Meet Cipher, Charlize Theron's Bad-Girl Character in the Upcoming Fast 8

After seeing her as a skin-headed amputee in Mad Max: Fury Road alongside Tom Hardy, or as a completely unattractive deranged psychopath in "Monster," we can now imagine Charlize Theron in pretty much any role you can think of. Sumo wrestler, you say? Just give her half a year, a large couch, and an endless supply of ice cream and we're sure she'd be up for it.

At the beginning of April, it was confirmed that the South African actress will be playing Cipher, the mysterious villain that will be introduced in the eighth movie of the Fast and Furious franchise due next March. Not much is known about the character - or any aspect of the film for that matter - but at least we get to see a shot of what Cipher might look like.

The good news is the only makeup Charlize is going to receive is the good kind: no added weight, no modified facial traits, just her lovely, blond-haired self we've come to know and love. Also, even though the image is cropped pretty tightly, she also seems to possess the entirety of her limbs. Phew.

We see Cipher wearing a Metallica "Metal Up Your A**" t-shirt with a pronounced cleavage and a raggedy leather jacket on top, while her hair tied up in a ponytail has that uncared for appearance. Not a bad look, and one that makes us even more curious to see what kind of car she'll be driving.

It leaves a lot of doors open, from American muscle to a modified EV. Oh, yeah, we're calling that right now. The pic's description posted on Facebook says that "Our crew has faced former military, mercenaries and more. But they’ve never come across anyone like Cipher," which, coupled with the name, might suggest she's into the hacking business.

Think about it: Metallica T-shirt, nice-looking house, messy hair - she's not exactly the outgoing type. However, when she does go out, it would appear she's prepared well enough to face the whole army of a smaller country.

Of course, that is if what we see in the image is her house. And, judging by the clothes in the back, it does look like it's more of a man's closet. But we digress. Anyway, it's a long time to wait until next March (almost as long as the next Game of Thrones season - just trying to make it easier on you), so we'll sure get more snippets into the world of Fast 8. Just follow #F8.
