Fast & Furious 8 casts Charlize Theron as main villain

So who’s the next bad guy in the next instalment of the Fast & Furious film franchise? Not a guy it seems, but actress Charlize Theron. The new casting was confirmed by F&F’s official twitter page.

“Our crew will face its greatest adversary in our next film. Welcome Charize Theron to the Fast Family. 4.14.17,” the tweet read. As to whether Theron will go up against Toretto (Vin Diesel) or Letty (Michelle Rodriguez), is as good as anyone’s guess, for now.

Word on the web is that the upcoming movie will be set in a number of places, including the boroughs of Manhattan, NYC and Reykjavik, Iceland – as photos suggest. Meanwhile, Vin Diesel hinted that the final 8, 9 and 10 instalments may form a trilogy to officially conclude the series.

Fast 8 is expected to be out and onto the big screen on April 14, 2017. “I swear to you and to my brother upstairs (Walker), we are going to make the best movie you’ve ever seen,” Vin Diesel said previously, as a gesture to the late (and very first) F&F star, Paul Walker.

  • Fast and Furious should use Proton. Then, the movie will really sell. the cars they use are trash. Better use Proton for power and drifting.

        P1P2 best movie parts, water tank burst, bonnet flying up… not even can stand to complete movie clip…

        This reminded The Bourne Ultimatum, the indestructible VW Touareg, after uncountable collisions, only minor front damage, good to drive…

      Ya man, can’t imagine the thrill, half way gear knob came off, inter-cooler clip broken and half journey out of fuel because indicator still showing F.

      They should use more down to earth cars from Vios or City, then Audi TTs, R8 together with highend Veyron, RR, Porsche, Lambo.. something the viewers can connect with rather than unreachable cars. The first few movies with Evos and Skylines are the ones that had real impact, once they start upsizing and up $$ the cars, it has become something like a fantasy movie. Just my thoughts… though the movies are still good.

    • That might just work. Vin diesel in post apocalyptic Mars racing in modded Mad cars with Paul Walker stand-in trying to court Furiosa.
      That is, until they encountered a group of washed out aging action movie stars being hunted by a blue-faced, kilt-wearing Mel Gibson lookalike named Max. The reason why he is hunting them its cuz hes mad.

    I heard rumors saying Malaysian taxi driver will help Toretto to capture the villain by doing a roadblock.
