It's been rumoured for several months now, but this week it was finally confirmed that, yes, Charlize Theron will be playing the main villain in Fast 8.

Theron is of course well-versed in cinematic vehicular mayhem, what with memorable roles in the likes of 2003's The Italian Job remake and last year's unforgettable Mad Max: Fury Road, so she should fit snugly into the mix, and bring some welcome star power with her.

Nothing else is currently known about her character: could she be the transatlantic half-sister of the Shaw Brothers, or a totally unrelated baddie? Either way, she can light up the screen with the best of them, so this can only be a great thing for the franchise moving forward.
