Almost a decade has passed since we last visited George Millerâs Wasteland and now itâs almost time to return. In just two short weeks, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, a prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road, will be here and itâll be a lovely day indeed.
Tickets just went on sale for the film and to celebrate, Warner Bros. released a brand new trailer filled with new action scenes, new vehicles, and a stylish rewind to remind you whatâs at stake in the film. Check out the clip right here.
This new phase of marketing is touting an epic âBattle for the Wastelandâ in the film which, having seen it, is the most revealing statement yet. Because yes, Furiosa is obviously a story about a young womanâs (Anya Taylor-Joy) hellish life in this world, alongside a massive war between leadersâChris Hemsworthâs Dementus and Lachy Hulmeâs Immortal Joe among themâwhich allows for all manner of madness. The film is truly about both this one incredible character, as well as this larger, expansive world. And honestly, Iâm not sure the world is ready for the spinning weapon at the back of the War Rig or Dementusâ six-wheel monster truck. Itâs all truly awesome.
Weâll have much more on Furiosa in the coming weeks including interviews with George Miller himself and stars Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth. The film is in theaters May 24. Did you get your tickets yet?
