Charlize Theron kills, swears and shags in NSFW Atomic Blonde trailer

  • 14/03/2017

Charlize Theron is cementing her status as one of modern cinema's most fearsome action heroes, kicking serious arse in the NSFW trailer for Atomic Blonde.

Following her turn in Mad Max: Fury Road and upcoming villainous role in Fate of the Furious, the Oscar-winning 41-year-old's latest action movie has just premiered at South by Southwest.

Atomic Blonde is directed by David Leitch and shares a similar aesthetic to his previous film John Wick - neon-soaked long takes that include graphic violence.

Theron plays an undercover MI6 agent sent to Berlin during the Cold War to investigate the murder of a colleague and recover a missing list of double agents.

The red band trailer features a lot of gun and hand-to-hand combat, swearing and a racy lesbian sex scene.

Co-stars include James McAvoy, John Goodman, Sofia Boutella, Toby Jones and Eddie Marsan.

Atomic Blonde is currently set for a New Zealand release in August.
