FAQs

Is there a new Mad Max movie coming out? ›

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga had its world premiere at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, screening out-of-competition, on 15 May 2024. The film was released theatrically in Australia and India on 23 May 2024, and in the United States on 24 May 2024.

Snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers, young Furiosa 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. As the two tyrants fight for dominance, Furiosa soon finds herself in a nonstop battle to make her way home.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga / Film synopsis

Miller's latest and fifth movie in the cycle, “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,” is primarily an origin story that recounts the life and brutal, dehumanizing times of the young Furiosa (Anya Taylor-Joy), the hard-bitten rig driver played by Charlize Theron in the last film, “Mad Max: Fury Road” (2015).

Swedish director Ernst De Geer's delicious satire of corporate self-actualisation culture undeservedly skipped cinemas but is well suited to home viewing, since you can pause it whenever you need to cringe your insides out.

“I really thought we'd do it with Charlize,” he says of the prequel, by using “maybe de-aging” visual effects on the actress. The technique available to make Theron appear in her early 20s, however, “wasn't working,” per Miller.

Tom Hardy will not return as Max Rockatansky in the Mad Max: Fury Road sequel. In a recent conversation with Forbes, Hardy revealed the possibility of The Wasteland happening. He said, “I don't think that's happening.”

That's interesting given that Furiosa's backstory, as first mentioned in the highly incendiary, flagrantly misogynistic comic Furiosa, involves her having been a trafficked child singled out by Immortan Joe to become one of his wives — the same refugees she later breaks out of Joe's Citadel at the beginning of Fury ...

Fury Road Has Hinted Why Max Abandons Furiosa

However, as the comic confirms, he is not her biological father. Max only saves her and her mother from a biker gang before they die in a crash when he attempts to get them away from the evil raiders.

Mel Gibson was 22 when the original Mad Max was filming. We can say his character was the same age. So, in The Road Warrior, he'd be 25 and still about Gibson's age. BUT in Beyond Thunderdome, he'd be 40 even though Gibson himself was 28 at the time of filming.

Here's what we actually see at the end of the film: After Furiosa (Anya Taylor-Joy) overtakes Dementus (Chris Hemsworth) — the man who robbed her of her childhood, killed her mother, practically sold her into slavery, then killed the one other person she grew to love — she mulls how to finally end him.

How old is Furiosa when she meets Jack? ›

Around 2045: We then meet Furiosa, aged up and played by Anya Taylor-Joy. It's not explicitly clear how much later this is, but she looks to be in her 20s at this point. We see her become established as a part of Praetorian Jack's crew.

Tom Hardy will not return as Max Rockatansky in the Mad Max: Fury Road sequel. In a recent conversation with Forbes, Hardy revealed the possibility of The Wasteland happening. He said, “I don't think that's happening.”

In preparation for the prequel movie Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Miller was asked in an interview with Jake's Takes about bringing Mel Gibson back in a Mad Max movie as an older version of his character. Miller explained he doesn't have a story that features an older character, so there's no room for Gibson's return.

Does Furiosa ever reunite with her family? (Image credit: Warner Bros.) Furiosa finally finds her people again in Fury Road. Sadly, though, The Green Place no longer exists by the time she finds them – but in the end, she takes the Citadel for herself and the liberated wives.
