It&#8217;s fair to say Theron has also been a pioneering female action star, as she is renowned for lead roles in action films such as <em>\u00c6on Flux<\/em>, <em>Hancock<\/em>, <em>Mad Max: Fury Road<\/em>, <em>Atomic Blonde<\/em>, and <em>The Fate of the Furious<\/em>. However, in an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/heat-vision\/charlize-theron-old-guard-heartbreak-furiosa-prequel-1301957\">The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, Theron noted that the genre still presents uneven ground for female action stars:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA lot of women don\u2019t get a second chance, but when men make these movies and fail miserably, they get chance after chance after chance to go and explore that again. That doesn\u2019t necessarily happen for women . . . <em>Fury Road<\/em>&nbsp;came a good decade after&nbsp;<em>\u00c6on Flux<\/em>, and there\u2019s always been that voice in the back of my head that still somewhat responds to that . . . It\u2019s not a very forgiving genre when it comes to women.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Annotation-2020-07-06-142052-e1594063313934.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26290\" width=\"426\" height=\"515\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of Theron&#8217;s most notable roles, <strong>Imperator Furiosa<\/strong> in <em>Mad Max: Fury Road<\/em>, has unfortunately become a sore spot in this regard. Director George Miller announced that he is working on a prequel about Furiosa, which means <a href=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/2020\/05\/george-miller-confirms-another-younger-actress-will-portray-furiosa-in-prequel\/\">a younger actress will be cast in place of Theron<\/a>. Theron revealed her conflicting feelings about the news in the same interview, saying she &#8220;fully respects George&#8221; and his decision-making, but the announcement was &#8220;a little heartbreaking.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cIt\u2019s a tough one to swallow . . . I really love that character, and I\u2019m so grateful that I had a small part in creating her.&nbsp;She will forever be someone I think of and reflect on fondly. Obviously, I would love to see that story continue, and if he feels like he has to go about it this way, then I trust him in that manner.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Annotation-2020-07-06-143129.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26292\" width=\"600\" height=\"475\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Theron has been extremely active throughout her career, adding many producer credits and several animation roles to her skills as well as delving into streaming platform exclusives in the last several years. She is a producer on the Netflix hit series <em>Mindhunter<\/em>, and her latest film, <em>The Old Guard<\/em>, is a Netflix exclusive. Theron also teased that a sequel to <em>Atomic Blonde<\/em> has begun development and that its production will be teaming up with Netflix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Theron is slated to reprise her character Cipher in <em>Fast and Furious 9<\/em>, which is expected to release in 2021.

I'm always down to try a quirky game with a good story or captivating atmosphere. I received my bachelor's in English in 2017 and always find myself writing or editing one thing or another. If I'm not playing WoW with my husband (aka the guy who got me into all this), I'm usually goofing off with our dog Oliver or watching Let's Plays of the horror games I'm too chicken to touch.","sameAs":["https:\/\/x.com\/@theLyrin"],"url":"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?author=18"}]}},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Annotation-2020-07-06-143129.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26288","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=26288"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26288\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26677,"href":"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26288\/revisions\/26677"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/26292"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=26288"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=26288"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=26288"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
