I’m Stunned By Anya Taylor-Joy’s Role In Furiosa

Anya Taylor-Joy’s role in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is different than one would expect after Mad Max: Fury Road, and I’m stunned by how the movie handles her. The announcement of a Furiosa prequel movie set before Mad Max: Fury Road came with the eventual confirmation that Charlize Theron would not return

to her famous role. Instead, George Miller elected to cast one of Hollywood’s rising stars, Anya Taylor-Joy, to become a slightly younger version of the future Imperator. It was assumed that Furiosa would be a major showcase for the actress as the lead of a big-budget blockbuster.
