“He understood the character straight away,” was what director George Miller said as he watched Chris Hemsworth read the screenplay for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.

Hemsworth has such an understanding of the character that director Miller thought was ideal for the role. “He understood his character such that I began to rely on him whenever he would say, ‘I think Dementus would do this…’ And suddenly, it became more than serving his performance or the characters, but serving the deeper narrative of the story.”
