Chris Hemsworth found it "somewhat liberating and refreshing" to ditch the "heroic Thor space" and play a villain in 'Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga'. The 40-year-old actor has starred as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since the 2011 film of the same name and reprised the role in several subsequent movies, but he was grateful to step away from playing a hero to star as Dementus, the warlord leader of the Biker Horde, which abducted Furiosa, and eventual ruler of Gastown, in George Miller's fifth instalment in the blockbuster post-apocalyptic action franchise. Speaking to SFX magazine, he said:...

Tom Burke’s role in ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’ came as a “great surprise”. The 42-year-old actor always wanted to star in a blockbuster action film but didn’t think his earlier career choices would lead to a role such as Praetorian Jack in the new movie. He told Big Issue magazine: “Mel Gibson was one of my favourite actors, so my younger self would love to know I was going to do a ‘Mad Max’ film. “Richard Harris and Anton Lesser re the people who made me want to act, but I also loved Mel Gibson and Eddie Murphy. “I remember watching ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ with my dad and him going, ‘That man has ...

Anya Taylor-Joy "tried not to take on the pressure" while filming 'Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga'. The 28-year-old actress plays Imperator Furiosa in the new 'Mad Max' movie, and Anya feels she was under scrutiny because she was following in the footsteps of Charlize Theron, who played Furiosa in 2015's 'Mad Max: Fury Road'.

George Miller is planning more 'Mad Max' films. The 79-year-old filmmaker spent more than a decade working on prequel 'Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga', his fifth movie in the franchise across a 45-year period and he admitted there are "certainly" other stories he wants to tell featuring the same characters.

George Miller contemplated using de-aging technology so that Charlize Theron could feature in 'Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga'. The 79-year-old filmmaker has helmed the new 'Mad Max' prequel and explained that he opted to cast Anya Taylor-Joy as a younger version of the title character after being left unconvinced by the use of the tech in films such as Martin Scorsese's 'The Irishman' and Ang Lee's 'Gemini Man'. George told Variety: "Both of them were masterful directors, but it was never persuasive. "I thought all people would be watching is Charlize looking young and knowing it's an effect." The d...
