: Fury Road.

Although no offer has officially been made to Theron, reports suggest that it’s only a matter of time before she’s offered the part.

Fast 8 will crash into theaters on April 14, 2017 and hopefully with Theron on board and not just in the driving seat.
