Charlize Theron's 6 Best Genre Roles
Charlize Theron can do any genre—she has an Oscar for playing a serial killer, and she gave a standout comedic performance on Arrested Development. She's also a gifted action star, as seen in her appearances in Atomic Blonde and the Fast & Furious movies, a series which skirts the edge of sci-fi.
But you don't need to qualify anything when it comes to Theron's fondness for sci-fi and fantasy. With The Old Guard 2 coming to Netflix in July, and Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey due next summer, she's still going strong—but here are Theron's most memorable sci-fi and fantasy roles so far, plus a few notable cameos too.
The Devil's Advocate (1997) and The Astronaut's Wife (1999)
Theron broke out in the late 1990s and was almost instantly playing leading roles—including a pair of wives forced to deal with supernaturally compromised spouses. In The Devil's Advocate (1997) she gets gaslit when she catches on that her attorney husband's new boss is, well, the ultimate bad guy; in The Astronaut's Wife (1999), she must deal with the similarly alarming revelation that her husband has returned from a space voyage with an alien lurking inside him.
Both of those movies are centered around the male characters—Al Pacino's campy Satan in The Devil's Advocate is particularly legendary—but Theron still makes an impression while providing a sympathetic entry point for the audience.
The Old Guard (2020)
A few years after the letdown of 2005's Æon Flux, Theron made another go at superpowers in 2008's Hancock, playing a woman who's been secretly hiding her abilities until her long-lost partner, played by Will Smith, suddenly starts wrecking Los Angeles. It's entertaining but Theron is definitely the second banana. That's not the case in The Old Guard, whose ensemble cast is very much led by Theron as an ancient warrior tasked with regularly saving the world while grappling with the sudden loss of her immortality.
Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)
Obviously. If this list was ranked, Theron's fierce portrayal of Imperator Furiosa would be number one. It was nice to get a prequel filling in the character's backstory, played in a younger incarnation by Anya Taylor-Joy, but truthfully we didn't need it. Fury Road stands alone, and Theron is the main reason why.
The Orville (2017)
We love the Alien movies, even the occasionally impenetrable Prometheus (2012). But if we want to watch Theron in space, we're going straight to the season-one Orville episode 'Pria,' in which Theron guest-stars as a captain rescued from her floundering vessel. She's so distractingly gorgeous it takes everyone awhile to realize she's secretly got some very sinister designs on the titular ship.
Snow White and the Huntsman (2012)
Casting Theron as the mystical evil queen in a rough-and-tumble retelling of the Snow White story is a brilliant idea; bringing her back for a sequel that leaves out Snow White (2015's The Huntsman: Winter's War) is still a good idea, even if the second movie wasn't as good. In 2022, she tapped back into that 'evil fantasy queen' vibe, with a little more arch humor, to play the Dean of the School for Evil in Netflix's The School for Good and Evil.
Bonus cameos
In 2009, Theron had a brief but searing role in The Road, playing a woman who chooses to end it all rather than face life in the post-apocalypse (you can't really blame her after you spend some time in that film's particular post-apocalypse).
In 2022, she had shocking little moment in The Boys season three premiere, playing 'herself' portraying 'Nazi bitch' Stormfront in the show's in-universe blockbuster, Dawn of the Seven.
But we must give it up for Theron's 'did that really happen?' appearance at the end of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, also released in 2022. In the mid-credits scene, she appears as purple-clad sorceress Clea, a character only comic-book readers would immediately recognize, and beckons Doctor Strange into the Dark Dimension, telling him he needs to fix the 'incursion' he caused. Will Clea ever return, or is this a dangling thread that will remain tucked away in Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Even the Sorcerer Supreme probably couldn't tell you at this point.

New on Netflix in July 2025 — every movie and show coming this month
Netflix has announced everything coming to the streaming service in July 2025, and there are some heavy hitters. It wasn't too hard to find five must-watch shows and movies that you need to add to your watchlist. First up is "The Old Guard 2." This superhero movie is the sequel to 2020's "The Old Guard," which we ranked number 78 on our list of the top 100 superhero movies. Starring Charlize Theron and Uma Thurman, it's undoubtedly the top title this month. Then there's "The Sandman" season 2, which is arriving in three waves this month for a bittersweet series finale. If you watched the first season of the DC Comics adaptation in 2022, you'll know that this show isn't one to miss. Aside from these top picks, I've got the full slate of everything new to Netflix this month listed below. Plus, we have a roundup of what's leaving Netflix in July 2025, so you have one last chance to watch. Here's everything coming to — and leaving — Netflix this month. "The Old Guard 2" has Charlize Theron reprising as Andromache of Scythia (known to her friends as Andy). She's the leader of a group of immortal soldiers who are mercenaries for hire. But immortality gives you a lot of time to make enemies, and Andy has made a powerful one in Quyhn (Ngô Thanh Vân) — a fellow immortal whom Andy left to drown for eternity 500 years early. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Quyhn has finally escaped her watery prison, though, and she's looking for payback. She's not the only one targeting Andy and her soldiers, either. Discord (Uma Thurman) is hunting her down and she's the first of the immortals, so there's no tougher foe out there. Stream on Netflix starting July 2 "The Sandman" was a favorite of a few of us here at Tom's Guide (myself included) when it came out in 2022. So when it was renewed relatively quickly later that year, I was excited for more. Since that announcement, though, Netflix has also decided to cancel the show, making season 2 its final season. This was in no small part due to the allegations of sexual assault against Neil Gaiman, who created "The Sandman" and was an executive producer on the Netflix series. Despite this bittersweet ending, it does look like Netflix spared no expense for Lord Morpheus's (Tom Sturridge) last hurrah, and the trailer brings back some familiar faces. I'm personally most excited for the return of The Corinthian (Boyd Holbrook), who was the main villain of season 1. Volume 1 drops six episodes on July 3, with Volume 2 dropping the final five episodes of season 2's main storyline on July 24. A series finale special episode will arrive on July 31, bringing the show to a close. Stream Volume 1 on Netflix starting July 3 "Too Much" stars Megan Stalter as Jessica, who leaves New York for London after a bad breakup. There, she meets Felix (Will Sharpe), an indie musician who is not the Hugh Grant type she was hoping to meet, but he might just be the right person for her right now. This show was one of my most anticipated Netflix shows of 2025 when the year started, and it still is. Stalter has been great in "Hacks," I've loved Sharpe in "The White Lotus" season 2 and "A Real Pain and while show creator Lena Dunham isn't always everyone's favorite, there's no denying that she's created brilliant TV before. Stream on Netflix starting July 10 "Happy Gilmore" is likely on Adam Sandler's Mount Rushmore of greatest performances. The ice hockey player turned professional golfer was iconic in the 90s and it still is today. At least, that seems to be what Netflix is counting on, as "Happy Gilmore 2" looks like more of the same as the first movie based on the official trailer. This sequel is set 30 years after winning the Tour Championship in the first movie, and has a retired Happy needing to return to golf to pay for his daughter Vienna's (Sunny Sandler) ballet school. But a familiar face in Shooter McGavin (Christopher McDonald) is standing in Happy's way, and is on a quest to take back his title. Stream on Netflix starting July 25 "Untamed" is a new Netflix miniseries created by Mark L. Smith, who most recently was part of the team behind "American Primeval," a miniseries from Peter Berg that debuted on Netflix earlier this year. So it's safe to say that the creative team behind this new thriller set in Yellowstone National Park has some familiarity with the expanse of the wild American West. In this murder mystery, a woman's death in the national park has federal agent Kyle Turner (Eric Bana) looking for answers. To find them, he will need to go into the depths of the park, where the only laws that rule are the laws of nature.
