George Miller confirms two ‘Mad Max Fury Road’ sequels have been written
Fans went mad for Mad Max: Fury Road back in 2015, arguably one of the best films of that year, and director George Miller is expected to get back to work and deliver another film. Speaking with The Independent, Miller actually confirmed not one, but two more scripts have been written.
Miller talked about how he and co-writer Nico Lathouris have two completed scripts for further Mad Max stories.
“We dug down deep into the subtext, the backstory of all the characters, and indeed the world… and without really thinking about it, we wrote two other screenplays just as part of the bible of the stories,” Miller said.
“Somewhere, if the planets align, there will be two other films.”
Rumors have swirled that one film will center more on Charlize Theron’s Furiosa, possibly more than Max, for one film. Miller confirms interest in bringing back another character: the Doof Warrior (played by Australian musician iOTA), the blind musician with the flamethrower guitar from Fury Road.
“I know who his mother was,” Miller said. “I know how it was that a man who is mute and blind survived the apocalypse. I know his story very well! If we get to make another movie, the Doof Warrior will be there!”‘
The first film is currently titled Mad Max: The Wasteland and star Tom Hardy is committed to return, so expect some news as Miller seems primed and ready for the challenge.
“These characters and these worlds tend to swirl around in the back of your brain like imaginary friends,” he said. “It’s easy to go back to them.”
