Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
Summary
WhileFuriosa ’s manager suggested theMad Maxspinoff could have a major cameo , this would n’t be a respectable idea for the dealership ’s hereafter . The timeline of theMad Maxmovies is far from clear . 1979 ’s originalMad Maxis set in the near future where society is beginning to check down , but the world remains recognizable . Its sequelsThe Road WarriorandBeyond Thunderdometake place after an off - screen Book of Revelation , with civilisation reduced to a few folk of survivor who eke out a brutal beingness in the desert . 2015 ’s rebootFury Roaddidn’t make thing any vindicated .
It was n’t immediately obvious whether this sequel accept place beforeThe Road Warrioror afterBeyond Thunderdome , althoughMad Max ’s first spinoffFuriosaseemed like it could clarify this issue . The prequel , which will focus on the backstory ofFury Road ’s heroine Furiosa , flashes back to in the first place in the franchise timeline . However , Furiosa ’s prevue discover that the spinoff will be set after the franchise ’s unspecified Revelation of Saint John the Divine , intend the prequel wo n’t clarify the issue any further . Not only that , but manager George Miller promised aCCXP23panel that unhinged Max himself might look in the moving-picture show , which could be disastrous .
Max Appearing In Furiosa Risks Creating A Fury Road Plot Hole
Mad Max appearing would just be a distraction
require aboutFuriosa ’s setting , Miller told a CCXP23 gore that the picture show necessitate place “ 15 geezerhood right away before Mad Max : Fury Road . ”Miller then hinted that Mad Max could be inFuriosa , saying Max is " Lurking around somewhere in this story . ” While this sounds like a fun potential crossover voter , the whirl could ruin Furiosa ’s spinoff by distracting from her storyline . Mad Max showing up inFuriosawould only confusetheMad Maxfranchise timeline . After all , Furiosa ’s trailer promises that the moving picture would take place 45 years after the collapse , butMad Maxdepicted Max as a twenty - something before the apocalypse .
IfFuriosatakes space 15 eld beforeFury route , Max should technically be in his ‘ eighty by then . This sort of inconsistency is soft to disregard in a standalone classic likeFury route , butifFuriosadraws care to Max ’s presence this could bankrupt the prequel . Moreover , Fury Roadwas primarily praise precisely because the movie focused on Furiosa ’s fresh , original tale more than Max ’s return . As such , it would be bitterly ironic if the heroine ’s own movie was overshadowed by Max ’s front , and it would be tough forFuriosato reveal that Max and Furiosa run across before without this cark viewers .
Furiosa Doesn’t Need Max (Even If The Franchise Does)
Furiosa is confident enough to stand on her own
Tom Hardy might never return as delirious Max in a unexampled sequel , so recasting a vernal variant of Max would make sense for the series . However , that ’s not something that needs to happen inFuriosa . The doubtfulness of whetherMad Max 5 : The Wastelandneeds a newstar should be addressed by the subsequence itself , whileFuriosashould focus on its own title character . Furiosa becameFury Road ’s breakout star because viewers require to see more of her , and the enfranchisement ’s first prequel needs to concenter on this promise . Otherwise , the original hero of theMad Maxseries could inadvertently jump its spinoff , Furiosa .
