October 14, 2020 David Gonzalez Film News, Reel Movies, Reel Talk Inc Comments Off on Mad Max Prequel Furiosa Adds Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Hemsworth, And Yahya Abdul-Mateen II

Mad Max: Fury Road is widely considered one of the best action films of the past decade. Fury went on to receive multiple Academy Award nominations including Best Picture and Best Director at the 2015 Oscars.

As the prequel is set to be released, George Miller has added quite the cast. Miller has added Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Hemsworth, and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II to star in Furiosa, the prequel movie based on Charlize Theron’s Imperator Furiosa character in the 2015 film.

Taylor-Joy will play the title role, a younger version of Furiosa. Miller had said in a May interview with The New York Times that he’d been searching for an actress in her 20s to take over the role. He said at the time he had considered using de-aging technology in order to allow Theron but has decided against doing so. Taylor-Joy is 24.

Miller will direct, co-write, and produce the film.
