Mad Max: Fury Road director George Miller is giving everybody hope that we won't have to wait 30 years for a sequel like last time.
Talk about the next Mad Max movie — purportedly called The Wasteland — has been relatively quiet over the last few months, but that doesn't mean work has stopped.
Quite the contrary, actually. In a new interview with The Independent, George Miller revealed that he worked on the scripts for two more Mad Max movies with co-writer Nico Lathouris while finishing up Fury Road.
"We dug down deep into the subtext, the backstory of all the characters, and indeed the world… and without really thinking about it, we wrote two other screenplays just as part of the bible of the stories," the filmmaker explained.
"Somewhere, if the planets align, there will be two other films."
Just as encouraging was Tom Hardy's confirmation earlier this year that he's contracted to make two Mad Max: Fury Road sequels, so those stars seem to be aligning.
Miller also has big plans for another memorable Fury Road character – the guitar-wailing War Boy known as the Doof Warrior. We're sure you remember him, but enjoy this if not:
"I know who his mother was. I know how it was that a man who is mute and blind survived the apocalypse. I know his story very well," Miller said of the character. "If we get to make another movie, the Doof Warrior will be there!"
