A new trailer has been released for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, showing off more of the epic post-apocalyptic environments and action that the titular character will be involved in. This new look at the Mad Max spin-off–billed as a standalone action film by director George Miller–is a highlight reel of what fans of the franchise can expect, including imaginative cars in the outback wilderness, Chris Hemsworth hamming it up as the Warlord Dementus, and even a few glimpses at Mad Max: Fury Road’s memorable villain, Immortan Joe.
And in case you’re wondering, the trailer is using a heavy remix of Nirvana’s “The Man Who Sold the World” to set an explosive tone.
Starring Anya Taylor-Joy as a young Furiosa–the role was originally played by Charlize Theron in Fury Road–the film charts the origin of the road warrior and how she became a legend of the wasteland. “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,” the plot synopsis reads. “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.”
Following the death of Hugh Keays-Byrne several years ago, Miller recast the role of Immortan Joe with Australian actor Lachy Hulme, and the film’s cast also includes Alyla Browne and Tom Burke. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga will be in theaters on May 24, 2024, almost 10 years after the last film in the franchise was first released. Expectations are high for this chapter in the Mad Max saga, as Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes has slightly shifted its release date to avoid a direct confrontation with Furiosa.
