Starring in the newest installment to a beloved franchise over 45 years in the making can be a bit daunting, which is why Furiosa star Anya Taylor-Joy says she went to her friend andMad Max: Fury Roadstar Nicholas Hoult for some advice.
“These movies are big, colossal beasts, and it’s a type of filmmaking where it’s all stitched together so surgically that you can feel a bit lost in it,” Taylor-Joy tellsTotal Film in our new issueout on Thursday April 25, which features Furiosa on the cover. So, she went to her The Menu co-star for some insight, and his advice was simple: “trust George”, referring to George Miller, the film’s director and creator of the Mad Max franchise.
Furiosa was previously played by Charlize Theron who portrayed the character as an adult, Taylor-Joy will embody the character’s younger years, filling in the gaps about the mysterious warrior.Earlier in the interview, Taylor-Joy highlighted how important it was to show the character’s journey and growth, particularly through long action scenes. “You see an accumulation of skills over the course of a battle,” said the star, “and that’s very important for understanding how resourceful Furiosa is, but also her grit.”
Furiosa is released on May 24. And you can read more about it and a whole lot else besides in the new issue of Total Film when it hits shelves and digital newsstands on Thursday, April 25.
