Mad Max: Fury Road Star Charlize Theron Shares Thoughts on Furiosa

As a seasoned gamer and a huge fan of the Mad Max franchise, I’m thrilled that we were given the opportunity to witness Anya Taylor-Joy’s portrayal of a younger Furiosa in “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.” This film was a must-watch for me, and it didn’t disappoint. The connection between Charlize Theron, who brought Furiosa to life in the previous installments, and Taylor-Joy is something that I find fascinating.


The film “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,” which is the fifth installment in George Miller’s renowned “Mad Max” series, came out earlier this year. Set before the occurrences of “Mad Max: Fury Road,” it featured Anya Taylor-Joy portraying a younger version of Furiosa, a character initially brought to life by Charlize Theron. Lately, Taylor-Joy disclosed that she and Theron have been exchanging emails, and they’re looking forward to having a lengthy dinner together. However, it seems their schedules haven’t aligned yet. On Saturday, Theron organized the fourth annual event for her Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project, and in an interview with “The Hollywood Reporter,” she discussed “Furiosa” and expressed her desire to meet up with Taylor-Joy.

Theron expressed her awe for “Furiosa” by saying, “It’s incredible, such a breathtaking film.” Regarding her interaction with Taylor-Joy since the movie’s premiere, she admitted, “We’ve genuinely tried to connect but haven’t had the chance yet. It’s been one of those situations where our paths keep crossing at inopportune moments. We’re always exclaiming, ‘Oh my goodness, we must meet!’ Only for life to get in the way. But when the timing is right, we will.”

A few years ago, we all went through the script for “Fury Road,” including the concept art, to prepare for the production. It wasn’t just the actors who read it; everyone did. Charlize Theron had already read it about half a year prior and was eager to start filming right away. I remember we had been trying to make this movie for almost ten years at that point, but Charlize’s enthusiasm was contagious, and we all agreed to follow her lead.

“Miller intended for us to begin the project, and we eventually did so with ‘Furiosa.’ However, due to the involvement of various Warner Bros. executives over the years – approximately four different regimes – a full decade had passed before we could start. I then considered the possibility of working with Charlize Theron again, but upon seeing films like ‘The Irishman’ and ‘Gemini Man,’ which utilized technology to make actors appear younger, I realized that the technology available at the time wasn’t advanced enough for our needs.”

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is now available on VOD.
