If you’ve seen Mad Max: Fury Road, you want to see more, right? And Charlize Theron has been teasing what a new film in this world might look like for some time now. Well, per Variety, it looks like Miller might be closer to unleashing a new vision than we thought.
It certainly sounds like a spin-off centered on Furiosa is forthcoming from Miller. If you don’t remember, Furiosa was originally played by Charlize Theron in Fury Road — and in my opinion, stole the show with her grit, power, vulnerability, and intriguing-sounding backstory.
This film, likely, would be a prequel, showing us exactly the backstory that leads us to the Furiosa we all know. And that creative take corresponds to an actor he recently screen-tested — well, “Skype-tested,” given the ongoing pandemic. Anya Taylor-Joy, of Emma. and New Mutants fame, is being considered in the lead role.
We’ll keep you updated on Furiosa, Taylor-Joy’s involvement, and the filming date as soon as we hear more. For more on Mad Max, take a look at Junkie XL crafting the score for Fury Road.
