While it doesn’t really feel like its been that long ago, the film “Mad Max: Fury Road” was released back in 2015, so about eight and a half years ago if my mathematics are correct. It was a solid action-adventure film and while I expected sequels more than a prequel, the latter is what we have coming in “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga”. Take a look at the first full on Official Trailer down below. I’ve also secured some premise, casting and art for you. Enjoy.
The Premise: Set 15 to 20 years before the events of Mad Max: Fury Road, as the world falls apart, young Furiosa is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and into the hands of a Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus. While two Tyrants war for dominance over the Citadel, Furiosa survives many trials as she plots a way back home through the Wasteland. (c/o Wiki)

PiercingMetal Thoughts: This looks pretty good and I neglected to mention that I did like the “Mad Max: Fury Road” film when I saw it way back when. I thought the character of Furiosa was an interesting one, and at the time played by Charlize Theron whose work I’ve enjoyed over many years. This time around we have Anya Taylor-Joy in the role, and the last thing I saw her in was the terrible “New Mutants” film where she was Colossus’sister Magik (although she wasn’t called that in the film). From the looks of it, this film is not going to be coming out for quite some time but when it does I will very likely see it since this kind of stuff is right up my alley. I’ll wrap up now and ask what you folks out there in the readership think about it. Chime in down below in the comments and I will see you next time. Buckle up…
