‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ Prequel ‘Furiosa’ Casting News

Date:

Chris Hemsworth is going to play the villain lead in the upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road prequel Furiosa.

Pre-production is still underway for the project, but the Australian actor will act opposite of Anya Taylor-Joy’s Furiosa. This is a change for Chris Hemsworth who frequently plays the good guy in every project. The movie is based on Kyle Buchanan’s novel Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wilde and True Story of Mad Max: Fury Road and will be turned into a movie by producer P.J. Voeten. 

Voeten recently discussed why he decided to cast Hemsworth in a recent podcast saying, “George saw Chris [Hemsworth] initially as a courtesy and then fell in love with the idea. He’s going to play totally against type, the lead baddie. Unfortunately, we’ve got to find all of our other characters that aren’t around anymore: a new Immortan, a new Bullet Farmer, and a few others.”

The podcast quote illustrates that Hemsworth will potentially play a villain unlike one of the characters listed. It also hints that some of the original Fury Road characters will be making a return in the prequel. 

Furiosa hits theaters on May 24, 2024.
