Furiosa Interview: Anya Taylor-Joy & Chris Hemsworth

It’s time to strap in. George Miller’s prequel, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, is taking theaters back to the Wastelands. It’s been nearly a decade since Mad Max: Fury Road rebooted the franchise with epic set pieces and new characters, and fans are ready for another lovely day! To get ready for its release, Collider’s Steve Weintraub sat down with stars Anya Taylor-Joy, who plays the titular role in the movie, and Chris Hemsworth to talk about the moviemaking magic that sets us up 45 years post-society’s collapse. Furiosa is the origin story of a young girl stolen from the Green Place by the warlord and self-proclaimed ruler of the Wasteland, Dr. Dementus (Hemsworth). Taylor-Joy stars as the central focus of this apocalyptic odyssey in the role of Furiosa, previously played by Charlize Theron (Mad Max: Fury Road), whose sole mission is to return home and to her family where she was taken from — at all costs. We’re getting more of the despicable Immortan Joe, played in this film by Lachy Hulme (The Matrix Revolutions), more War Boys, and all-new characters played by Tom Burke (Only God Forgives), Charlee Fraser (Anyone But You), and more. Check out the full interview in the video above to find out why Miller’s movies make filmmakers and actors feel like audience members again. Taylor-Joy and Hemsworth also reflect on the most challenging sequences to film while on set in Australia and discuss upcoming projects like Scott Derrickson’s (The Black Phone) sci-fi romance, The Gorge, and Sam Hargrave’s threequel, Extraction 3. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga races into theaters on May 24. #anyataylorjoy #chrishemsworth #furiosa For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL
