First pic of Charlize Theron as the villain in 'Fast 8' released

Charlize Theron rocks a Metallica T-shirt and a ponytail in the first pic of her as a villain in Fast 8.

The picture comes from the official Fast and Furious Twitter account. The tweet also reveals the villain's name is Cipher.

Last year, Theron starred in the critically-acclaimed Mad Max: Fury Road. Before that, she won an Academy Award for her performance in 2003's Monster. She recently starred in The Huntsman: Winter's War opposite Chris Hemsworth, Jessica Chastain and Emily Blunt. Theron will next be heard in the animation Kubo and the Two Strings in August and can next be seen in The Coldest City with James McAvoy and John Goodman, set to come out later this year.

Fast 8 is the eighth installment in Universal's multi-billion dollar grossing street racing franchise. It will be directed by F. Gary Gray (Straight Outta Compton, Friday), written by Chris Morgan (Fast and Furious 3-7) and stars Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, Lucas Black, Kurt Russell and Jason Statham alongside Theron as the first female villain of the franchise.
