Vin Diesel recently confirmed that there will be three more Fast And Furious films for a total of 10.
And though the next of the franchise is still being written, it looks like there could be a groundbreaking change.
Fast 8 will feature a sole female villain according to a Tuesday report from Deadline.
Sources for the online magazine claim that director F. Gary Gray and screenwriter Chris Morgan have included a fierce female villain into the saga.
Not only would this be a significant move for the franchise and action genre in general, but they are hoping that prominent actress will fill the role.
According to Deadline's insiders, Charlize Theron is the woman that they have their eyes on to play the pioneering villain.
As she is coming off a critically-acclaimed performance in thrill ride Mad Max: Fury Road, no doubt she would be a perfect fit.
It doesn't seem to be out of the realm of possibility for the A-lister as she apparently has a pretty open schedule around the time of production for the latest Fast And Furious flick.
This comes just a week after Vin Diesel confirmed the highly-popular action franchise will run for 10 films total.
The 47-year-old star of the films has announced that the remaining sequels will be released in April 2017, 2019 and 2021 respectively.
The blockbuster racing series has so far been comprised on seven movies with the latest being Furious 7 which was released in April of last year.
Taking to the picture sharing social network, Vin uploaded an image with the words: '2 decades, 10 films, 1 saga' and release dates '8 April 14 2017, 9 April 19 2019, 10 April 2 2021.'
If all goes to plan, by Summer 2021 the total running time for the franchise will stretch to more than 15 hours of car chases.
And while the road ahead is now mapped for the series - with the next film being titled Fast 8 - the consecutive movies are as-yet-unnamed.
Fast 8 is expected to be released on April 14, 2017
