Charlize Theron's 'Furiosa' Won't Have A Prominent Role In The MAD MAX Sequel
According to director George Miller, Charlize Theron's Imperator Furiosa will not be the lead female protagonist in the Mad max sequel....
After George Miller's Mad Max Fury Road was over, many people were not only thrilled with Tom Hardy's performance as Max, but many people got a kick out of Charlize Theron's character, Furiosa as well. When the Mad Max: Fury Road sequel was announced, lots of people hoped to see her in action once more. However, in a new interview with Digital Spy, director George Miller doesn't think that'll be the case. "I'm not sure, is the answer. She's not in the Mad Max [sequel] story, but in one of the stories there's an interaction between [Max and Furiosa]. I can't really say more than that because it's still in progress." So she won’t be kicked out of the sequel entirely, she just won’t have the type of role she had in the first film.
While many of you might not be too pleased with the Furiosa situation, director George Miller also revealed that the sequel film may not be titled Mad Max: The Wasteland after all. "That name came out, that was just a working title. Nico Lathouris and I wrote deep backstories on all the characters and they eventually became screenplays - so we have two [more movies].” He then continued and told how he doesn’t want that many special effects and stunts for the next film. “I'm happy to say that there's discussions about them right now, but I hope the next film I make is a very small without any special effects and not many stunts.”
So, to sum everything up, Furiosa will be kicked to the curb, and off of the Fury Road, and the official title for the Mad Max sequel is still in the air as of now. What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comment section below, but before you do that, check out the short clip below.
