George Miller spoke about Furiosa having a deep backstory in the Mad Max universe, and now we’ll finally get to see it: Warner Bros. had greenlit Furiosa, a spinoff feature of Miller’s multi-Oscar winning blockbuster Mad Max: Fury Road about the renegade character (played in that film by Charlize Theron) who assisted Max 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.

Anya Taylor-Joy was great in Split. Looking forward to this but Fury Road was something truly special (even within the context of the Mad Max series) and I'm doubtful they'll be able to recapture it

I only liked Fury Road in terms of the scope of the production. Miller is a madman and it was grandiose. But its not a movie i need or want to see again.

I liked Mad Max a lot more the second time around, on a smaller screen with shittier speakers

The black and white version is kinda cool too, but I think I prefer the color.

I'm always happy to watch Amy Adams act her heart out but this feels like an "Oscar bait" trailer parody video. Also the good Terminator / bad Terminator line is bad

I was hoping Ron Howard wouldn't get to make any more movies after that Star Wars one.
