Mad Max: Furiosa is an upcoming prequel spin-off to the Mad Max franchise, centering around the origins of the character Imperator Furiosa, who was played by Charlize Theron in the 2015 film Mad Max: Fury Road. The film will star Anya Taylor-Joy as a young Furiosa and Chris Hemsworth as the villain, and will likely feature a conflict between Hemsworth's character and that of Tom Burke, who replaced Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Dementus. The film will be directed by George Miller and co-produced by Doug Mitchell, with the same crew as Fury Road returning to work on the project. The film will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures and will delve into Furiosa's past, chronicling her journey to becoming a strong-willed and moral leader, and answering questions about how she lost her arm and gained a prosthetic in its place. The film is set to release in 2024.
