This new movie will cover how Joe gained the ability to rally warriors against Furiosa and Max.
The official synopsis, according to CBR, reads: âAs the word 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.â
Taylor-Joy talked about her role on the podcast Inside Total Film, CBR reported.
âThe main thing that [co-writer/director] George [Miller] and I spoke about was that Fury Road is a road movie,â the actress said. âYou know, it takes place over, I think, three days: getting somewhere, and then turning around, and coming back. And [Furiosa] 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.â
Furiosa is due to hit theaters on May 24, 2024.
