Warner Bros. Pictures has unveiled the first trailer for George Miller’s Furiosa A Mad Max Saga starring Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth, the much-anticipated return to the iconic dystopian world he created more than 30 years ago with the Mad Max franchise.

Miller now turns the page again with an all-new original, standalone action adventure that will reveal the origins of the powerhouse character from 2015’s Mad Max Fury Road.

The synopsis reads:

As the world fell, young Furiosa 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.

Taylor-Joy stars in the title role, and along with Hemsworth, the film also stars Alyla Browne and Tom Burke.

Miller penned the script with Mad Max Fury Road co-writer Nico Lathouris. Miller’s behind-the-scenes creative team includes first assistant director PJ Voeten and second unit director and stunt coordinator Guy Norris, director of photography Simon Duggan (Hacksaw Ridge, The Great Gatsby), composer Tom Holkenborg, sound designer Robert Mackenzie, editor Eliot Knapman, visual effects supervisor Andrew Jackson and colourist Eric Whipp. The team also includes other longtime collaborators: production designer Colin Gibson, editor Margaret Sixel, sound mixer Ben Osmo, costume designer Jenny Beavan and makeup designer Lesley Vanderwalt, each of whom won an Oscar for their work on Mad Max Fury Road.

Furiosa A Mad Max Saga premieres on 22 May 2024.
