I was hoping for more than yet another prequel, but it sounds like this is what Miller has going -- a gender-swapped MAD MAX project minus Mad Max. Very likely an "origin movie" if Taylor-Joy is auditioning I'd imagine.
https://variety.com/2020/film/news/holl ... 203543478/Variety reports that the director has already held an audition with Anya Taylor-Joy, who was central to the movies The VVitch, Split, and Emma, and will also appear in the (hopefully) upcoming New Mutants. Other actors have also been auditioned over Skype, but their names have not been made public.
Whether Charlize Theron, who portrayed the instantly iconic Imperator Furiosa in Fury Road, will return for the movie remains unknown as rumours suggest Furiosa may be a prequel. Joy may therefore step into Theron’s shoes – and we could see the beginnings of Furiosa’s tangles with Immortan Joe.
