Speaking about why he wanted to recast the role for the prequel, George Miller recently explained in an interview with Empire:<\/a> \u201cI began thinking, \u2018Oh, maybe we could do de-aging.\u2019 Then I watched really masterful filmmakers like Ang Lee and Martin Scorsese, doing Gemini Man and The Irishman, and I saw that it hadn\u2019t been licked.<\/p>\n\u201cAll you\u2019d be watching is, \u2018Look how well the technology works?\u2019 It would not have been persuasive.\u201d<\/p>\n
