Anya Taylor-Joy recently discussed her intense and solitary experience filming the "Mad Max" spinoff, "Furiosa," directed by George Miller. In a conversation with the New York Times, Taylor-Joy revealed that the role left her emotionally drained, requiring about two years to fully process the experience after filming concluded in November 2022. She portrayed a younger version of Charlize Theron’s character, Furiosa, alongside Chris Hemsworth, who played the lead villain, Dementus.
During the production, Taylor-Joy had limited dialogue, speaking only 30 lines throughout the movie's duration of two hours and twenty-eight minutes. George Miller, in a discussion with The Telegraph, explained that minimal dialogue helps maintain the film’s fast pace. Taylor-Joy also mentioned the restrictive portrayal demanded by Miller, where she could only use her eyes for much of her performance, which challenged her artistic expression.
"Furiosa" is set to be released in cinemas on May 24, following its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on May 15.
