After a huge box office flop, the Mad Max franchise faces an uncertain future, with legitimate concerns about whether Mad Max: The Wasteland is a movie that should be made. Despite being the follow-up to the massive critical hit of Mad Max: Fury Road, featuring strong lead stars, and simply being a good movie, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga saw shocking losses at the box office. While there have been plans for an additional Mad Max sequel for some time, people are now questioning it.
Mad Max was once produced with a minimal budget and a skeleton crew, but executives felt confident in pouring resources into Furiosa after Fury Road's success. However, even Fury Road wasn't a huge box office success, establishing its legacy through an amazing critical response. When many promising movie franchises have been ended by box office flops, this now seems to be a likely fate for Mad Max.
6 Mad Max Has A Villain Problem What Standard Do Immortan Joe & Dr. Dementus Set For Potential Future Villains? Close In contrast to Immortan Joe , Dr. Dementus is at least implied to have some backstory in Furiosa, rather than being evil simply for personal comfort. Dementus is also very theatrical in execution, coming closer to matching Aunty Entity's dramatics than any other villain in the franchise.
4 Mad Max 5 Will Have To Repeat Past Movies Max Finds A Group In The Wasteland, Doesn't Want To Help Them, & Does Anyway Close It has been argued that Fury Road and Furiosa bring the franchise to its natural conclusion , while another Mad Max movie would more than likely repeat previous installments.
Maybe the franchise will continue, but the next installment won't necessarily be a "Mad Max" movie. His story ends in Fury Road, while Theron and Anya Taylor-Joy give Furiosa everything she needs as a character. However, there are some characters who deserve a Mad Max spinoff after Furiosa and are potentially more promising starts for Miller to continue his work.
