George Miller hints a Mad Max prequel focusing on Max before Fury Road could happen. 'We also wrote... what happened to Max in that year before, and that’s something that we’ll look at further down the track later.'

Mad Max Fury Road director George Miller hints there are several more Mad Max stories as yet untold, including a prequel to Fury Road with Max as the focus. Co-created by writer/ director Miller and producer Byron Kennedy, the original Mad Max , starring Mel Gibson as the titular hero, became a cult classic thanks to its superb stunt work and dystopian lived in world. Miller and Gibson furthered Max's exploits with Mad Max 2/ The Road Warrior and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome .

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Miller is currently in production on Furiosa, a prequel starring Anya Taylor-Joy as the younger version of Theron's character. The screenplay for Furiosa was written before filming had begun on Fury Road, as were larger stories for many of that films' distinct characters, including it seems, what happened to Max in the year leading up to the events depicted in Fury Road.

We also wrote, not a screenplay, but almost in novel form, Nico Lathouris and I, what happened to Max in that year before, and that’s something that we’ll look at further down the track later. But in telling each other the story of Furiosa, everything in Fury Road had to be explained. In my mind, I have a backstory of the Doof Warrior, who plays the guitar.

The hint that Max could be returning in his own prequel and that audiences would be given the opportunity to learn what exactly led him to the state of collapse seen at the beginning of Fury Road, could potentially be the most compelling story of the Mad Max saga yet. If the film goes ahead, many will wonder about its place in the timeline. A potentially bigger question could be whether Hardy returns to the role of Max.

There is also the matter of the announced sequel to Fury Road , which remains in the development stage as Miller works on piecing together the story. It is likely that film, essentially Mad Max 5, will see the light of day before any proposed prequel featuring Max is put into production as at this stage there is a story but essentially no script.
