Chris Hemsworth's Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga To Explore How Fury Was Born

Chris Hemsworth recently unveiled a poster for the upcoming film Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga on his Instagram account. The poster showcases Anya Taylor-Joy as Furiosa, a character formerly portrayed by Charlize Theron in 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road. With the tagline “Fury is born," the poster suggests the film’s thrilling and action-packed narrative. Positioned within the same dystopian universe as Mad Max: Fury Road, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga serves as a prequel, delving into the origins of the iconic character Furiosa. The storyline centers on a young Furiosa’s capture by the Warlord Dementus and her Biker Horde.

“As the world fell, young Furiosa is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falls into the hands of a great Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus. Sweeping through the Wasteland they come across the Citadel presided over by the Immortan Joe. While the two Tyrants war for dominance, Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home," read the official plot summary of the film.

The film showcases Furiosa’s resilience in the face of adversity. During Brazil’s CCXP fan convention in November, Taylor-Joy described Furiosa as “a story of grit, survival, and impossible hope." Hemsworth, who plays the ruthless Warlord Dementus, added that his character is “a very violent, insane, brutal person that is born from the Wasteland," highlighting the harsh and brutal nature of the film’s world, reports Comicbook.

“There’s an intensity to him, there’s a brutality," Hemsworth explained. “He has been birthed into a space where it’s kill or be killed, and he’s learned to rule with an iron fist. There’s a charisma to him, and it’s a manipulative charisma," he added.

Apart from the official poster, Warner Bros. Pictures has also released a two-part official trailer for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, featuring a young Furiosa and the menacing Warlord Dementus.

This much-awaited film from the hit franchise is set to hit theatres on May 24th, promising audiences an intense and thrilling ride through the chaotic world of Mad Max.
