George Miller has an idea for another Mad Max movie following Furiosa that he’s “certainly working on.”
Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Miller explained how he outlined Mad Max’s backstory prior to making 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road and how that played into Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, which releases in United States theaters later this month.
“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],” Miller said. “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.”
When asked for further details about the ambiguous project, Miller said, “Well, we are certainly working on it. And as I say, we wrote that basically as a novella, and now we’ve got a chance, we will get that into a screenplay form, and then we’ll take it from there.”
Miller directed the first two installments of the Mad Max franchise — 1979’s Mad Max and 1981’s Mad Max 2 — by himself. The third film, 1985’s Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, was co-directed by Miller and George Ogilvie. Miller then returned to the franchise years later with 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road and 2024’s Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.
Miller has also previously spoken about making more Mad Max stories following Fury Road as, at one point, he was working on a film titled Mad Max: The Wasteland.
Starring Anya Taylor-Joy as Imperator Furiosa and Chris Hemsworth as Warlord Dementus, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga releases in United States theaters on May 24, 2024.
