After the success of Fury Road, Mad Max: The Wasteland’s release date has been highly anticipated by fans of the franchise. Fury Road brought Max Rockatansky and Furiosa together on a brutal action-packed adventure. Following that, Max is expected to return on another journey to The Wasteland. But when is the film coming out?
Here’s all the Mad Max: The Wasteland release date information we know so far, and all the details on when it is coming out.
Is there a Mad Max: The Wasteland release date?
Mad Max: The Wasteland does not have an official release date, but it will likely be announced in the future.
After Fury Road hit theaters in 2015, director George Miller talked about coming up with two more films in the franchise. One of those was the Furiosa-based prequel that we’re getting in 2024, and the other is Mad Max: The Wasteland, which will continue the story of Max Rockatansky.
The development of both these projects was halted due to the 2017 lawsuit as George Miller’s production company sued Warner Bros. for not paying a $7 million bonus. But a few years after the litigation, things came back on track for the Furiosa prequel that stars Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Hemsworth, and Yahya Abdul Mateen-II. But information on The Wasteland is still limited. However, we do expect the director to start developing the project after Furiosa hits theaters.
It would be hard to predict a release date until Warner Bros. officially announces Mad Max: The Wasteland. But the project will certainly happen if the Furiosa movie turns out to be a hit at the box office. George Miller did claim to have a story for The Wasteland in the past. But he also stated that it isn’t completely ready. So, if the next Mad Max movie happens, then it will be a few years before we get to see it.
As for the returning cast members, Charlize Theron will not be coming back as according to Miller, Furiosa is “not in the ‘Mad Max’ [sequel] story”. But there’s a question mark on Tom Hardy’s return as well. After all, he didn’t have the most comfortable time on Fury Road, and the character of Max could get recast. But he could also be back as Theron isn’t supposed to be involved with the project.
Where is Mad Max: The Wasteland coming out?
Mad Max: The Wasteland is expected to come out in the theaters after it gets greenlit officially.
