Focusing on Furiosa's origin story, the upcoming prequel will explore her abduction, her position as an Imperator, and her complex bond with Immortan Joe.

The long-awaited prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road, the Furiosa trailer, is expected to debut soon, allowing fans to finally catch a glimpse of the much-anticipated film.
Fans of Mad Max: Fury Road have been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to delve into the backstory of Imperator Furiosa, portrayed by Charlize Theron in the original film. By incorporating Max Rockatansky, played by Tom Hardy, into a sex trafficking plot, the movie elevated the standards for George Miller's Mad Max franchise. Max inadvertently becomes involved with Immortan Joe's nonconsensual wives and eventually joins forces with Furiosa to ensure their safety. Although the two characters part ways by the film's end, the overwhelming passion for Furiosa from fans remains unwavering.
Now viewers can catch a glimpse of Miller's latest project and determine if it harkens back to the beloved Mad Max franchise. As per reputable insider Daniel Richtman, the highly anticipated first trailer for Furiosa is slated to debut in December 2023. According to reports, this long-awaited preview will be unveiled alongside Aquaman 2, another eagerly awaited Warner Bros. blockbuster.
Taylor-Joy portrays the lead character in Furiosa, taking over the role from Theron. With the addition of other cast members, including Rictus, Immortan Joe's son (played by Nathan Jones), it appears likely that Furiosa will delve into her kidnapping, briefly mentioned in Fury Road. Furiosa recounts a story of how she and her mother were abducted from their matriarchal society and forced to work in Immortan Joe's commune. It is during this time that she loses her arm and becomes one of the dictator's dreaded Imperators.
Furthermore, the film will put to rest various speculations surrounding Furiosa's relationship with Immortan Joe. While it is never explicitly stated, many have wondered if the character was also used for breeding purposes, in addition to the young wives depicted in the film. Furiosa displays a personal connection to the suffering of these women, and when she confronts Joe in the climax of the film, she asks if he remembers her. While this theory remains speculative, it may be explored further in the upcoming movie.
Additional details have been securely kept confidential. While it's unconfirmed, there are rumors that Chris Hemsworth will also join the cast of Furiosa, possibly as a villain. This potential character could offer a rare glimpse of Hemsworth in a more intense and sinister role, departing from his typically glamorous on-screen personas. Known for portraying a literal god in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the past decade, it's about time fans see him portraying a character who isn't conventionally attractive. In the gritty and desolate world of Mad Max, Hemsworth's involvement in Furiosa could bring an exciting change. The film is scheduled to premiere on May 24, 2024.
