Up first in the lineup will be writer/director/producer George Miller's Furiosa, a prequel to his hit Mad Max: Fury Road that introduced the wildly popular character. A 2023 movie slate won't satisfy those creators in the short term, but it might keep them from dropping the studio.
For the new prequel, Furiosa will be performed by Anya Taylor-Pleasure.
The next two films, "Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior" and "Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome", were also successful in earning positive reviews and money at the box office. Well, we now have an official confirmation of the movie's release date; June 23, 2023.
Miller has been talking about the potential for a movie about Furiosa ever since the character - played by Charlize Theron - became the breakout star of his acclaimed 2015 return to the franchise. In the end, the film won six Academy Awards, picking up Oscars for Best Film Editing, Best Production Design, Best Costume Design, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Sound Mixing, and Best Sound Editing.
