Furiosa, the Mad Max prequel starring Anya Taylor-Joy, eyes a world premiere at next year's Cannes Film Festival.
The Big Picture One of next year's biggest blockbusters is looking to premiere at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, with Variety reporting that Furiosa could potentially hold its first screening at the French celebration. The Mad Max prequel will feature Anya Taylor-Joy in the action role previously portrayed by Charlize Theron, in a story that would explore the formative years of the brave character. While production on the movie has already taken place, Warner Bros.
Taylor-Joy won't be the only major star attached to the project, with Chris Hemsworth also being a part of the movie's cast. The Thor actor will play Immortan Joe, the powerful character seen in 2015's Mad Max: Fury Road portrayed by Hugh Keays-Byrne. A different story will be told, explaining why by the time Fury Road takes place, Joe has the power to convince several warriors to go after Furiosa and Max .
Geroge Miller, who has been the filmmaker in charge of Max's journey since the character appeared on the big screen in 1979, came back once more to sit behind the camera for Furiosa. The director had been working on another story set in that universe for a long time, but several delays prevented him from working on the project until now.
It Lives, It Dies, It Lives Again The supporting cast of Furiosa will be rounded out by Tom Burke in the role of Dementus and Nathan Jones portraying Rictus Erectus. While the Cannes Film Festival focuses on the debut of new independent projects, it can also be a prestigious space for blockbusters to premiere when studios are feeling confident about them.
