Furiosa's one of my favorite cinematic characters and I consider Theron's performance among the very finest given by a lead actress this decade, but I don't know if I want another film with her. Her arc was perfect as is.
Still, in Dr. George I trust.

Miller says the next Mad Max is basically in pre-production, but will come after a film he’s doing with Idris Elba and Tilda Swinton;

Is this a true spinoff or a sequel?

Is this a true spinoff or a sequel? I imagine at least in part it's a prequel because I believe he's looking at Anya to play younger Furiosa.

I didn't even know he was directing another film. Every piece of news I hear about these sequels makes them seem farther and farther away

Anya and Yahya, yes. Hemsworth, meh. In Dr. George I trust, but still.

George is just bidding his time until the Mad Max movies stop being fiction and become a documentary instead. Almost there...

"Both films involve Mad Max with one of them focusing on Furiosa"
Wrong! George Miller says two stories involving Max and one story involving Furiosa. Max is currently not announced to appear in this prequel
Miller also said this film contains more action than Fury Road..

I find it pretty incredible that Charlize Theron made Furiosa such a memorable character, and Miller just discarded her so casually to make a story about a younger model with another actress. Like I get that he may have had a story in mind about the younger Furiosa even before wrapping Fury Road, but movies are often times about alchemy and magic beyond what is on the page, and you have to acknowledge why some things worked as well as they did. People might not have given a single flying shit about Furiosa if someone other than Theron played her. She deserved another shot at the role. Even if you had to do a rewrite of the prequel script, where it was a case of flashbacks split between older and younger Furiosa.
I dunno. It feels shitty for Theron. I struggle to see a male star who defined a role so clearly being discarded so easily in the role they made viable.

I mean, this is the franchise that literally discarded an actor who originated the role and played it for three films because he was too old (and yes, other factors were in play, but the point stands). Dr. George wisely realized that the technology was not there to convincingly make Charlize Theron looks two decades younger, and he even cited The Irishman as proof that the tech wasn't there. I'm sure Charlize would have loved to have reprised the role (having said as much), but in the end, it's Miller's vision and his decision, and if he's making a prequel film set twenty years before the events of Fury Road, then he's going with what he feels is the right call.

Even if Gibson hadn't become a pariah, I get recasting him. He had 3 films (a nice run), and a total reboot made sense. Fuck, if only Harrison Ford would retire the Indiana Jones role with grace and maybe let new blood take over. But we are going to have to keep sitting through geriatric Indy, because a movie star's ego is unwilling to give up the glory days. As for Miller, yeah, yeah, I get that it's his "vision" and he can do what he chooses. Doesn't have to stop me from still thinking he comes off ungrateful as fuck, because without Theron, nobody gives enough of a shit about Furiosa to merit a tentpole blockbuster about her younger babe days. He'd have to keep only milking the Max character instead. I'd feel salty as fuck if I was Theron, and I initiated this character's iconic cache, only for Miller to give it away to some twenty-something, auteur fucking "vision" be damned.

He'd have to keep only milking the Max character instead. I mean, it's your viewpoint, but I can't see how that is ungrateful. Theron was magnificent in the role and deserved to win the Oscar that year, but she's merely one facet of why Fury Road was as amazing as it is, and if he feels that exploring the character at a period where casting Theron would make no sense given the technological limitations of de-aging CGI, then that's perfectly fine, and he shouldn't have to rewrite the story that he's got in his mind to accommodate an actor if he feels that Furiosa's story at that point in her life is told. It'd be one thing if he wanted to make a follow-up to Fury Road featuring an age-appropriate Furiosa and then dismissed her, but that's not the case here.
