As the OTT race keeps getting fierce by the minute, Netflix’s tricks too keep getting better. Always among the ones with the most exciting lineup, the streamer ensured they had everyone’s attention as it roped in Justin Lin for a project titled Ruthlesss Resurgence. But it’s not just the directorial brilliance of Lin that they have dug up.

For a project that does not even have a definitive release date, the OTT Mogul is surely working very hard to ensure ruthless resurgence as it adds a cast member who has a record of quite literally killing it at the box office.

Netflix adds to the glory of its anticipated Ruthless Resurgence

While the American streamer is constantly running the race to secure the streaming rights to the next big box office project, it has a league of its own when it comes to originals. And Ruthless Resurgence is going to be just that. After roping in the billion-dollar Taiwanese director associated with Fast & Furious, as per The Giant Freaking Robot, the streamer has also booked one of the highest-paid actresses in the world, Charlize Theron.

Theron’s versatility knows no bounds and the Oscar sitting on her shelf is proof of that. However, the fact that her onboarding comes right after the Fast & Furious 6 director, is a hint that she will be doing a lot of heavy action sequences in the Netflix original.

While the streamer has kept most details behind the curtains, there is a high chance that Charlize Theron’s upcoming project is a tribute to one of her greatest roles.

Charlize Theron is returning to do what she does best

That Theron has been in the industry for decades and holds a comfortable seat in the big league is a testament to her boundless talent. But there is also the proven cinematic truth that there comes one role in an actor’s life that makes them immortal. For Charlize Theron, it was her role in Monster where she plays a serial killer. And looks like Netflix has been doing some note-taking for a while as it has cast Theron to play an assassin in the upcoming flick.

Charlize Theron is all set to play a retired assassin in Netflix’s Ruthless Resurgence. Staying true to the title, the plot will be along the lines of Theron returning to her past profession as a vindictive opponent appears. The last time Justin Lin and Charlize Theron collaborated, it resulted in a worldwide box office collection of $726.2 million, and if that is anything to go by, Netflix and viewers can brace themselves for another blockbuster.
