Mad Max creator and director George Miller has revealed that he will honor Mad Max: Fury Road star Hugh Keays-Byrne in the upcoming prequel, Furiosa.
Anya Taylor-Joy has been cast in the role of the younger version of Furiosa, taking over from Mad Max: Fury Road star Charlize Theron.
Keays-Byrne, who played both Toecutter in the first Mad Max back in 1979, and Immortan Joe in 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road, sadly passed away earlier this month at the age of 73.
George Miller is returning to co-write, direct and produce the project alongside his long-time Oscar-nominated producing partner Doug Mitchell.
