The film from visionary director George Miller offers up a prequel and origin story for Imperator Furiosa.
Well, thats where things get a little more complicated.
But thats where we come in.
When does Furiosa take place on the Mad Max Timeline?
He sets out on a mission of revenge from there after his wife and child are brutally murdered.
The next two movies in the original trilogy take place from the late 80s up until 2005.
Then comes Furiosa, which is a prequel to Fury Road.
In short, that doesnt really help matters… From here a war erupted, which set oil fields ablaze and halted exports.
This is what Max works for before he goes rogue.
1984:The events of the first Mad Max take place around this time.
A place where those brutal enough to fight for resources would start a new life.
Around 1987/1988:The sequel, Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior takes place around this time.
Its established that it begins around three years after the previous movie.
People have fled into the Outback as society is now in complete decay and resources become more sparse.
1988-2003:At some point during this time, there has been a nuclear war.
The warring governments still clinging onto power spark the conflict and a nuclear winter follows.
The world is now radioactive and society no longer exists.
The only remaining civilizations live in new towns, like Bartertown, where the third movie is set.
All of the previous events of the other movies have still happened, but later on.
Around 2034:Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga begins.
Furiosa is around 10 at this moment,as confirmed by Miller to us.
We meet her living in The Green Place, where she is stolen by Dementus men.
Shes taken in by him as he establishes himself with Immortan Joe as a rival Warlord.
Around 2045:We then meet Furiosa, aged up and played by Anya Taylor-Joy.
We see her become established as a part of Praetorian Jacks crew.
We also see Dementus looking a fair amount older at this time.
This ends when Furiosa kills Dementus as revenge for murdering her mother and Praetorian Joe.
Beyond 2050:This is the part of the Mad Max timeline that we really have no idea about.
However, Miller has spoken about how he often thinks about what happens to Furiosa after Fury Road.
Watch this space…
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is in theaters now.
