‘Furiosa’ ending explained: how does it connect to ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’?
Anya Taylor-Joy leads the fifth instalment in the Mad Max franchise, Furiosa.Directed by George Miller, Furiosa serves as a prequel to 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road and charts the origins of the character, who was originally played by Charlize Theron.Other cast members in the prequel include Chris Hemsworth, Alyla Browne, Tom Burke, Lachy Hulme, Nathan Jones, and Josh Helman.Along with directing Furiosa, Miller has co-written the story with his former Fury Road collaborator Nico Lathouris.After tracking down Dementus (Chris Hemsworth) following the 40-day wasteland war, Furiosa (Anya Taylor-Joy) confronts him and tries to make him remember who she is.When he eventually does remember that she is the girl he kidnapped years prior, Dementus is impressed and tells her he’s been waiting for someone worthy of him. “Do this right, and you become me,” he remarks while on his knees, before adding: “The question is, do you have it in you to make it epic?”Through a narrator, we discover Furiosa doesn’t actually kill Dementus straight away, as described in various rumours and fables.
