Chris Hemsworth has been cast in Mad Max: Fury Road prequel Furiosa which will revolve around the character of the same name played by Charlize Theron in Fury Road.

Announcing the project on Instagram, Chris said: “Pretty damn fired up to be a part of a franchise that meant the world to me as a kid growing up in Australia. Mad Max was the pinnacle and a huge reason why I got into the business of telling stories. The fact that I’ll have the honour of not only being directed by its original visionary in George Miller but also take part in Furious origin story is incredibly exciting.”
