The Old Guard
The recently released Netflix film is an action drama that ticks all the right boxes and gives us Theron in a role that she can truly take to the next level. This is a role worthy of her and she does manage to shine in it as an immortal warrior. If you haven't watched this yet, well there's no better time than now to stream this one on Netflix.
Mad Max: Fury Road
Is there anybody else who could pull of the role of Furiosa as amazingly as Charlize? We certainly don't think so. Not only did she totally rock that amazing shaved-head look but also blew us over with her badass act. The actress recently mentioned how it was a little 'heartbreaking' that she won't return for Fury Road and we are certainly disheartened too.
Monster
Considered to be one of Charlize Theron's best roles, the film stars her as Aileen Wuornos, a longtime sex worker who turns into a serial killer. Theron was unbelievable in this film and if you are fan of the actress, we bet this is one of your top films featuring her.
Bombshell
In Bombshell, it almost seems hard to recognise Charlize Theron considering how brilliantly she transforms into Fox News' Megyn Kelly. Theron put up a fabulous act in the film that tells the story of the takedown of Fox News honcho Roger Ailes after he's accused of sexual harassment at the workplace.
Atomic Blonde
The film is all about its badass female protagonist and with Theron on board, it is impossible to look away from her. Charlize gives a thrilling performance with some kickass action and you truly see that she's fit for the role in all senses. As Lorraine Broughton, she's hard to forget.
