In 2024, practically a decade after the discharge of Mad Max: Fury Street, filmmaker George Miller turned the highlight again on the 2015 film’s breakout character, Furiosa, for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. Anya Taylor-Pleasure inherited the function from Charlize Theron for this prequel chronicling the last decade+ main as much as her assembly Tom Hardy’s Max Rockatansky. So now that Furiosa’s been launched into the world and may at the moment be streamed with a (Mad) Max subscription, can we count on to see extra Mad Max films down the road?
Miller talked about this in an interview with Vulture, saying this after he was requested if we are able to count on extra cinematic Mad Max adventures following Furiosa’s crucial success, however industrial underperformance:
We’ve bought one other script. However having been doing this lengthy sufficient the place I’m habituated to storytelling, I discover myself with method too many tales — not solely in my head, however within the type of screenplays or at the very least very detailed notes which can be inside attain of screenplays. I’m knowledgeable daydreamer, actually. This was seen as my huge deficit as a child: ‘George would do higher at college if he didn’t daydream a lot’ was on my report card.
So George Miller clearly has no drawback developing with concepts on easy methods to proceed the Mad Max franchise and even placing a few of them on paper (so to talk). It’s simply that these concepts aren’t all essentially worthy of being absolutely realized. Nonetheless, there’s a particular concept that Miller might see transferring ahead and already has a drafted script, nevertheless it wouldn’t be the following mission he tackles. As he instructed the publication:
So, there’s a number of tales. Certainly, one in all them is a Mad Max. It’s not one thing I’d do subsequent, as a result of there’s two issues I’m eager to do subsequent. But when for no matter motive the planets align, you’ll be able to by no means inform. Too typically, you’re lining as much as do a film after which one thing occurs. Some issues fall into place and a few don’t, so all I can say is we’ll see.
Along with George Miller having his sights set on different skilled endeavors, I’ll remind these of you studying that whereas Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga was critically nicely acquired, it was a field workplace bomb. With the prequel making simply $168 million worldwide of a reported $173.8 million finances, it’d be comprehensible if Warner Bros. Photos is extra hesitant to pour cash into one other Mad Max film. Nevertheless it’s not like an not possible prospect, so just like the director mentioned, we’ll simply have to attend and see what occurs.
As for what this subsequent Mad Max film could be if it had been to maneuver ahead, the likeliest candidate could be Mad Max: The Wasteland, which George Miller has been speaking about for years. This story would flip our consideration again to Max Rockastansky and present what he was as much as within the yr previous to being taken by Immortan Joe’s forces originally of Fury Street. Nonetheless, final yr Miller additionally talked about that he has an thought for a post-Fury Street film following Charlize Theron’s Furiosa operating the Citadel. Possibly that stands likelihood of being made if Miller feels extra passionately about it.
No matter finally ends up taking place, hold checking again with CinemaBlend for any main updates on the Mad Max franchise. Along with Furiosa, Fury Street and the primary Mad Max film will be discovered on Max… the streaming service.
