Nearly a decade after Charlize Theron starred in “Mad Max: Fury Road,” the franchise continues with the latest installment from director George Miller, “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.” The new film, which hits theaters Friday, is a prequel to the 2015 “Fury Road” and centers on the character Furiosa, first played by Theron. Now, Anya Taylor-Joy steps into the role to portray the central heroine in an origin story set in Furiosa’s childhood and teenage years. Taylor-Joy raved about Theron in a recent interview with CNN, and said she has been in touch with the Oscar-winning actress, now that they both share a role in Miller’s franchise. “We have emailed a bunch. We met at the Oscars, and she’s just as lovely and gracious and cool as you could imagine,” Taylor-Joy says of Theron. “We are due a very long dinner, just to swap war stories. But I feel so lucky to share a character with her. She’s one of my favorite actors and I just think she’s fabulous.” Taylor-Joy said that before she even read the script for “Furiosa,” she felt connected to the character because she had watched Theron in the 2015 film. “I was lucky enough to fall in love with Furiosa through Charlize’s interpretation in ‘Fury Road.’ I thought that the character was just somebody who had really stuck with me,” Taylor-Joy says.
