The Mad Max theory establishes a connection between Furiosa’s daughter and Capable from Fury Road
In the daring world of Mad Max, every detail is a mystery, every character is an enigma. The latest installment of this saga immerses Furiosa in this post-apocalyptic universe with a burning question: Who is that little red-haired girl in the movie?
The relationship between the two films
The answer may lie in a fascinating theory that connects this girl from Fury Road: Capable, a key character played by Riley Q. This concept is not far-fetched. The girl and Capable share that distinctive red hair, and the fact that Furiosa’s timeline is set 15 years before Fury Road makes this connection plausible.
Saga director George Miller is known for his attention to detail. In Fury Road, Furiosa, played by Charlize Theron, rebels against Immortal Joe to free his concubines, known as the Five Wives. Among them, Capable stands out not only for her hair, but also for her stability and strength.
In Furiosa, the main character, played by Anya Taylor-Joy, is torn from her home green space, and finds herself embroiled in a war between tyrants. A key scene from the trailer shows the red-haired girl being held captive, possibly connecting her to the Fury Road universe.
The effect on Furiosa
If the girl in the trailer is empowered, this could provide new insight into Furiosa’s hatred of Immortal Joe. Imagining this character, once rescued by Furiosa, then falling at the hands of Joe, adds tragedy and complexity to Furiosa’s character.
Miller’s ability to weave stories and characters together is legendary. Incorporating the futuristic Fury Road character into Furiosa enriches the narrative, emphasizing the themes of freedom and autonomy in Mad Max.
As we approach Furiosa’s release on May 24, 2024, these theories and connections invite us to delve into the dark and fantastical world of Mad Max. Will this little redhead be the key to understanding Furiosa and her crusade against the oppressors of the wasteland?
Exploring Furiosa’s role in the saga
Taylor-Joy, as Furiosa, faces a Herculean task. It should not only capture an already iconic character, but also bring a new dimension to the saga. Her performance promises to reveal the hidden layers of Furiosa, showing her transition from a rebellious young woman to the gentle and determined leader we meet on Fury Road. This exploration of her past provides a unique opportunity to explore the motivations and traumas that led her to confront the tyrants of the páramo.
If the relationship between Furiosa and Capable is confirmed, it adds a powerful emotional layer to the narrative. A young woman who can see Furiosa being rescued, only to witness her capture by Immortal Joe, provides a sad look at the cycle of violence and oppression in the post-apocalyptic universe. This relationship between the characters could be a crucial factor in Furiosa’s evolution, bringing more depth to her already complex story.

The inclusion of Chris Hemsworth as Warlord Dementus introduces a new antagonist to the Mad Max universe, expanding the already rich cast of characters and power dynamics. The leader of a biker gang, the Dementos, brings a new and dangerous threat. Her relationship with Furiosa, and potentially, hints at Furiosa’s early struggles with tyranny. This interaction is key to understanding how Furiosa becomes the warrior we know and how oppressors like Dementus and Joe shape her worldview and desire for freedom.
The Mad Max saga has always been a rich tapestry of intertwined characters and plots. Furiosa promises to continue this tradition, and guessing about the identity of the red-haired girl raises our curiosity. Will she be the missing red haired girl in Furiosa’s story? Only time and George Miller can reveal this mystery.
