Furiosa’s newest trailer revealed new and old faces along with its familiar deserted wastelands, but it also looks like the upcoming post-apocalypse action adventure film will bring back another common theme from Mad Max: Fury Road. While the details about the movie are being tightly kept under wraps, Furiosa will be a prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road, and will tell the origins of Imperator Furiosa as well as her intense battle against the new ruler Dementus and reveal new information about her relationship with Immortan Joe. While the characters and locations seen in the trailer are mostly familiar, it begs the question if Furiosa will expand on themes previously seen.

One of Mad Max’s most prominent themes is that of survival and what can become of people when they’re stripped of everything that once connected them to their humanity. The films in the Mad Max series accomplish its representations of these themes through its use of desolated locations, unscrupulous villains and morally gray protagonists, and intense action sequences that often leave a lot of carnage in their wake. However, in Mad Max: Fury Road, newer and more thought-provoking themes were introduced to the franchise largely through its new characters. With Furiosa on the way, Furiosa can improve upon Mad Max: Fury Road’s biggest theme.
