Charlize Theron Has Signed On To Star In Fast And Furious 8

Who’s got it better than us?! A sexy, Oscar winning actress signing on to join the Fast and Furious is just about the best news ever. It makes me regret everything I said earlier about wanting the world to end, as I’d forgotten that we’ve got three more Furious films in the works and I need to see how this wild ride ends.

Legit actresses signing on for the Furious franchise is vindication for what we’ve all known for a long time: these movies are awesome. It’s like a superstar coming to their senses and deciding to come to the Celtics this summer. They’ve observed from afar what a crew with excellent camaraderie and leadership has done, and they want in on the action. Charlize Theron has done her Monster and her Mad Max, now she wants to rock with real talent. She wants to share the screen with Vin Diesel and Tyrese Gibson and drive a car out of an airplane.

Charlize recently complained that it was difficult for beautiful people to find roles in Hollywood, a plight we all know is too true, but she recognized there was a void in Fast and Furious without Paul Walker so she went and grabbed. Lucky us, everyone. Tough to lose a true beauty like Paul, but Charlize ain’t a bad replacement.
