Warner Bros. Head Wants George Miller To Continue ‘Mad Max’ Franchise

Warner Bros. chief executive of film and television Kevin Tsujihara revealed he wants to do another Mad Max project with George Miller.

George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road is considered one of the greatest action films of all time and holds a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. Mad Max: Fury Road also won six Oscars and received ten nominations, which included Best Picture. However, the film did struggle at the box office, grossing a disappointing $378M worldwide.

Director George Miller has expressed his desire to do another Mad Max film and a possible Furiosa spin-off film. There have also been recent rumors that another Mad Max film could happen. In a recent interview with the LA Times, Warner Bros. head Kevin Tsujihara expressed interest in doing another Mad Max project when he said the following:

“We have incredible franchises on the features side such as “The Matrix.” We’d love to work with George Miller on furthering the “Mad Max” franchise. We feel there’s a big opportunity on the Looney Tunes and Hanna-Barbera side as well. We need to invest and build those franchises up. We think that, despite their age, they still maintain a special place in kids’ hearts.”

Do you think there will be another Mad Max film? Maybe a television series on WarnerMedia’s upcoming streaming service? Sound off in the comments below!

Here is the official synopsis for Mad Max: Fury Road:

Haunted by his turbulent past, Mad Max believes the best way to survive is to wander alone. Nevertheless, he becomes swept up with a group fleeing across the Wasteland in a War Rig driven by an elite Imperator, Furiosa. They are escaping a Citadel tyrannized by the Immortan Joe, from whom something irreplaceable has been taken. Enraged, the Warlord marshals all his gangs and pursues the rebels ruthlessly in the high-octane Road War that follows.

Mad Max: Fury Road was directed by George Miller and stars Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, Zoë Kravitz, Abbey Lee, Riley Keough, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Hugh Keays-Byrne.

Mad Max Fury Road is available on digital, DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K Ultra HD.
