Furiosa, a prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road, has a new trailer out now–and it’s absolutely epic. Not only that, but tickets to the George Miller-directed movie are on sale now.
Furiosa stars Anya Taylor-Joy as the title character, Furiosa, who was played by Oscar-winner Charlize Theron in Fury Road. Chris Hemsworth plays the main antagonist, Dementus. Furiosa is a standalone Mad Max movie that digs into the origins of Furiosa, and as this newest trailer shows, there is a lot to know about who Furiosa is and where she came from.
“As the world fell, young Furiosa is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falls into the hands of a great Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus,” reads a line from the movie’s description. “Sweeping through the Wasteland, they come across the Citadel presided over by The Immortan Joe. While the two Tyrants war for dominance, Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home.”
Alyla Browne and Tom Burke also star in Furiosa. Miller also co-wrote the script with Fury Road’s Nico Lathouris. Behind the camera, Furiosa brings back a number of people in the costume department who won Oscars for Fury Road.
Furiosa releases in theaters on May 24, just in time for the Memorial Day long weekend in the US. International markets get the movie first, however, starting on May 22.
The film had its debut in Sydney, Australia on May 2. It is the biggest movie ever filmed in Australia, and it received tax breaks for shooting down under.
