The Mad Max franchise has been put on hold after the prequel, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, bombed at the box office. The studio has halted plans for the sequel, Mad Max: The Wasteland, following poor box office performance.

Mad Max film series and the upcoming 'Furiosa' movie

Australian director George Miller is preparing to premiere the fifth film in the 'Mad Max' series, 'Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,' which is an origin story for the tough female warrior Furiosa. The movie will feature Anya Taylor-Joy as the younger Furiosa and Chris Hemsworth as the villain Dementus. The 'Mad Max' franchise began in 1979 and has evolved with each installment, with 'Fury Road' being a major success in 2015.
