As we’ve seen in the trailers for “Furiosa,” Hesmworth is hardly recognizable as the villain (save for the superhero-like muscles), with everything from prosthetics to an off-kilter voice disguising the actor audiences are familiar with. All of it, the hair, makeup, costumes, and prosthetics, helped flesh out the character. Speaking about the nose specifically, Hemsworth said Miller wanted the character “to be this historic-looking Roman figure.”
Hemsworth has had a monster career, starring in one of Netflix’s biggest movies, “Extraction,” while also taking on projects like “Rush” from filmmakers like Ron Howard when he has the time. However, after playing the God of Thunder in “Thor: Love and Thunder,” a movie the actor says he became a “parody of himself” in, doing something scary seemed like the right move:
“I’ve heard people talk about how you want to choose the roles that scare you. And, yeah, it’s sort of an actor-y thing to say. But I think it was a good thing. I think it forces you to dig that bit deeper. And the challenges, the adversity — that’s where the growth occurs. I feel like I learned more on this film than anything I’d ever done because of what was asked of all of us and how challenging it was, in a wonderful way.”
“Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” hits theaters on May 24, 2024. You can read the film’s official synopsis below:
As the world fell, young Furiosa is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falls into the hands of a great Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus. Sweeping through the Wasteland they come across the Citadel presided over by The Immortan Joe. While the two Tyrants war for dominance, Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home.
