While not at the Met Gala, Anya Taylor-Joy is radiantly making her presence felt on the promotional circuit for "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga." Recently spotted at Cannes, she donned short-shorts paired with an open cardigan secured by just one button at the neck, effortlessly blending chic and casual.
The Cannes appearance is more than just about style. Anya has been on quite the fashion spree, showcasing various outfits throughout the festival. One highlight included her wearing a stunning transparent white gown complemented by a stylish straw hat tied around her neck with a velvet ribbon—serving both as chic choker and headgear!
During her promotional efforts, Anya spoke candidly to the New York Times about the challenges she faced preparing for her role as Furiosa. Reflecting on her experience, she stated, “I wanted to be changed. I wanted to be put in a situation in extremis where I would have no choice but to grow. And I got it.” Anya's commitment to her craft is evident, as she shared, “I will never regret this experience, on so many different levels, but it’s a very peculiar story to have.” She emphasizes the unique camaraderie shared among those involved with the "Mad Max" series, adding, “There’s not everyone in the world who has made a ‘Mad Max’ movie, and I swear to God, everyone I’ve met who has, there’s a look in our eyes: We know.”
The upcoming film is generating significant buzz within the industry, especially with its producers being Disney. Citing a report from Decider, word is already spreading about its streaming prospects, with fewer chances of it landing on Netflix due to its Disney affiliation. Insiders suggest viewers might find "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" streaming on Disney Plus Hotstar, confirming the excitement surrounding its release.
"Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga," helmed by director Barry Jenkins and boasting a hefty budget of $200 million, is set to hit theaters on December 20. Following its premiere on December 9, the film received positive reviews from audiences, highlighting its high production quality and stunning visuals.
Adding to the anticipation, various voice talents are involved, including Aaron Pierre as Mufasa and Kelvin Harrison Jr. as Taka. Shreyas Talpade, the actor phrasing Timon for the Hindi version, remarked, “The last time, the Hindi version performed incredibly well. This time, it’s a prequel, not a remake of the animated classic, so it’s something fresh. We want people to watch the Hindi version and connect with it the way they did before.”
With overwhelming anticipation and positive early reviews, the heartwarming story of "Furiosa" and its connection to the beloved "Mad Max" franchise stands to captivate audiences far and wide.
