Summary
If theMad Maxfranchise manages to continue afterFuriosa : A unhinged Max Saga , I know on the nose what prequel George Miller should make next . Nine years afterMad Max : Fury Roadproved there were still tale deserving telling within The Wasteland , Furiosabecame the latest chapter in the universe ’s expansion . By telling the stock of Charlize Theron ’s character with Anya Taylor - Joy taking over the role , the prequel did an amazing job of bring out new locations , theatrical role , and pieces ofMad Maxlorethat could all factor into future installments of the enfranchisement .
It is unclear whethermoreMad Maxmovieswill be made afterFuriosa : A Mad Max Saga ’s box office underperformed . The cost of finance George Miller ’s extravagant productions in this franchise are not tinny , even if audiences and critics were generally very fond of what he delivered . I ’m still go for thatFuriosais not the end of theMad Maxfranchise and that Miller will find ways to make more movies , whether they be sequels or more prequels . But after watchingFuriosa , there ’s oneMad Maxprequel movie I want to see more than the quietus .
Furiosa ’s box office failure means there probably wo n’t be any more Mad Max films – and that ’s a tragedy , because they ’re a staple of action movie theatre .

Praetorian Jack Deserves A Prequel Movie Next After Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
Tom Burke Played The Driver In Furiosa
Now that George Miller has gone back in theMad Maxtimelineto do a prequel about Furiosa , he needs to do Praetorian Jack next . Furisoa : A huffy Max Sagaintroduced Tom Burke ’s Praetorian Jack as Immortan Joe ’s most trusted gadget driver through the Wasteland . After befriending Furiosa and teaching her the ropes of driving through the post - apocalyptic Australian landscape painting , the seemingly romantic feelings that develop between them make himone of the best persona of the motion picture . That ’s why I was so heartbroken whenPraetorian Jack died inFuriosain such an equivocal direction .
It is thanks to this news report and Burke ’s performance thatI could n’t help but palpate like there was more to explore with praetorial Jackafterward . He was a significant piece of music of the mystifier , brought a enceinte sieve presence , and was a terrific better half for Furiosa on the open road . But sinceFuriosastill very much positions her and Dementus as the principal role , there is not a long ton of room to fully develop and research Praetorian Jack ’s story .
A Praetorian Jack prequel could be set up nigh to Mel Gibson ’s original Mad Max movies

That is why a Praetorian JackMad Maxprequel movie could be so gravid . Miller could be tempt to do prequels about Immortan Joe or Dementusand dive further into the villainousness of The Wasteland , but they have both had strong exhibit before . I would be so excited to learn more about Praetorian Jack ’s past and see his experiences in this universe before the events ofFuriosa . It would also potentially help Miller further bridge over the gap between the original Mel Gibson movies and his more modern action films .
What A Praetorian Jack Mad Max Prequel Could Explore
His Backstory Has Been teased
Furiosais rather light on details regarding Praetorian Jack ’s backstory , leaving mint of elbow room for a prequel about his life to reveal more . All that is really known is thatJack knew Immortan Joe before The Falland comes from a military ground . These details supply a service line for what a Praetorian Jack prequel could focalize on . The movie could be Miller ’s chance to go back to the sentence of the Revelation of Saint John the Divine and nightfall of humanity and tell that narration through Jack ’s eyes . He ’d then be the vas for watching Immortan Joe ’s rise to power and how the world interchange .
If George Miller does n’t want to go back to Praetorian Jack ’s origin for a prequel movie , he could still research his life beforeFuriosa : A Mad Max Saga . Burke ’s characterspent these years work for Immortan Joe and driving across The Wasteland . He surely happen plenty of problem throughout his drives , peculiarly to become the legendary figure he is when Furiosa meets him . A prequel movie could show us precisely why pretorian Jack was such a key part of Immortan Joe ’s empire . I could even see him play a part inAunty Entity ’s defeat and Bartertown ’s destruction .
Praetorian Jack Can Help The Franchise Finally Replace Mad Max
There Are Major Parallels
It could also be in theMad Maxfranchise ’s well interest to research Praetorian Jack more as a means to replace Max Rockatansky . Furiosaestablished clearparallels between Praetorian Jack and Mad Maxranging from their clothing , attitudes , and backstories . For a second , I guess that Jack could be lined up as a new quality whose story could continuebeyondFuriosaand tolerate the enfranchisement to refocus itself around him and Furiosa afterMad Max : Fury Road . That ’s inconceivable now that Burke ’s character pop off , but the prequel background ply an substitute solution .
Praetorian Jack could have countless adventures on the route before the events ofFuriosathat the enfranchisement can explore . None of these would have to include Mad Max either . With Furiosa ’s story already connected to the franchise ’s original lead , a Praetorian Jack prequel could be a mostly neat interruption . But sinceJack and Max are alike in many ways , focusing on the new character would still let the franchise to follow a protagonist who often resembles Mad Max . This could help the series retain key elements and characteristic without needing to admit aMad Max cameo likeFuriosa ’s .
interchange Mad Max is not something that everyMad Maxfan will want , but Praetorian Jack could do as ripe of a line of work at it as anyone else . George Miller still has an involvement in tackle more of Max ’s story through prequels or sequels , but an line could be made that those movies would scramble to blow up his story in a meaningful agency now . Since piffling is known about Praetorian Jack , it would be more exciting to see Miller flesh out a comparatively blank sail in him than trust on returning to Max ’s life time and time again .

A Praetorian Jack Prequel Is Better Than Furiosa Or Mad Max’s Returns
There’s More To Explore With Jack
It might be rummy to consider ca-ca aMad Maxmovie that does n’t let in Max Rockatansky or Furiosa , but Pretorian Jack is well suit to be the franchise ’s star at this item . We ’ve already check four movies with Max in a major function , and the case ’s journey is at a salutary stopping spot afterMad Max : Fury Road ’s finish . It would be a mistake for the dealership to have Max returnfor prequels focused on him , even though Miller had a script evolve . With his unsettled future from a mould perspective , it ’s better if Max go to the side .
Furiosa ’s counter is also now a bit more challengingafterFuriosa : A Mad Max Saga . The only place to go next would be continue her story afterFury route , but that would have in mind bringing Charlize Theron back after about a decade or having Anya Taylor - Joy carry the role onward , which could feel strange . moreover , the performance ofFuriosaat the box part could leave Hollywood with cold infantry about fix more moving-picture show with her at the centre . I ’ll admit that sentiment could extend across the entireMad Maxfranchise at this point , but it ’s not officially stagnant yet .
George Miller could make a motion-picture show built around Jack ’s dangerous undertaking in the vein ofMad Max : Fury Road

In some ways , a Praetorian Jack prequel carry the same risk asFuriosa : A Mad Max Saga . It ’d be a prequel about a great new grapheme from the previous installment that could demand to recast the office by the time filming would begin . But I still think that a pretorial Jack prequel flick is the full choice forMad Maxto preserve forwards . There would be smaller expectations and few story restriction here . George Miller could make a movie built around Jack ’s dangerous undertaking in the vein ofMad Max : Fury Roadthat ’s exactly what the enfranchisement pauperization .
