Ranking: The Biggest Protagonists From 2017's Summer Blockbusters

6. Lorraine Broughton - Atomic Blonde

Charlize Theron was perfectly-cast as MI6 field agent Lorraine Broughton, who spends the majority of the movie taking dozens of men apart with her Special Set of Skills.

Much more than just "Jane Wick" as some have dubbed her, Broughton has her own particular attitude and inventive style for dismantling her adversaries, resulting in one of the year's most impressive action sequences mid-movie.

Though Atomic Blonde's narrative is arguably a little too convoluted for its own good, Theron is phenomenal in the part, oozing sexuality and proving completely convincing as the kicker of many men's a**es.

There's clearly franchise potential in the character, so hopefully Theron might get a chance to reprise the role, especially with that devilish final plot twist completely flipping the script on everything audiences thought they knew about her character.
