Meet Furiosa, the prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road that explores the origins of what we consider one of the most badass female characters in cinema history. Furiosa is not just another hero in the Mad Max saga. She is a scene-stealer, a complex and compelling character, and a spin-off worthy of director George Miller’s vision.
In Fury Road, she shared the spotlight with the Road Warrior. Now, almost 10 years later, Furiosa is back, with Anya Taylor-Joy taking over the role from Charlize Theron. The film will reveal Furiosa’s life before Fury Road, from her childhood in the idyllic "Green Place" to her rise as a hardened warrior in the desert dystopia.
Miller wrote an in-depth backstory for Furiosa while developing Fury Road, which eventually became a separate script for the prequel. Taylor-Joy described the film as "an epic" that spans a long period and lets the audience get to know Furiosa better. She also said that Furiosa is the "dirtiest and the bloodiest" role she’s ever played.
Furiosa is coming to theatres in 2024.
