It only took a day for Anya Taylor-Joy to break her silence about nabbing the coveted role of Furiosa in George Miller’s “Mad Max: Fury Road” prequel, and the actress is predictably stunned she’ll get the chance to put her mark on one of the most iconic action heroes of the 21st Century. Taylor-Joy is set to lead the Furiosa movie opposite Chris Hemsworth and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. In an interview on MTV’s “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, the actress discussed what it was like landing the role while filming Robert Eggers’ “The Northman” in Ireland.
“I am currently in Belfast shooting a movie and I was here when I saw ‘Fury Road’ for the first time,” Taylor-Joy said. “I walked passed the cinema where I first was amazed by this incredible mind of George Miller. It’s difficult to put into words. I feel so humbled and grateful.
