The George Miller directed movie will take us back in time and introduce a younger version the Mad Max: Fury Road character, Imperator Furiosa, with Hemsworth eyed to play a key figure from her past.
Though not much is yet known about the direction of Mad Max: Furiosa, Miller has recently hinted that, while the character was a hero in Fury Road, this may not always be the case.
In news that should be strictly filed under “intriguing rumor”, a casting call has reportedly leaked for the upcoming Mad Max prequel, Mad Max: Furiosa, that reportedly indicates that the studio want Marvel Cinematic Universe alumni Chris Hemsworth for a lead role.
Miller plans to begin production on Mad Max: Furiosa sometime next year, with The New Mutants star Anya Taylor-Joy reportedly in talks to take on the Furiosa mantle from Theron.
