As a gamer and a huge fan of the Mad Max franchise, I was thrilled when I heard that George Miller was releasing a prequel to Fury Road, titled Furiosa. I had high expectations for this film, especially since Charlize Theron‘s portrayal of Imperator Furiosa in Fury Road was one of my favorite performances in recent memory.
George Miller’s highly anticipated “Furiosa: A Mad Max Story,” a prequel to 2015’s “Fury Road,” premiered in cinemas this summer. Although it didn’t generate significant box office revenue, the film featuring Anya Taylor-Joy garnered positive reviews from critics and audiences. Eagerly awaited opinions came from Charlize Theron, the original Imperator Furiosa actress. Finally, she shared her thoughts on Miller’s latest production.
Charlize Theron shone brilliantly as Furiosa in “Mad Max: Fury Road,” a role that has been hailed by many as one of her finest acting achievements. However, it came as a letdown to some fans when they learned that Theron would not be reprising her character for the latest addition to the post-apocalyptic series. Nevertheless, Theron has shown unwavering support for George Miller’s new project during its production process. When asked if she had seen the film herself, she replied affirmatively and offered praise for it.
It’s amazing, it’s a beautiful film.
At the fourth annual event for her Africa Outreach Project, The Atomic Blonde, or Charlize Theron, expressed her delight with The Hollywood Reporter about enjoying “The Movie.” Her kind remarks are sure to be appreciated by Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Hemsworth, George Miller, and their team. Regarding Taylor-Joy, there have been speculations about when she would meet with her potential co-star Theron for a chat about the project. Towards the end of 2022, the “Queen’s Gambit” star admitted that they hadn’t connected yet. According to Theron’s recent statements, their encounter is still pending:
“Despite our efforts, it seems fate keeps bringing us close, yet preventing us from having a proper conversation. It’s almost comical – we keep crossing paths at inopportune moments, leaving us to exclaim, ‘Oh no, not now!’ Eventually, when the timing is perfect, we’ll manage to find the time to connect.”

Charlize Theron expressed sadness in the past about being replaced as the leading character in the prequel, Mad Max: Furiosa. Director George Miller shared the script with her initially but ultimately decided against using de-aging technology for the production. Though displeased, Theron respected Miller’s decision and kept her comments diplomatic regarding the film. Tom Hardy, an actor from the Mad Max franchise, also expressed support despite not having seen it yet.
It’s a shame that we missed out on seeing Snow White and the Huntsman’s star in the role of Furiosa, but Anya Taylor-Joy breathed new life into the character with her captivating performance. It’s heartwarming to learn that her predecessor was a fan of the prequel as well. Fingers crossed that these talented actresses have the opportunity to connect and share their experiences within George Miller’s iconic Mad Max universe.
