Mad Max: Fury Road is already five years old. Can you believe it?! This beloved action film is already in PRESCHOOL! Wow, ya love to see it!
And while the six-time Oscar award-winning film is still living on in the hearts of fans everywhere, word of a second film has been swirling around Hollywood for a while now.
However, it seems that the iconic actress that MADE THE FILM WHAT IT WAS, Charlize Theron, will not be a part of the sequel.
So when the news came out earlier this year that Charlize would not be playing Furiosa in the upcoming Mad Max film, fans were PISSED!
So when director George Miller announced that Charlize will not return in the new Mad Max film because he wants it to be a prequel featuring a ~ younger ~ Furiosa, it didn't make sense!!!
In response to the news that she wouldn't be returning to the franchise, Charlize told The Hollywood Reporter that the info was devastating to hear.
"Listen, I fully respect George, if not more so in the aftermath of making Fury Road with him. He’s a master, and I wish him nothing but the best."
"She will forever be someone I think of and reflect on fondly," she continued.
"We get so hung up on the smaller details that we forget the thing that we emotionally tap into has nothing to do with that minute thing that we’re focusing on."
She loves posting throwbacks from the set, like this awesome video of Charlize seeing her war rig for the first time!
"this is such [expletive] they're replacing charlize in the prequel for a younger actress but tom hardy gets to keep on being max????? [expletive] charlize IS furiosa no one gives a damn if she doesn't look 20 we dont exactly expect realism in a film about apocalyptic speed racer," tweeted one angry fan.
"It’s a tough role to recast. Theron is an incredibly talented actor who can act while matching action chips with any action star. Hope they can find someone who can do it as well as her," chimed in another fan.
Her latest action flick, The Old Guard, is coming to Netflix on July 10th!
TALK ABOUT AN ALL-STAR CAST!
She truly brought that girl power ICON to life and kept viewers entertained the whole time.
It's hard to imagine another Mad Max movie without her!
