"Mad Max" gets a spin-off: George Miller brings the story of Furiosa to the screen
14.10.2020
Translation: machine translated
Director George Miller is writing and directing another "Mad Max" film. But this time, without the main character Max Rockatansky. At the centre of the story, however, is fan favourite Furiosa. That said, she will not be played by Charlize Theron.
Officially, George Miller's new production has not yet been given the green light by the studio. But all the same, as of last night, we know with certainty that a new film, set in the post-apocalyptic world, will see the light of day.
Director George Miller himself has spoken. We now know who will play Furiosa in the prequel: Anya Taylor-Joy.
A new "Mad Max" starring Furiosa, but without Charlize Theron
Once director George Miller dedicates himself to a project, he almost never lets go. For example, he worked for 30 years on "Mad Max: Fury Road", released in cinemas in 2015. He had plenty of time to come up with an ingenious and complex backstory for each of his film characters.
The problem was that the rejuvenated actors didn't convince Miller, known for his interest in special effects. That's why the plan had to be changed: Charlize Theron had to step aside and Anya Taylor-Joy took over the role.
More news: Chris Hemsworth is also on board
In addition to Taylor-Joy, George Miller has revealed two casting names: Chris Hemsworth and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. Their roles are not yet known, but rumour has it that they will play mentors who trained a young and wild Furiosa before she became the Imperator we know and who notably freed Immortan Joe's five wives in "Mad Max: Fury Road".
It is not known when the film will be shot, let alone when it will be released in cinemas.
