Who Is Furiosa, and What Can We Expect From The Upcoming Movie?
Well, let’s start with who Furiosa is to understand her character better. Then, we will dive into what the movie is going to be about, as it has the audience excited to know what Furiosa’s life was like before she was kidnapped from her home.
Imperator Furiosa is a fictional character first portrayed by Charlize Theron and Anya Taylor-Joy [the younger version], who works as a war captain under Immortan Joe but turns against him after she decides to free his five wives. Furiosa is a moral and strong-willed leader and warrior who takes the initiative to save the five wives from Immortan Joe while working under him without care for her well-being or a desire for a reward.
Due to her relationship with Max, Furiosa returns to Citadel and ends up killing Immortan Joe, thus providing a haven for the five wives he had and the citizens of Citadel, thus making her one of the most loved characters in the Mad Max saga.
During one of her interviews, Charlize, the actor who played Furiosa, revealed that originally, Furiosa was supposed to be one of the wives of the Imperator but was discarded due to her being infertile because her character was made for one thing.
The trailer begins with the adult version of Anya Taylor Joy’s character Furiosa walking away from her bike, looking out into the wasteland, followed by a voiceover from her mom stating, “No matter what, find your way back home.” Then, we get to see what Furiosa’s home was before she was snatched.
The film will focus on Furiosa’s life before she was kidnapped from the Green Place of Many Mothers, her home by the Bike Horde led by Warlord Dementus, and the battle between the two warlords for dominance over the world.
During the time the two tyrant lords will fight for dominance over the world, Furiosa will be working on a plan to make her way back home while she survives through many trials before she meets Max Rockatansky to become a moral leader with a tough past that shaped her into the woman she is today.
The film chronicles the journey of a young Furiosa into becoming a strong feminist leader after her separation from her family and being thrust into an unfamiliar environment to work under Immortan Joe.
