Almost a decade after Charlize Theron introduced us to Furiosa in Mad Max: Fury Road, she finally got her own prequel. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga stars Anya Taylor-Joy as the titular heroine and follows her backstory from childhood to her encounters with the warlord Dementus (Chris Hemsworth) in the desert. After making its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival this month, the film is now playing in theaters, and it’s already received some high praise.
Taylor-Joy recently spoke to ELLE about taking on the role. “The most beautiful and heartbreaking thing about Furiosa is that she’s the embodiment of impossible hope—living in a world where everything is a violation to you,” she said. “The air that you breathe, the lack of food, the fact that empathy is punished, that trust is punished. And throughout it all, she just has this relentless conviction that she’s going to make good on that promise she made. I still get chills thinking about it.”
While Furiosa marks the latest of director George Miller’s Mad Max films (the first debuted in 1979), it might not be the last. In an interview with Digital Spy, Miller opened up about the future of the series.
“At this point, I’ve speculated what happens after Furiosa ascends to the top of the Citadel, but I haven’t got those stories mapped out at all yet. There’s a lot to tell yet with the Mad Max story,” Miller shared.
Rumors about a sixth movie, Mad Max: The Wasteland, have been up in the air for a while now. But Miller didn’t have any firm updates on the potential project. “I can never predict any one of these,” he admitted to Digital Spy. “If Furiosa does well enough, and we’ve got the appetite for it, we’ll move forward. But at this point, it’s way too early.”
With Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga officially in theaters, ahead is everything to know about how to stream the sci-fi/action movie from home.
Where can you stream Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga?
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is still playing at your local theater, but it’s also available to rent or purchase online on VOD platforms like Prime Video and Apple TV+.
Since it’s a Warner Bros. production, the movie will eventually find its way onto the streaming platform Max, however there is still no estimated arrival date. According to Business Insider, most studios wait around 45 days after a film’s theatrical release before it hits streaming. Warner Bros. previously followed the 45-day rule with The Batman in 2022, but it waited longer to bring Dune 2 to the platform this year. The wait time might vary per title.
In the meantime, the other Mad Max films are available on the streamer.
