Fast and Furious 8: Charlize Theron “I’m proud to be the first naughty woman in the franchise”

Of all the franchise, Fast and Furious 8 will be the first film with a nasty woman. And Charlize Theron is rather proud to have been chosen to embody it.
The franchise Fast and Furious has never really neglected women, putting forward particularly strong women and independent as gifted with cars as Dominic Toretto. One thinks of Letty, played by the rebel Michelle Rodriguez, to Gisele, embodied by the beautiful Gal Gadot, or even more recently to Megan, the geek embodied by Nathalie Emmanuel in Fast and Furious 7 . Even Mia had her little side badass! However, so far, the bad guys were still played by guys. But for the eighth part, it is to a woman that Dom and his team will have to do business, and not just any one: Cipher, a terrorist rigged in high technologies . And from what we’ve seen in the latest trailers , It is rather formidable, to the point that Dom’s family will hire a former enemy, Ian Shaw, played by Jason Statham. And this villain, it is Charlize Theron who has received the honor to embody it. And one does not exaggerate on the word honor, since she herself said in a recent interview. “I am a fan and as a fan, being asked to be part of this franchise that I love is an incredible honor ,” she said.
And as the first nasty woman of the franchise, Charlize Theron is all the more proud. “Be encouraged to come and play the first nasty woman, it’s just a crazy honor. And to be encouraged by everyone – the studio, the screenwriters, the producers – to push the character to the end and to be as psychotic as possible? Who would not want to have this job? I would be a fool to refuse that! ” , She added. That makes us even more want to discover his character. What does she mean by psychotic? The images we saw show her manipulative towards Dom , but they do not really show us much about the character. That one is reassured, according to the director of the film F. Gary Gray, Who was also present during this interview, Cipher is “the best villain of this franchise” . Verdict on April 12th. And you, what do you think of Cipher?
