However, her worst injury or most painful experience was while working onAtomic Blonde. The actress clenched her teeth so hard that she ended up cracking them. In her interview withVariety, Theron explained the painful experience,

I had severe tooth pain, which I never had in my entire life… It was tough. You want to be in your best fighting shape, and it’s hard. I had the removal and I had to put a donor bone in there to heal until I came back, and then I had another surgery to put a metal screw in there.

While there were other injuries she suffered as well, a twisted knee, bruised ribs, and more, this dental injury turned out to be the worst of them all. Seeing her dedication towards her craft, it is a no-brainer that Theron deserves to have her own action franchise, or may be cast in the upcomingJohn Wick 5.

Despite howJohn Wick 4concluded, there have been reports of a fifth movie in the making. While it definitely would be great to haveKeanu Reevesreprise his titular role, it won’t hurt to have some new faces.

Having suffered through several deadly and agonizing injuries, Theron never backs down, instead loves the physical experience of storytelling (via News.com.au). Danny Hernandez, a fight coordinator who has worked with both Theron and Reeves, hence puts the two stars in the same category. In an interview withInsider, Hernandez remarked,

I have to put her up there with Keanu Reeves. Her and Keanu are the highest when it comes to stars who work really, really hard on the stunts. They both go the distance. It’s to the point that sometimes you have to send them home. She wouldn’t leave sometimes. Their work ethic is impeccable, but that’s how they got to where they are.

If this isn’t a clear sign of casting the two actors together in potentialJohn Wick 5, we don’t know what is, for teaming up Theron with Reeves would undoubtedly elevate the action sequences and bring a new dynamic to the franchise. Moreover, seeing the two stars’ unparalleled commitment to their respective roles, it will be a treat to watch the two together.
