George Miller’s Already Working On His Next Mad Max Story
Later this month, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga will give Anya Taylor-Joy’s Imperator Furiosa an origin story that takes place years before her first appearance in Mad Max: Fury Road. But just because this is Furiosa’s film, it doesn’t mean that there’s no sign of Mad Max himself. While speaking with EW, Furiosa director George Miller confirmed that there will be a brief appearance by his iconic character as an Easter Egg for fans. It may also lead to the next film in the franchise.
“In doing what we did in the preparation of Mad Max: Fury Road, we also wrote what happened to Max in the year before we encounter him in [that film],” said Miller. “And as we get towards the end of [Furiosa], the chronology, basically, we had to see that Mad Max was lurking around somewhere because we do know what happened. The writers know what happened to Mad Max in that year before, and we have a whole story of that, which I would like to do sometime if I get the chance.”
Miller also clarified that this previously untold Mad Max story isn’t written down as a script yet. But that’s next on the agenda for Miller.
