FURIOSA Will Have a Mad Max Cameo (Which Could Lead to Another Prequel Movie)
Warner Bros. Pictures

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is taking us back in time to tell the prequel story of Furiosa. But, of course, though this movie will focus on Furiosa, the character of Mad Max is still lurking somewhere in the world. But will we see Max Rockatansky, a.k.a. Mad Max, appear in the Furiosa film? The answer, according to director George Miller, is yes. But there’s more to the story than that. Here’s what we know.

Mad Max Will Cameo in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga Prequel Movie

When asked about Max Rockatansky’s appearance in Furiosa, George Miller shared the following with Entertainment Weekly. He noted, “In doing what we did in the preparation of Mad Max: Fury Road, we also wrote what happened to Max in the year before we encounter him in [that film]. And as we get towards the end of this movie, the chronology… Basically, we had to see that Mad Max was lurking around somewhere because we do know what happened.”

Both Mad Max and his iconic car, The Interceptor, will appear in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. However, Entertainment Weekly notes that this appearance will be “a humorously appropriate blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo.” Though Mad Max will appear in Furiosa, it does not sound like Tom Hardy will return to play him. But, we guess you never know.

Mad Max’s momentary cameo in Furiosa could lead to something even bigger, though. Miller goes onto say, “The writers know what happened to Mad Max in that year before, and we have a whole story of that, which I would like to do sometime if I get the chance.” Sounds like another Mad Max Saga prequel is already cooking and Furiosa could lead right into it.

We certainly wouldn’t say no to more of our favorite dusty world.
