George Miller’s Furiosa is set to tell the story of how the iconic Mad Max: Fury Road character came to be, in a movie the director says fans won’t expect.
Speaking to Empire, Miller opened up a bit about the upcoming prequel, noting how it tells “the saga of Furiosa,” and that the film will run directly into Fury Road, telling the story of the 15-year gap in between in the process.
“The story is the saga of Furiosa, and how she gets taken from home, and spends the rest of her life trying to get back,” Miller said. “[In] Fury Road, the story unfolds over three days and two nights. This film follows the story that runs directly into Fury Road, for 15 years. It’s a different animal. It’s got many different locations. It’s an odyssey. No question.”
A new photo for the film was also released, which you can see below:
What is Furiosa about?
“As the world fell, young 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 The 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.”
A prequel to 2015 Mad Max: Fury Road, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga stars Anya Taylor-Joy as Imperator Furiosa alongside Chris Hemsworth.
