Weit von etwas Handfestem entfernt und noch nicht einmal ansatzweise in der Mache, hat George Miller kürzlich erwähnt, dass er die Geschehnisse unmittelbar vor Fury Road rund um Mad Max inhaltlich festgezurrt hat. Wenn er die Möglichkeit bekommt, würde er auch diese Geschichte gerne realisieren. Ob da überhaupt jemals etwas kommt, sei mal dahingestellt. Mit 79 Jahren ist Miller nun auch nicht mehr der Jüngste.
Speaking of the Mad man himself, Max and his beloved car, the Interceptor, make a humorously appropriate blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo in the film, which Miller says he had no choice but to include. "In doing what we did in the preparation of Mad Max: Fury Road, we also wrote what happened to Max in the year before we encounter him in [that film]," he explains. "And as we get towards the end of this movie, the chronology... Basically, we had to see that Mad Max was lurking around somewhere because we do know what happened. The writers know what happened to Mad Max in that year before, and we have a whole story of that, which I would like to do sometime if I get the chance."
