Development[edit]
During the writing process for Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) in 2011, George Miller and Brendan McCarthy found that they had enough story material for two additional scripts.[1] In March 2015, during an interview with Esquire, Tom Hardy revealed that he was attached to star in three more Mad Max films following Fury Road.[2] Miller told Wired in May 2015 that if the film becomes successful, he will tell the other two stories.[3] Later that month, Miller revealed that plans for the sequel had changed and the fifth film in the franchise will instead be titled Mad Max: The Wasteland.[4][5] That October 2015, Miller's team had scripts for two sequels.[6]
Later that month, Miller clarified that Mad Max: The Wasteland was a working title for the sequel.[7] Miller reaffirmed his intent to continue the franchise after reports to the contrary surfaced.[8] In November 2017, it was reported that a lawsuit filed by Miller's production company against Warner Bros. over a disputed $7 million bonus was likely to delay the production of any sequels.[9] In July 2019, Miller told IndieWire that the two films will both involve separately: a Mad Max story and a Furiosa story, in which their possibility is clear.[10]
Filming[edit]
Principal photography was scheduled to begin on 2 June 2020.[11]
