And whereas it could be a prequel, Miller has no intent of coasting on the virtually 10-year goodwill of that earlier film. “It’s a distinct animal,” he mentioned. “It’s an odyssey. No query.”
15 years is a very long time—Fury Street, for comparability, happened over a few days—and in consequence, Miller teased we’ll be seeing “many alternative areas.” Since that is meant to steer immediately into its predecessor, he was requested if this meant there’d be a cameo from Tom Hardy’s Max at any level within the movie. To that, all he mentioned was the Street Warrior was “lurking within the background. I received’t give away an excessive amount of about that.”
