All the way from CCXP in São Paulo, we have a motion poster, poster, news and a trailer for George Miller’s latest Mad Max movie, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga… although Max is not present in this one.
Acting as a prequel to 2015’s awesome Mad Max: Fury Road which saw Tom Hardy take over from Mel Gibson as the titular Mad Max, the movie focuses on the character of Furiosa, played in 2015 by Charlize Theron and played now by Anya Taylor-joy, and focuses on how she became the badass she was when we first met her eight years ago.
George Miller discusses the future of Mad Max as first looks at Chris Hemsworth in Furiosa appear
Speaking at CCXP, Miller spoke about the franchise – which he has written and directed since 1979’s Mad Max – saying that every time he makes another and its well received, he keeps thinking “what if this happened?” and then a new movie/story starts to form.
Check out the motion poster:

He said that once Fury Road came out and people focused on the character of Furiosa, he knew he’d more story to tell about the character and this new movie stated to take shape and once he saw Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho, he knew that Taylor-Joy was the person for the role.
Chris Hemsworth, Thor himself, will appear in the movie as a new character, Dementus, and the star said he’s “violent, brutal person [who is] a product of the Wasteland.”
Interestingly, Miller said that while Fury Road was a fast adventure that covered three days, Furiosa will cover a fifteen-year period, covering the rise of Furiosa.
Oh, and Tom Holkenborg AKA Junkie XL, has confirmed that he’s returning to score the movie too:
The first trailer for George Miller’s #Furiosa has arrived! I’m so excited to return to the world of Mad Max once again, collaborating with George and his team always makes for something truly special. Excited for you to see the film and hear the score in 2024! https://t.co/AL3xbkpGZG

I really get the feeling that the Mad Max world is far from being over and done and if they continue being as good as Fury Road, I think that’s a great thing. See you all in May 2024 at the pictures!
Furiosa is directed by George Miller, stars Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Burke, Alyla Browne, Nathan Jones, Angus Sampson, Daniel Webber and Lachy Hulme; it hits cinemas on May 24th, 2024

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
