Yes, thatisChris Hemsworth terrorizing Anya Taylor-Joy’s Furiosa and the wider Wasteland in thenew Furiosa trailer. He certainly looks the part and, in a new interview, the Thor actor has also given us a taste of what else to expect from Dementus in the prequel toMad Max: Fury Road.
Speaking at CCXP – and recorded by Collider’s Steven Weintraub – Hemsworth described his villain as a “complicated individual.”
“He’s [a] violent, insane, brutal person that is born from the wasteland. He’s a product of his environment. There’s an intensity to him… he has been birthed into a space where it’s kill or be killed and he has learned to rule with an iron fist. There’s a charisma to him and it’s a very manipulative charisma.”
If Hemsworth, who has recently starred in the likes ofThor: Love and ThunderandExtraction 2, sounds invigorated by the role in that video, it’s because he is.
The Australian actor recently toldBritish GQthat working on Furiosa was “by far the best experience of my career, and something I feel the most proud of.”
He continued, “It made me think, the work isn’t what’s exhausting, it’s what kind of work it is, and how invested I am in it and if it is challenging in the right ways.”
