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.

I'll watch anything George Miller makes, especially in that world, but I'd much rather see an old man Mel Gibson Mad Max story.
Unlike many actors his age, he still had the charisma and star power to light up the screen. His look and intensity and kookiness could also really work well in that type of story.

I like it.

I can’t help but have a little disappointment we won’t get more Max, but who am I to question Miller’s judgement? I’m sure it will be badass. I think I’m going to watch Fury Road this afternoon.

Mel would kill it as Grandpa Max.

I thought we were. I thought originally they had planned a new trilogy for Max?

I also trust George Miller, but I don't know how Anya Taylor-Joy is going to be able to live up to Charlize's Furiosa.

Positive: More Mad Max universe.
Negative: No Mad Max, who everyone wants to see in the Mad Max universe.

Wasnt Miller the one who said Mel wouldn’t be coming back at any point for the series?

meh, for my money, Mel Gibson IS Max, and that ship has sailed. Loved Tom Hardy and Fury Road, but lets be real, Furiosa is the more interesting character now. or at least for me, im just not as interested in seeing more Max adventures when the world is alot richer now after Fury Road and has alot more to explore.
we already now where Max came from, his adventures, and kinda where he ends up. i think Max has been milked dry as a character.
also, this is interesting the same story:

Taylor-Joy recently finished filming Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho and is currently filming Robert Eggers’ The Northman.
was afraid COVID may have derailed the northman permanently.

What? Are we going to see how she meets up w/ Immortan Joe and gained his trust? Is she going to be involved in a race like setting in the desert? I loved Fury Road as one off remake of the earlier films. Not sure how they are going to succeed here. It has a very Disney Star Wars feel to it. Hey, we can squeeze some more money out of the franchise; let's cast a woman (shocked no minority) and shite all over franchise for a buck.

I’ll probably go take a piss during the dismemberment scene.

I'm not that interested in desert lesbians and how Furiosa lost her arm. They made her the lead in Fury Road for obvious reasons, but she's still an ancillary character. Personally, I'd like to see Max encounter more interesting characters. It doesn't bother me, as it's a spinoff movie, but I'm not sure how they'll market this. Without Theron, I'm not sure that people will know what this movie is and that it's connected to the Mad Max world, which is the only reason more than 100 people will go see this.

Eh, I'll wait to see how it turns out. Feels like a female lead check box movie.
I really enjoyed fury road. Charlize was really good as furiosa.

Is that not a description of Fury Road?

as the prequel to the best action movie of the decade?
assuming Miller still has it in him, the trailer will the sell the movie just fine i imagine.

Please tell me this guy will be making an appearance.

I'd rather it be a sequel than a prequel.
I think it would be more interesting to have her traveling and encountering new groups, possibly running into Max at the end and then traveling together in a 3rd movie.
