In March 2020, it was announced that a spin-off film centered around Furiosa was in development with auditions via Skype, including Anya Taylor-Joy. Miller and McCarthy found during the writing process for Mad Max: Fury Road that they had enough story material for two additional scripts. In July 2019, a question regarding unpaid earnings had to be resolved before moving forward with production which was resolved. By January 2016, and after misleading reports which stated that the franchise was over, Miller re-affirmed that he is working on follow up movies. After the release of Fury Road, Miller announced that a sequel is in development, with the working title of Mad Max: The Wasteland. In March 2015, Hardy revealed that he was attached to star in three more Mad Max films, following Fury Road. Gibson was originally attached to star in Fury Road during its failed 2003 production attempt. It features British actor Tom Hardy as Mad Max and Charlize Theron as Imperator Furiosa. Shooting ultimately took place in Namibia the following year. While location scouting was reported to be underway in May 2009, production was delayed until June 2012 due to unusually high levels of rain in the Australian desert which detracted from the post-apocalyptic feeling that Miller wanted.
