When I heard that Charlize had cashed in and taken a role in Fast & Furious 8 I was kind of disappointed, both in her choice of role and in the fact that this franchise is still churning out movies.

I guess as long as they make bank at the box office they’ll just keep on coming.

Theron didn’t put all of her eggs in one basket, though, because you’ll also see her in Atomic Blonde.

Here’s the YouTube write-up:

Oscar winner Charlize Theron explodes into summer in Atomic Blonde, a breakneck action-thriller that follows MI6’s most lethal assassin through a ticking time bomb of a city simmering with revolution and double-crossing hives of traitors.

The crown jewel of Her Majesty’s Secret Intelligence Service, Agent Lorraine Broughton (Theron) is equal parts spycraft, sensuality and savagery, willing to deploy any of her skills to stay alive on her impossible mission. Sent alone into Berlin to deliver a priceless dossier out of the destabilized [sic] city, she partners with embedded station chief David Percival (James McAvoy) to navigate her way through the deadliest game of spies.

And of course she looks good whilst doing that:

Lekker, ne?
