George Miller is currently developing a Mad Max: Fury Road spinoff movie centered on Charlize Theron‘s Imperator Furiosa character, with The Witch and The New Mutants star Anya Taylor-Joy taking over the role. It’s a prequel simply titled Furiosa at this time, and tonight we’ve learned that Warner Bros. has already handed the film a release date.
Furiosa is currently set for release in theaters on June 23, 2023.
Chris Hemsworth and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Candyman) will also star.
Furiosa will tell the origin story of the character Theron made famous in Fury Road.
Miller is co-writing and directing the movie for Warner Bros.
Back in 2015, Mad Max: Fury Road grossed nearly $400 million worldwide at the box office and won SIX Oscars, while also scoring rave reviews nearly across the entire board.
Last we heard, Miller also intends on making sequels centered on Tom Hardy‘s Mad Max.
