What happens after you come through ?
That ’s the question George Miller was asked during a late interview at this twelvemonth ’s digital New York Comic - Con event , particularly in attentiveness toFuriosa , the most interesting character to amount out of Mad Max : Fury Road and the subject of anupcoming prequel movie . Since we are buzz off a flavour into Furiosa ’s past presently enough , her future is , well , an challenging open question . Her story , from a cinematic point of view , is jolly much over : she won . What happens after ?
“ There ’s two way to go . One is utopian : I imagined the first thing she ’d do in argumentation with that is go up and release the water supply , ” Miller tell , as transcribed byCollider . “Campbell articulate that the common story is that today ’s poor boy becomes tomorrow ’s tyrant . The torpedo is the agent of change . They basically relinguish self - pursuit in decree for some uncouth good . [ Campbell ] essentially enunciate … you eff what you ’ve built , or saved , too much . You become holdfast . You become the orthodoxy . You build up the tenet and basically then you have to protect it . That tends to be the calendar method of birth control of these thing . ”

Whether or not you agree with Joseph Campbell , there ’s some truth to that idea : that triumph is often not the most flattering thing that can bechance to you , and that moment of heroic triumph might cease up being a peak , and not of necessity the beginning of a lifetime of excellency . Sometimes , to end a story when you do is a merciful act . Keeping our eyes on hero after their metre might mean see them decline , go sour , or turn into villains themselves .

But would that really happen to Furiosa ? Would she become her own villain ?
“ I think she ’s too smart to fall into that lying in wait , ” Miller ultimately concludes . “ She ’s already see it with Immortan Joe . I believe he endure through the same process . He was probably a heroical character in his own clip . ”
Immortan Joe as a hero is one prequel I , uh , do not want to see . The Furiosa movie is presently inthe conversation microscope stage , and will hopefully become a reality in a future earlier rather than later .
