Anya Taylor-Joy looks unrecognizable in the post-apocalyptic world of George Miller’s ‘Furiosa.’ The Argentinian actress can be seen cutting off her hair in a new trailer for the highly anticipated film, where she worked closely with Chris Hemsworth and Tom Burke.
The Hollywood star wears a robotic arm prosthetic, portraying the warrior princess, known as Imperator Furiosa, who was previously played by Charlize Theron in 2015. This is set to be the prequel to ‘Mad Max: Fury Road,’ also starring Tom Hardy.

“Any time I get to be dirty or bloody and not perfectly prim and pretty, I’m just having a ball, that’s where I feel most comfortable. So yeah, ‘Furiosa’ was definitely right up my street,” she admitted. The cast finished filming in 2022, and Anya described it as ”life-changing“ at the time.”
“I just finished it, so it’s a bit: wow. Life-changing. Longest shoot I’ve ever done, for sure, but with the most unbelievable crew, and I mean, what a character. I had her. We had each other,” she said to Entertainment Weekly at the time.
