Elokuva Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga on esiosa, ja pääosassa nähdään Mad Max: Fury Roadia nuorempi Furiosa. Ohjaaja George Miller paljasti, miksei Fury Roadin Charlize Theron palannut rooliinsa uudessa elokuvassa.
Syy on varsin selvä. Charlize Theron oli rooliin liian vanha, eikä teknologia näyttelijän nuorentamiseksi ole ainakaan vielä tarpeeksi vakuuttavaa.
Nyt tiedämme tämänkin.
"It definitely would have been Charlize had Furiosa been made before Fury Road. As time went on, I began thinking, 'Oh, maybe we could do de-ageing. Then I watched really masterful filmmakers like Ang Lee and Martin Scorsese, doing Gemini Man and The Irishman, and I saw that it hadn't been licked. All you'd be watching is, 'Look how well the technology works?' It would not have been persuasive. Ultimately, it's an intuitive response. There's an innately resolute quality in [Taylor-Joy]. She's a very determined and rigorous person. She has a mystique about her. And she'd been trained young as a ballet dancer. Charlize trained young as a ballet dancer. There's a precision to them that was needed."
