Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga Trailer Reveals Epic Prequel

The first trailer for the next Mad Max movie, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, has arrived--and it's pretty epic. A prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road, Furiosa focuses on the character Furiosa, who was played by Charlize Theron in Fury Road and is now depicted by Anya Taylor-Joy.

George Miller returns to direct once again in what's described as an 'original, standalone' action movie that will reveal the origins of Furiosa. In addition to Taylor-Joy, the movie features Chris Hemsworth as Dementus. As you can see in the trailer, Furiosa looks like it features a lot of what made Fury Road great, including action, beautiful cinematography, and epic vehicles ripping through the desert. We also see that Furiosa's arm is missing, and the movie may explain what happened.

The Storyline and Production Details

'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,' reads a line from the movie's description. '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.'

Miller wrote the script with Fury Road co-writer Nico Lathouris. Furiosa releases in theaters on May 24, 2024. Fury Road, which was released in 2015, won six Academy Awards, including Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Achievement in Film Editing, and Best Achievement in Production Design.

In addition to the Mad Max series, Miller is known for directing Babe: Pig in the City and Happy Feet. Furiosa was produced in Miller's home country of Australia and received many tax credits for doing so.
