Universal is exploring the estimation of aFast & Furiousspinoff flick built around Charlize Theron ’s type Cipher . Suffice it to say , Universal could n’t have predictedThe Fast and the Furiouswould give rise to a massive billion dollar - gross dealership when it release the film in 2001 . It ’s not just the box office receipts that ’s get bigger with every choke sequel either ( though , obviously , there ’s that ) . By this point , several of theFast & Furiousmovies have been well - received critically and managed to withdraw prominent name stars to everything from leading persona to cameos ( namely , in the slip of Helen Mirren ) .
The property will only continue to expatiate with this summer’sFast & Furious Presents : Hobbs & Shaw , the first of potentially multiple spinoffs based around character from the main series . enfranchisement lead and manufacturer Vin Diesel has further confirmed thata women - led spinoff movieis presently being developed by a compendium of writers , include Nicole Perlman ( Guardians of the Galaxy ) and Geneva Robertson - Dworet ( Tomb Raider ) . It seems that might not be the only woman - drive spinoff in early development , either .

In a much - larger article on Universal ’s ongoing legal battle with longtimeFast & Furiousproducer Neal Moritz , THRrevealed the studio is explore the estimate of a women - anchored spinoff based around Theron ’s Cipher fromThe Fate of the Furious . However , the study does n’t clarify if this is a separate project from the previously announce women - led spinoff or if it ’s the same one and Cipher is only being considered for the photographic film ’s primary baddie .
The cyberterrorist Cipher was present as being a middling straightforward antagonist inThe Fate of the Furious , with few ( if any ) qualm about holding Dominic Toretto and Elena Neves ' untried Logos hostage or killing Elena to get Dom to do her command . As such , she would be a meet choice to serve as the independent threat in the women - ledFast & Furiousspinoff film , and potentially face off with yield submarine like Letty Ortiz and the hacktivist Ramsey . On the other hand , the franchise has a history of redeeming and evolving its villains into being more heroic by now , so it ’s plausible the provisionary plan is to do something similar with Cipher . If so , the serial ' creative will need to be heedful and ward off creatinganother problematic # JusticeForHan situation .
Either way , itmakes sentiency to land Cipher backin a futureFast & Furiousinstallment ( whatever it ends up being).The Fate of the Furiousestablished the role as being a muscular influence in the enceinte universe , so it would be rather unknown if she merely disappear and was never heard from again . Moreover , Theron is still as big a draw at the box office as ever and an Oscar - win talent to bang , which is all the more reasonableness to have her reprise Cipher at some point . It ’s also potential Universal is waiting to see howHobbs & Shawgoes over at the box office first , before they commit to any additional spinoffs beyond that . If so , then it might be a while before there ’s any wise information to describe about a Cipher spinoff .
