We’ve known for a while now that George Miller has been developing a Mad Max: Fury Road spinoff movie centered on Charlize Theron‘s Imperator Furiosa character, and today The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that The Witch and The New Mutants star Anya Taylor-Joy has officially landed the titular role in that film, simply titled Furiosa!
Chris Hemsworth and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Candyman) will also star.
Furiosa will tell the origin story of the character Theron made famous in Fury Road.
Miller is co-writing and directing the movie for Warner Bros.
Back in 2015, Mad Max: Fury Road grossed nearly $400 million worldwide at the box office and won SIX Oscars, while also scoring rave reviews nearly across the entire board.
Last we heard, Miller also intends on making sequels centered on Tom Hardy‘s Mad Max.
