Are you ready for the ride of your life? You better be! Because a new Mad Max movie, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, is coming to theaters in 2024. Based on the trailer that dropped last week, this movie is going to kick just as much ass as Charlize Theron did in 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road.
Director George Miller, who’s helmed every film in the Mad Max franchise since the original cult hit in 1979, is once again back with his specific flavor of chaos. Intended as a prequel and a spin-off to the hit 2015 movie, Furiosa stars Anya Taylor-Joy as a young Imperator Furiosa. Thor star Chris Hemsworth will star alongside Taylor-Joy, the leader of a biker gang in this post-apocalyptic hell scape. Like almost all of the Mad Max films, Furiosa is likely to be more about awesome steam punk vibes than it is about plot and character. A quick look at the stylish trailer, which you can watch above, should be enough to get audiences begging for more.
Here’s what we know about Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga so far, including the Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga release date, cast, plot, and more.
The new Mad Max movie, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, will open in theaters in the U.S. on May 24, 2024.
The Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga cast stars Anya Taylor-Joy as Imperator Furiosa, and also includes Chris Hemsworth, Alyla Browne, Tom Burke, Nathan Jones, and Angus Sampson.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is a prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road that tells the origin story of future war captain Imperator Furiosa, who was played by Charlize Theron in the 2015 film. Now played by Taylor-Joy, this younger Furiosa is, according to the official Warner Bros. movie synopsis, “snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falls into the hands of a great Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus [played by Chris Hemsworth]. 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.”
