Warner Bros. Pictures has released the second trailer for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.
The new trailer sees Anya Taylor-Joy play a younger version of Furiosa, who was portrayed by Charlize Theron in Mad Max: Fury Road. The footage sheds further light on Furiosa’s tragic backstory and also offers new footage of Chris Hemsworth’s Warlord Dementus.

What is Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga about?
“As the world fell, young Furiosa is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falls into the hands of a great Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus,” the official synopsis reads. “Sweeping through the Wasteland, they come across the Citadel presided over by The Immortan Joe. While the two Tyrants war for dominance, Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home.”
Along with Taylor-Joy and Hemsworth, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga stars Tom Burke, Alyla Browne, Nathan Jones, Angus Sampson, Quaden Bayles, Daniel Webber, and Lachy Hulme.
The movie is directed by George Miller, who made the original Mad Max trilogy — 1979’s Mad Max, 1981’s Mad Max 2, and 1985’s Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome — before then making 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road. Miller also co-wrote the script for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga with Nico Lathouris. He additionally produces the movie with Doug Mitchell.
“The story is the saga of Furiosa, and how she gets taken from home, and spends the rest of her life trying to get back,” Miller recently told Empire Magazine about the movie. “[In] Fury Road, the story unfolds over three days and two nights. This film follows the story that runs directly into Fury Road, for 15 years. It’s a different animal. It’s got many different locations. It’s an odyssey. No question.”
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga releases in United States theaters on May 24, 2024, from Warner Bros. Pictures.
