Does ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’ have an end credits scene?
Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth star in ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,’ a prequel to ‘Mad Max: Fury Road.’ Does it have an end credits scene that hints at more possibilities?
Usually, the function of an end credits scene is to set up potential future installments in a movie franchise, and the ‘Mad Max’ saga has undoubtedly grown into a wildly crazy film series. It all started with director George Miller’s first ‘Mad Max’ movie in 1979, starring Mel Gibson, who was a relative unknown at the time.
Although there was a 40-year gap between Mel Gibson’s third film, ‘Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome’ (1985), and ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ (2015), starring Tom Hardy as Max, this post-apocalyptic franchise is stronger than ever.
‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,’ released in theaters nationwide on Friday, is a fresh start for the franchise, as the film doesn’t feature Max. Instead, it’s a prequel film that tells the terrifying story of Imperator Furiosa (Taylor-Joy), who plays the younger version of Furiosa played by Charlize Theron in ‘Mad Max: Fury Road.’
Should You Stick Around When the ‘Furiosa’ Credits Begin to Roll?
“Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” covers two phases of Furiosa’s life—as a child (played by Alyla Browne) and as a young adult (portrayed by Anya Taylor-Joy). The film explores how young Furiosa is abducted from her homeland, the Green Place of Many Mothers, by the warlord Dementus’ (played by Chris Hemsworth) menacing biker horde.
As for the credits, “Furiosa” includes a special sequence with Easter eggs for fans of the franchise. This makes it worthwhile to stay in your seat when the credits begin to roll (Gamepressure.com) (SFFGazette.com).
