If sources are to be believed then Charlize Theron is all set for a face off against Vin Diesel in the next 'Fast and Furious' film.

The 40-year-old actress is in early talks to play the villain in the eighth installment of the hit street racing series, reports New.com.au.

If Theron hops on, the project will reunite her with filmmaker F. Gary Gray, who directed her 2003 movie 'The Italian Job.'

The production on the flick is expected to begin in the northern spring, ahead of an April 2017 release.
