After almost 10 years, we are about to re-enter the wonderful world of the Wasteland. From the mind of Dr. George Miller comes a prequel to his incredible opus, “Mad Max: Fury Road.” Focusing on the Imperator turned liberator, “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” tells the tale of the young resident of the Green Place and her rise to power at the Citadel under warlord Immortan Joe.
Empire Magazine just revealed two special covers for their upcoming issue, which will dive deep into the film. Also, they included a never-before-seen image from the upcoming film! Anya Taylor-Joy stars as the title character, taking over the role for the incredible Charlize Theron. (We’re still mad we’re not getting more Charlize in this.)
These will both be on sale starting March 14th.
An early synopsis indicates this film is set 15 years before “Fury Road,” and 45 years after the collapse. It will show how Furiosa is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falls into the hands of a great Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus. Sweeping through the Wasteland, they come across the Citadel presided over by Immortan Joe. While the two Tyrants war for dominance, Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home.
Tom Burke (who replaces Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) also stars. Hemsworth is confirmed as playing Dementus, a character from the “Mad Max” video game who is eventually killed by Scabrous Scrotus. We also have it on good authority that Nathan Jones and Angus Sampson are reprising their “Fury Road” roles as Rictus Erectus and the Organic Mechanic, respectively.
Jenny Beaven, who won an Oscar for her incredible costume work on “Fury Road” (and most recently did “Cruella” for Disney) has confirmed she’ll be designing. Tom Holkenborg, aka JunkieXL, will also be returning to the “Mad Max” family to score this film.
“Furiosa” is expected to hit theaters May 24th, 2024. Check out the trailer now:
