"George Miller told Deadline about Furiosa having a deep backstory in the Mad Max universe, and now we’ll finally get to see it: Warner Bros. is in advanced development with Furiosa, a spinoff feature of Miller’s multi-Oscar winning blockbuster Mad Max: Fury Road about the renegade character (played in that film by Oscar winner Charlize Theron) who was a notable force in Max’s survival in the desert.

The standalone movie will reveal the origins of Furiosa and be played by Glass actress Anya Taylor-Joy in the title role. The movie will track the genesis of Furiosa before she teamed up with Max Rockatansky in Fury Road. Chris Hemsworth and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II will also star in a movie that Miller will also direct, co-write and produce with his longtime Oscar-nominated producing partner Doug Mitchell. Miller’s own Australian-based Kennedy Miller Mitchell banner will produce."

They’ve been talking about this for years. Doubt it will happen.

Well now they actually have casting, so probably more likely now than before.

Doubt it but we’ll see. Anything from Miller will be great I’m sure. Fury Road was my favorite film that year.

 

[Malcolm R]

Surprised they cast Chris Hemsworth. He's box office poison for anything other than Thor.

 

[Jeffrey D]

IMO, if Theron was coming back to do this film, it might get interest. No Theron likely means it will come in short of expectations.

This had better also be a DOOF WARRIOR origin-story.

Could Hemsworth be playing the young Immortan? Fury Road is a once-in-a-lifetime thing, but of course I'll see this opening day.

And I will always give George Miller the benefit of the doubt, as the man's track record over 40 years is pretty darn solid. The Furiosa-character has always intrigued me, and fact this was not greenlit mere days after the debut of Fury Road suggests Miller was going to take time -- once again -- to actually get the story right before approaching Warners for a greenlight. If this is the tale that he's locked onto and he wants to tell, I'm all in.

IMO, if Theron was coming back to do this film, it might get interest. No Theron likely means it will come in short of expectations.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Theron show up in at least a cameo-capacity of some sort. She's too iconic in the role at this point to leave out.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Theron show up in at least a cameo-capacity of some sort. She's too iconic in the role at this point to leave out.

Like a cameo at the end of the film in a scene that jumps ahead to the time period of Fury Road.

Furiosa in this film is supposed to be in her 20's, so Miller decided to recast. Reports are he thought about using Theron and using de-aging technology, but decided against it.

I hope they don't call this "Mad Max Furiosa" if it doesn't have Mad Max in it.

 

[GerardoHP]

Spoiler Alert: she loses an arm but survives the movie.

I hope they don't call this "Mad Max Furiosa" if it doesn't have Mad Max in it.

You know that they will.

 

[Malcolm R]

Given recent trends in movie titles, they'll probably just call it Mad Max.
