If Variety is correct, this is the first we've heard of anything more than a general interest from Miller. Back in 2017, the director said another movie in the Mad Max universe could explore more of the character of Furiosa.
"She's a pretty compelling character so it'd be great to tell her story," Miller said. "Her backstory is pretty interesting, we only allude to it in this movie (Mad Max: Fury Road). This movie is on the run, people don't have much time for recreational talk. You have a sense of her having gone through stuff, that's what the movie is trying to do. You know, you're trying to put a lot of iceberg under the tip, I like saying."A Furiosa spin-off movie could explore the rest of that iceberg and Taylor-Joy might be along for the ride. Who the actor would play, though, is unknown. If she gets the role, perhaps we'd see that character in the sequel to Fury Road. We do know, however, that we won't be seeing Furiosa in that sequel.
