Summary
TheFuriosatrailer may finally debut soon, giving fans a much-anticipated first look at the long-awaited prequel toMad Max: Fury Road.
Fans have been anticipating the backstory of Imperator Furiosa, first played by Charlize Theron inMad Max: Fury Road. The film raised the bar forGeorge Miller’sMad Maxfranchiseby putting Max Rockatansky (Tom Hardy) in the middle of a sex trafficking plot. Stumbling onto the nonconsensual wives of Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne), Max ultimately accepts the duty to help Furiosa get them to safety. The two sadly part ways at the end of the film, but fan fervor for Furiosa could not be subdued.
Now viewers can glimpse what Miller has been working on all this time and see if it is areturn to classicMad Max. According toDaniel Richtman, an online scooper with a respectable track record, the firstFuriosatrailer will premiere in December 2023. The long-awaited trailer will reportedly be released withAquaman2, another anticipated Warner Bros. blockbuster.
Taylor-Joy plays the titular character inFuriosa,replacing Theron in the role. With additional cast members, including Immortan Joe’s son Rictus (Nathan Jones), it’s seemingly safe to say thatFuriosawill include her kidnapping mentioned briefly inFury Road. Furiosa tells a tale that she and her mother were taken away from their matriarchal society and put to work in Immortan Joe’s commune. From there, she lost her arm and became one of the dictator’s feared Imperators.
The film will also put to rest many theories about Furiosa’s relationship with Immortan Joe. Not explicitly stated, many have wondered if the character was once also breeding stock in addition to his young wives depicted in the film. Furiosa seems personally moved by the plight of these women, and when she goes to kill Joe in the film’s climax, she asks if he remembers her. This theory could all be conjecture but may be explored in the upcoming film.
Other details have been kept securely under wraps.Chris Hemsworth was also cast inFuriosain an unconfirmed part but is rumored to play a villain. His character could be the rare opportunity to see Hemsworth in a gruesome role. Typically, Hemsworth is featured in glamorized roles. He has played a literal deity in the MCU for the past decade, and it is high time fans see him as a character that isn’t traditionally handsome. TheMad Maxuniverse is the perfect role for an actor looking to spice things up. There is nothing glamorous about the dystopian world ofMad Max, and Furiosa’s origin is certain to be harrowing.
Furiosawill premiere on June 14, 2025.
