Anya Taylor-Joy confirmed to be playing Furiosa in Mad Max prequel!

So this is exciting! Deadline reports that director George Miller – the mastermind behind the action-packed, post-apocalyptic MAD MAX franchise – is going forward with his FURIOSA prequel film, and has cast none other than Anya Taylor-Joy (THE VVITCH) in the titular role! She will be playing a younger version of Furiosa – originally played by Charlize Theron in 2015's FURY ROAD – and will chronicle her journey before meeting up with Mad Max.

Taylor-Joy will also be joined by stars Chris Hemsworth (THOR: THE DARK WORLD) and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (AQUAMAN), though their specific roles are currently unknown at this time.
