"This is a franchise that has been built for 16 years on this
idea of family being kind of the cornerstone ... and to play a
character that has to kind of break all of that up, it was fun,
yeah, and challenging," Theron said at the Berlin premiere of
"The Fate of the Furious."
Diesel was also on hand for the release of the film, which is
being marketed in Europe as "Fast and Furious 8" and features
the signature fast car chases, daring stunts and explosions of
the previous seven films.
"The Fate of the Furious" sees Diesel's lead character Dominic
Toretto go rogue. Theron, who won a best actress Academy Award
for "Monster", plays the villainous Cipher.
Diesel told reporters he felt as though he had "let the world
down" when he left the film franchise several years ago because
he was dissatisfied with the script.
The film, directed by F. Gary Gray, also stars Jason Statham,
Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez and Tyrese Gibson.
