In the latest installment of the Mad Max franchise, “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,” George Miller takes audiences on a thrilling journey through the post-apocalyptic wasteland once again. But as the credits roll, fans might wonder if there’s more to come after the movie ends.
While “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” serves as a prequel to “Mad Max: Fury Road,” it expands the lore of Miller’s universe, leaving room for potential new stories. The film follows the titular warrior, played by Anya Taylor-Joy, as she aids the escape of the slave breeders under the tyrannical rule of Immortan Joe, setting the stage for the events of “Fury Road.” As the credits roll, scenes from “Fury Road” are recapped, but attentive viewers are rewarded with a tantalizing post-credits scene.
In this brief moment, the post-credits scene of “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” features the iconic bird skull bobblehead that Nux, portrayed by Nicholas Hoult, places on Max’s car dashboard in “Fury Road.” Nux, a half-life War Boy loyal to Immortan Joe, undergoes a transformation throughout the events of “Fury Road,” ultimately sacrificing himself for the sake of Furiosa and her allies.
The inclusion of Nux’s bobblehead in the post-credits scene raises intriguing questions about the possibility of exploring his backstory in future prequels. While Miller has not officially confirmed any plans for a Nux-centric film, the focus on this character’s emblematic symbol hints at the potential for further exploration of his journey before “Fury Road.”
For fans of the Mad Max series, the post-credits scene of “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” offers a tantalizing glimpse into the rich tapestry of Miller’s dystopian world, leaving them eagerly anticipating what new adventures may lie ahead.
