Mad Max: Fury Road director George Miller is currently working on a prequel starring Anya Taylor-Joy as a younger take on Furiosa, but is there any chance Charlize Theron might be convinced to reprise the role for a follow-up down the line?
It's no secret that Theron and co-star Tom Hardy didn't exactly see eye-to-eye while filming Miller's action masterpiece, and the Academy award-winning actress' gruelling experiences in other areas of the production are well documented.
Even so, it sounds like she wouldn't rule out a return to the Wasteland!
While speaking to THR, Theron was asked about her three-picture deal and the prospect of getting another opportunity to collaborate with Miller on a sequel.
"Maybe. Listen, I’m not mad about [Miller doing a prequel instead of a sequel]. One of the greatest [frick]ing actresses [Anya Taylor-Joy] is picking up something that I only imagined."
"I never really truly appreciated or respected George Miller’s vision until I saw [the completed film and] went, 'Oh my God, this is what was in his head the whole time and I couldn’t hear it,'" she continued. "And so it’s the one movie where I go, “If I had another opportunity, I’d get a little bit more of what he tried to do in the first one.”
Miller has previously spoken about the possibility of a Fury Road sequel, but whether it'll ever actually come to fruition - and Theron would be interested in returning - is still very much up in the air.
