Charlize Theron is game vir alles.
When a fan suggested her to lead a lesbian remake of the Die Hard franchise, the SA-born star tweeted back, "where do I sign."
Charlize, 45, doesn't skrik for hard-hitting roles. Her portrayal of serial killer Eileen Wuornos won her an Oscar in 2004, and she killed it as the laanie in the kick-ass fliek The Old Guard.
In an interview in the latest Hollywood issue of Vanity Fair, she said: "I mean, it's a great idea. That's why I replied on Twitter. Because I just thought that was kind of brilliant."
The fan tweeted in December: "Lesbian Christmas rom coms are all well and good but what I REALLY want is a Die Hard where Charlize Theron goes on a rampage to save her wife."

Suggesting her fan starts pitching Hollywood producers, writes the Daily Mail, she said: "The fact that it would be two women... I was like, 'Yeah, sign me on'."
Met with so-so reviews at its 1988 premiere, the action fliek, starring Bruce Willis as NYPD cop John McClane, went on to become a franchise classic.
In the movie McClane is visiting his estranged wife (Bonnie Bedelia) in Los Angeles at her office Christmas party when terrorists, led by late actor Alan Rickman, start causing havoc.
Using his wits and an LAPD ally on the ground, the cop outsmarts the baddies to save his wife, coming out of the fight with minor cuts and bruises.
Charlize has already flexed her acting muscle in films like Mad Max and Atomic Blonde.
Likely one of Vanity Fair's most diverse covers, it features, among others, Black Panther's Michael B. Jordan, Zendaya of Euphoria, Spike Lee, Ocean's Eight star Awkwafina and Sacha Baron Cohen.
Charlize said on Instagram the cover is "a collection of people I am absolutely obsessed with. So honored to be in their company".
