- Cipher to Dom Cipher is the main antagonist in the 2017 action film The Fate of the Furious, the eighth installment of the Fast & Furious series. She is a powerful cyber-terroristic mastermind who manages to corrupt Dominic Toretto into betraying his family and working for her by kidnapping his former love interest, Elena Neves, and their son, Brian Marcus (which Dom never knew about).

She is portrayed by Charlize Theron, who also portrayed Queen Ravenna in Snow White and the Huntsman.

History
Cipher first encounters Dom during his honeymoon with Letty and expresses to him how his crew has ruined her plans, and proceeds to blackmail Dom into working for her. Throughout the movie, she sends Dom on a number of missions to acquire the items needed for her evil plan, though Dom eventually turns on her by rescuing Letty from Cipher's henchman Connor Rhodes. In doing so, Cipher has Rhodes kill Elena in front of Dom, thereby provoking him to kill Rhodes in retaliation. Angry that her plans have been foiled yet again, Cipher decides to kill Dom by using a missile, but is then confronted by Deckard Shaw (the main antagonist from Furious 7, who is now helping the team). She manages to escape via parachute and lives to fight another day.
