A New Chapter Could Be on the Horizon—If the Planets Align
Legendary filmmaker George Miller has sparked excitement among Mad Max fans by hinting at the possibility of another sequel. With a screenplay already drafted, the future of the franchise may soon expand—if the timing is right.
A New ‘Mad Max’ Sequel Could Be Next
Miller, who revitalized the Mad Max franchise with 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road and last year’s Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, recently revealed in an interview with Vulture that another installment is within reach. While discussing his upcoming projects, the Oscar-winning director shared that a new Mad Max script exists, waiting for the right moment to move forward.
“If for whatever reason the planets align, the project is a go,” Miller stated. He elaborated, “We’ve got another script—not just in my head, but in the form of screenplays or at least very detailed notes that are within reach of screenplays. I’m a professional daydreamer, really. This was seen as my big deficit as a kid: ‘George would do better at school if he didn’t daydream so much’ was on my report card.”
Where the Franchise Could Go Next
With a vast world already established, Miller remains open to exploring different directions for the saga. While he acknowledges that a new Mad Max film isn’t his immediate priority, he reassures fans that the future remains promising.
“So, there’s lots of stories. Indeed, one of them is a Mad Max. It is not something I would do next, because there are two things I’m keen to do first. But if for whatever reason the planets align, you can never tell,” he explained. “Too often, you’re lining up to do a movie and then something happens. Some things fall into place and some don’t, so all I can say is we’ll see.”
Building on the Legacy
*Miller’s Mad Max universe has continuously evolved, with each film adding to its iconic lore. In Fury Road, Tom Hardy took over the role of the titular road warrior, aiding Charlize Theron’s Imperator Furiosa in escaping Immortan Joe’s oppressive rule. The star-studded cast included Nicholas Hoult, Riley Keough, Zoë Kravitz, and Courtney Eaton. More recently, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga introduced Anya Taylor-Joy as a younger version of Theron’s character, alongside Chris Hemsworth.
With an established blueprint for future films and Miller’s continued passion for storytelling, fans can remain hopeful that another high-octane chapter will hit the big screen.
