Wait, Mad Max Prequel Is A Theron Movie?

The next movie in the Mad Max series is titled Mad Max: The Wasteland.  The latest news is that the movie will film in Australia, where a HeraldSun premium article says that the movie will film as early as this year in the Broken Hill area, the original plan for Fury Road.

While this Australian newspaper says that Tom Hardy will return as Max, the movie will ‘focus’ on Furiosa, the character played by Charlize Theron.  Indeed this was actually a plan of Warner Brothers at one point, to shoot a movie titled Mad Max: Furiosa.

While I felt that the whole grim-faced-manly-woman thing in Fury Road just about stayed outside the border of feminist bullshit (Max bailed them out quite a bit), I don’t know if I can get on board for Mad Maxine, featuring an extended cameo with Mad Max… if that’s what this turns out to be.

Right now, a prequel focusing on Charlize Theron… Warner Bros, don’t do anything stupid;
