'Fast and Furious 8' news: First look at Charlize Theron as big bad Cipher

Not too long ago, it was confirmed that Charlize Theron will play the antagonist in "Fast and Furious 8." Now, fans are treated to their first look at the "Mad Max Fury Road" star in the film.

Deemed one of the greatest enemies the Toretto gang has ever encountered, Theron's character in "Fast and Furious 8," who was revealed to be named Cipher, rocked a Metallica shirt as she stood near a display of big guns, presumably preparing for attack.

"Our crew has faced former military, mercenaries and more. But they've never come across anyone like Cipher," the caption for the photo read.

Apart from her love for the heavy metal band plastered her shirt, not much is known about Theron's character in "Fast and Furious 8." She did tell E! Online that Cipher is nowhere near a driving buff.

"I feel like that gang's got the driving, like, down," the actress said. "Like, they have, like, a really good thing going. I don't know if I need to step in that department. I might have to step in a different department," she added.

The cast and crew of "Fast and Furious 8" are currently filming. The movie is the first American film to be allowed to shoot in Cuba, which makes it far more exciting on top of Theron's inclusion.

Amidst the filming, actor Vin Diesel remembered his late friend and "Fast and Furious" co-star Paul Walker via an Instagram photo featuring him and Walker, all smiles during an old interview.

"Many of the crew members who have worked on several of the past Fast films are here again to help us make something special," Diesel wrote on the caption.

"One of them at the end of the week came up to me and said wow what we are capturing on film is excellent... And then looked at me and said Paul would be proud," he continued.

"Fast and Furious 8" will be the first film with Walker not in it, but his presence will definitely felt in the film.

"Fast and Furious 8" will be out April 14, 2017.
