Director George Miller is already planning the next Mad Max movie

This month, the spin-off of Mad Max: Fury Road, Fury, is about to be released, telling the origin story of the heroine Furiosa a few years before Fury Road. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, director George Miller confirmed that the protagonist Max will also appear briefly in the spin-off movie as an Easter egg, and it may be a foreshadowing for the next chapter of the series.

The director said: "When preparing for Mad Max: Fury Road, we also wrote down what happened a year before we met Max in the movie. When we got close to the end of Fury, basically, we got to see the shadow of Mad Max because we actually know what happened. The writers know what happened to Max in that year, and we have a complete story that I would like to do (make into a movie) if I have the opportunity."

Miller also clarified that this previously unknown Mad Max story has not yet been written into a script, but it is next on his agenda.

He said: "Well, we're certainly working on it. As I mentioned before, we wrote it basically as a novella, and now that we have the opportunity, we're going to put it into screenplay form and will go from there."

The warlord Dementus, played by Chris Hemsworth, the experimenter from the Marvel superhero movie “Thor,” will be the main villain in “Fury,” while Immortal Joe will be played by Lachy Hulme.

Fury: A Mad Max Story will be released in theaters on May 23.
