Furiosa A Mad Max Saga trailer: Chris Hemsworth goes over-the-top as he takes on Anya Taylor-Joy’s fierce warrior

While the trailer doesn’t reveal too much action, which has always been the highlight of the Mad Max movies, it does promise a layered central performance by Taylor-Joy, whose star has been on the rise ever since she headlined the acclaimed Netflix series The Queen’s Gambit. Furiosa was written even before Fury Road, which served as the fourth film in the long-running action series, originally led by Mel Gibson.

Each movie in the franchise has been directed by Miller, who famously faced several setbacks while making Fury Road in Africa a decade ago. The film was marked by a difficult production, which saw stars Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron butting heads while dealing with a chaotic production in the desert. It was nominated for 10 Oscars and is frequently cited as one of the greatest action films ever made, but was declared a commercial underperformer despite delivering the best box office haul in the franchise’s history. Furiosa will be released in theatres in May 2024.
