Rumor: Hai Zong will play the number one villain in "Mad Max: Furiosa"

In his new book "Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wild and True Story of Mad Max: Fury Road", Kyle Buchanan, a reporter from the New York Times, revealed that the famous Hollywood actor Chris Hemsworth will play the number one villain in the "Mad Max 4" spin-off film "Mad Max: Furiosa".

Mad Max: Fury Road assistant director PJ Voeten said that IP creator George Miller "took a fancy" to Hemsworth, and that the number one villain he will play will be opposite the young Furiosa played by Anya Taylor-Joy.

"Mad Max: Furiosa" is the predecessor of "Mad Max: Fury Road" released in 2015. The film was originally scheduled to be released in 2023, but was later expected to be released in 2024 for unknown reasons. The film will explore the story behind Furiosa, a ruthless character who betrayed Immortan Joe and released his five wives.
