‘Furiosa’ Cast
- Anya Taylor-Joy as Furiosa
- Chris Hemsworth
- Yahya Abdul-Mateen II
Theron will not return to play Furiosa in the movie, with The Queen’s Gambit star Anya Taylor-Joy cast to portray a younger version of the deadly driver.
Miller has finally secured a return to the franchise after years mired in a legal dispute with Warner Bros following a payment issue around Fury Road.
Miller opted against using de-aging technology to maintain Theron in the role, with the star saying it was “tough to swallow” the fact she wouldn’t get to reprise the character.
She said: “It’s a little heart-breaking, for sure. I really love that character, and I’m so grateful that I had a small part in creating her. She will forever be someone I think of and reflect on fondly.
“Obviously, I would love to see that story continue, and if he feels like he has to go about it this way, then I trust him in that manner.”
Plot of ‘Furiosa’

‘Furiosa’ Trailer

Final words
Warner Bros has now also announced that Furiosa will be coming out on June 23, 2023. And won’t be made exclusive for HBO Max. Earlier, the studio had announced that all its 2021-slated releases will premiere in both theatres and on HBO Max.
Although the studio is noting that Furiosa will receive a theatrical release, that does not necessarily mean that the simultaneous streaming and theatrical launch is out of the question.
But, since COVID-19 should be well behind the world in three years, theaters should be back to full strength for Furiosa‘s release.
