Mad Max franchiseauteur George Miller know even beforeFury route , that by creating an encompassing outline for the 2015 hit , he might have more narration to tell . But that was n’t always the case for Miller , who co - make the concept with Byron Kennedy in Mad Max ( 1979 ) , Mad Max 2 : The Road Warrior ( 1981 ) , sick Max Beyond Thunderdome ( 1985 ) . The film producer thought he was done after that trilogy , and went on to make more genre - hopping moving picture like Babe and Happy Feet — which share a through parentage of larger-than-life character reference going on journeys away from home and back again .
Now withFuriosa : A disturbed Max Saga , the 5th crazy Max existence motion-picture show , he ’s not quick to lay off and may even repay to the Max character for another prequel story . Furiosa focuses on the fiber rise by Charlize Theron in Mad Max : Fury Road , taking us back to her origins as a child ( Alyla Browne ) 20 years before she becomes the Imperator drawing card , and showing us her kidnapping from the Green Place of Many Mothers at the hands of the warlord Dementus ( Chris Hemsworth ) and becoming his prized war ward . As she raise older ( later played by Anya - Taylor Joy ) , her hate for him becomes bully .
Hemsworth beat to play a material flagitious bad hombre here , in a heel turn that excited Miller . “ He had a mountain of wisdom about everything — about himself , about the earth , about even a story like this , where it ’s a cosmos in extremis , and about how people would contend with all the moral wound that happen in this world , ” the director said toEntertainment Weeklyabout the molding .

He continued , contribute that Taylor - Joy was a great foil as Furiosa to Hemsworth ’s brute baddie because the actress has “ … in spades a mystique to her , but also , there ’s someone very , very resolute in her . You smell out it almost immediately . And I think that ’s up there on the screen . ” Like Mad Max leads before her , she may not have many stock in the upcoming film but her searing eye get to dominate her presence on screen as she plot her retaliation and how to get back home .
The photographic film will also have nods to Mad Max — in fact , Miller confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that Max and his trademark car , “ the Interceptor , ” will make a funny but quick cameo . Miller be intimate he had to include it . “ In doing what we did in the preparation of Mad Max : Fury Road , we also wrote what happened to Max in the year before we encounter him in [ that film ] , ” he shared about the genesis of a potential extra tailspin - off film . “ And as we get towards the end of this picture show , the chronology … fundamentally , we had to see that Mad Max was bushwhack around somewhere because we do know what happen . The writers know what take place to Mad Max in that year before , and we have a whole story of that , which I would like to do sometime if I get the chance . ”
To the legendary filmmaker , making these picture was never part of a fully map out out plan . “ unbalanced Max 2 came about because of all the things I learned from Mad Max . Not only how to make moving-picture show but , despite the difficulty I had in make it , why it was so successful , ” he read . “ Why did the Japanese respond to it as a Samurai moving picture ? Why did the French call it a Western on cycle ? Why did the Scandinavians see it as a lone Viking [ film ] , and so on . And I realized that , inadvertently , we ’d tap into some sort of archetype . ” Forty - five years later , the world he create is still unfolding in an exciting way for the manager — and there could be even more to come .
