Almost a decade after Mad Max: Fury Road was released to universal acclaim, and eventually six Oscar wins, director George Miller is bringing his hugely anticipated prequel Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga<\/a> to audiences around the world this weekend.<\/p>\n

As the title suggests, the film will be focusing on the backstory of key Fury Road character Imperator Furiosa \u2013 but rather than Charlize Theron reprising her role, it will be Anya Taylor-Joy leading the cast of the film.<\/p>\n

Speaking about why he wanted to recast the role, Miller recently explained in an interview with Empire:<\/a>\u00a0\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

On the decision to cast Taylor-Joy, he added that the Queen\u2019s Gambit<\/a> star had an \u201cinnately resolute quality\u201d, and that there was \u201ca mystique about her\u201d.<\/p>\n

The film also includes key roles for Chris Hemsworth as the main villain of the piece, and Tom Burke \u2013 who takes on a role initially intended for Aquaman<\/a> star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II \u2013 while there are also a few returning faces from Fury Road.<\/p>\n

With a stream of excellent reviews<\/a> following its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival further ramping up excitement ahead of the release this weekend, read on for all the information you need to know about the Furiosa cast.<\/p>\n
