“Whatever you do, whatever it takes — promise me you’ll find your way home.” This is what “the darkest of angels is told.”
The last time we visited George Miller’s Mad Max universe, 2015’s Fury Road won a half-dozen Oscars. Super-fast-forward, and now we have the first trailer for its prequel, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. Have a look above and see the poster below.
Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth star in the pic that returns to that iconic dystopian world launched 45 years ago with the low-budget/high-octane Mel Gibson-led Mad Max. Oscar winner and six-time nominee Miller is back at the helm for the action fest he co-wrote with Nico Lathouris.

Here’s your logline: As the world fell, young Furiosa (Taylor-Joy) is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falls into the hands of a great Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus. Sweeping through the Wasteland, they come across the Citadel presided over by The Immortan Joe. While the two Tyrants war for dominance, Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home.
Alyla Browne and Tom Burke also star. Among the Fury Road Oscar winners returning for this trip are production designer Colin Gibson, editor Margaret Sixel, sound mixer Ben Osmo, costume designer Jenny Beavan and makeup designer Lesley Vanderwalt.
Warner Bros opens the pic from Village Roadshow Pictures on May 24 stateside, with its overseas rollout starting two days earlier. Furious also will rev up in Imax theaters.
