George Miller, the director of the hit movie Mad Max: Fury Road, is opening up about the upcoming Furiosa spinoff movie. Charlize Theron played the role of Furiosa in the Oscar-winning film, but she will not be returning for the spinoff.

The upcoming movie will focus on a younger Furiosa and auditions have begun to find an actress in her 20s. “For the longest time, I thought we could just use CG de-aging on Charlize, but I don’t think we’re nearly there yet,” Miller said in an interview with The New York Times. “Despite the valiant attempts on The Irishman, I think there’s still an uncanny valley.
