Warner Bros. has released the latest trailer for Furiosa, the next installment in the Mad Max series, which acts as a prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road. With its global release scheduled for May 23 this year, the new trailer gives viewers another exciting glimpse into this highly anticipated project. The film follows the journey of a young Furiosa, played by Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen's Gambit), a role that in the original installment Charlize Theron (Atomic) played. We meet Furiosa as she is dragged from the Green Place of Mothers and thrown into the clutches of a peculiar gang led by the villain Dementus, with whom she must fight to stay alive.
In this new teaser, viewers can enjoy previously unreleased footage from the film, providing a deeper look at the relentless battle for domination in the Wasteland. We witness the madness of Dementus, played by Chris Hemsworth, the introduction of new characters leading both factions and epic action sequences created by George Miller, the mastermind behind the franchise.
Mad Max: Fury Road, released in 2015, quickly became a modern classic and a favorite among fans of the genre. Therefore, Furiosa faces the challenging goal of winning over the saga's devoted followers. However, prominent figures in the film industry, such as Edgar Wright (Scott Pilgrim vs. The World), have already seen the film and praised its quality.
'While I understand the complexity of filmmaking, I still can't figure out how Dr. George Miller does it. I was lucky enough to see 'Furiosa' a month ago, I just can't get it out of my head,' Wright said in a lengthy review shared on his social media platforms.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga will hit theaters on May 23.
