After the enormously positive critical and commercial reaction to “Mad Max Fury Road”, Warner Bros will be determined to get another “Mad Max” out of George Miller… and as soon as possible. But according to the filmmaker, who struggled for over a decade to get the most recent film done, he’s not yet discussing a fifth chapter in the series.
Speaking to Empire at Cannes, Miller said he’s not ready to think about Max’s next jaunt yet.
“Being asked that questions feels to me like being a woman who’s just given birth to a really big baby. And then someone asks you, ‘When are you having your next baby?’ We only finished 12 days ago. I’m just not recovered enough to get into it… If we get the appetite again to go back out into the wasteland, there’s other films we want to do. That’s the answer I can give this moment, now: I’ve just come out of labour.”
Initially, Miller planned to do a second “Mad Max” film immediately after “Fury Road” but “Furiosa” – which would’ve told the backstory of Charlize Theron’s character- would’ve been an animated film. Might Miller decide to live-action that one as the next instalment in the franchise?
