She may play the younger version of Charlize Theron's character Mad Max: Fury Road‘s Furiosa-focused prequel film looks to be lining-up Killing Eve star Jodie Comer to play the main role.
Last week, it was confirmed by director George Miller that the upcoming movie would centre on the character from the 2015 blockbuster, though actress Charlize Theron would not be returning.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Comer is now being eyed-up to play the younger incarnation of the Imperator. Miller previously revealed he had considered bringing back Theron via de-ageing technology, though in the end decided against it. “For the longest time, I thought we could just use CG de-aging on Charlize, but I don’t think we’re nearly there yet,” he said.
