MAD MAX: FURIOSA Promo Art Offers First Look at Anya-Taylor Joy as Furiosa
This promo art created for George Miller’s Mad Max: Furiosa offers us our first look at Anya Taylor-Joy, in the role of Furiosa. This is such a badass character, and I have no doubt that Joy is going to be badass in the role.
In the film, "As the world fell, young Furiosa is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falls into the hands of a great Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus. Sweeping through the Wasteland they come across the Citadel presided over by The Immortan Joe. While the two Tyrants war for dominance, Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home."
When previously talking about the film Joy says that Miller considers this new movie an epic, and she explains why, saying: "The main thing that George and I spoke about was that Fury Road is a road movie. You know, it takes place over, I think, three days: getting somewhere, and then turning around, and coming back. And this is an epic. This takes place over a long period of time, and you kind of get to know [Furiosa] better in that way. I love that character so much. That whole experience was mind-boggling, and George is the best. I hope that [people] enjoy it."
Chris Hemsworth takes on the role of villainous Warlord Dementus, and he looked unrecognizable on set as he sports long hair, nose prosthetics, and a beard. The rest of the cast includes Tom Burke, Angus Sampson, Nathan Jones, Daniel Webber, Lachy Hulme, and Quaden Bayles.
The images were snapped at the Furiosa booth at the upcoming CCXP convention. Mad Max: Furiosa is scheduled to hit theaters on May 24, 2024.
