The wheels are finally in motion for George Miller’s follow-up to his 2015 masterpiece 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mad Max: Fury Road. Titled Furiosa, the prequel🔯 will centre on Charlize Theron’s fan-favourite Imperator in her younger years. However, Miller has confirmed Theron herself will nไot be in the movie.

In an interview with the , the director revealed that he had considered using de-aging technology to keep the actress in the role, but thinks it’s not quite advanced enough yet. “Everyone is on the verge of solving it, particular Japanese video-game designers, but there’s still a pretty wide valley, I believe,” he told the publication. We’re guessing Miller is a fan of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Death Stranding.

A solo movie for Furiosa has been a long-time coming, with a script written before Fury Road had even begun filming. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who played Splendid and got to read the first draft, told the New York Times: “🥂It’s genius.” 

It’s clear that whoever steps into the role will have big shoes to fill. Earlier reports signalled that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Anya Taylor-Joy (star of The VVitch, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Split, and Eꦅmma) has already had a Skype audition with Miller. Other actors are rumoured to have done the same, but their names have not been made public.

Whoever 🐭dons Furiosa’s warpaint next, Miller will no doubt make the right choice, and we’d welcome another ride on the post-apocalyptic hellscape that is the Fury Road any day of the week.

As pre-production gets under way on Furiosa, keep yourself occupied with some of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best movies streaming on Netflix.
