George Miller Explains Why Charlize Theron Was Replaced For Furiosa By Anya Taylor-Joy



When the Mad Max prequel Furiosa was announced, fans were excited to learn more about Imperator Furiosa. They looked forward to seeing Oscar winner Charlize Theron return for another crack at the role. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out as Anya Taylor-Joy is playing a younger version of the beloved survivalist. With the prequel coming to theaters soon, Mad Max impresario George Miller explained why Taylor-Joy replaced Theron.

The road to getting a Mad Max: Fury Road follow-up has been filled with multiple rumors and false starts before Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth were cast. Miller felt pressured by audiences craving for more Mad Max. Unbeknownst to them, the celebrated filmmaker has been working on Furiosa’s story for years. He even shared the Fury Road cast and crew, including Theron, the script before shooting the sequel’s production. Miller revealed to ComicBook how Theron reacted to reading the Furiosa script, saying:

So, everyone read a script a few years ago, the concept art and everything, and everyone read the screenplay in order to do Fury Road, not just the actors but everybody. [Charlize] read it about six months before, and she said, ‘We’ve got to do this first.’ I said, Charlize, we’ve been trying to do this movie for almost a decade, and we’re all prepared to do this one. We have to do it, but she was very excited about it.
