It will be set about a year before the opening scene of Fury Road. Since Fury Road was delayed so long it gave George Miller and his crew time to write two back stories for Max and Furiosa. The Wasteland is centred on Max and will be incredibly bleak according to Mark Sexton. Max will have his V8 Interceptor. Furiosa will not make an appearance in this film but Max will make an appearance in the planned Furiosa prequel/sequel movie. As of summer 2019 filming has not started nor has any future date been planned.
