Fans were intrigued when Fast and The Furious 8 announced that Academy Award Winner Charlize Theron would be joining the upcoming sequel.

Recently Composer Brian Tyler, who has been involved in four of the Fast and Furious films, told Entertainment Weekly a bit about Theron's antagonistic role, who goes by the name of Cipher.

"It's like a siren kind of thing. There's no question the havoc and villainy she brings [but] you're attracted to it. There's something where you can kind of see yourself in this villain that makes it more disturbing and, at the same time, more interesting. It's the sympathetic villains, in a way, who really get under your skin. In a much different way, but like how Anthony Hopkins did Hannibal Lecter, where you like him, but you're like, 'Wait, why am I doing that? I shouldn't be rooting for this person.' She has that ability to do that. She's just a fantastic actor."

Theron's co-star, Vin Diesel, seconds Tyler's take and can't wait for fans to get to know the character, saying on Facebook: "Wait until you meet Cipher. Of all her films you have never seen this character [Theron] has created… she has truly brought her A game to this saga and we are all grateful for it."

Brian Tyler compares Cipher to someone you might see in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, saying: "I think it will surprise people in a way. In a way, it does remind me of when I work on the Marvel films. We have different characters who were allowed to become really distinct."

Fast and Furious 8 rides into theatres on April 14th, 2017.
